User-invoked side-route for hardening domain vocabulary. Type it when terminology is fuzzy, competing terms are causing confusion, or a glossary would improve shaping, QA, and refactor conversations. Produces UBIQUITOUS_LANGUAGE.md, then returns to the workflow that needed sharper language.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Ubiquitous Language

Define the domain model's vocabulary. Each term in this glossary is a model element — changing a term here means changing the model and the code.

## Invocation Position

This is a side-route skill that sharpens shared language across the rest of the workflow.

Use `/ubiquitous-language` when terminology is fuzzy, stakeholders are using conflicting terms, or you want a glossary that improves shaping, QA, issue writing, and refactor conversations.

Do not use it as a substitute for feature shaping or implementation. Its job is to improve the language of those workflows, not replace them.

> **One question per turn.** When walking a workflow story or proposing canonical terms, ask one question at a time and wait for the user's answer before asking the next. Language work is a conversation, not a questionnaire.
>
> **Prefer single-select.** Use single-select multiple choice when the user is choosing one direction, one priority, or one next step.
>
> **Use multi-select rarely.** Reserve it for compatible sets — goals, constraints, non-goals, success criteria — that can all coexist. If prioritization matters, follow up asking which selected item is primary.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add chrislacey89/skills/ubiquitous-language@sha256:68e4ebae9a4b0957

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261021.d548445, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
