Use when authoring or reviewing specs, requirements, design docs, ADRs, tasks, glossary entries, domain terms, technical terms, or wording consistency across artifacts.

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

# Glossary

Use existing repository terms before creating new ones.

## Workflow

1. Identify the artifact being authored or reviewed.
2. Read `glossary/business.md` and/or `glossary/technical.md` when present.
3. Extract project-specific, technical, overloaded, ambiguous, or repeated concepts.
4. Compare extracted concepts with existing glossary terms.
5. If existing terms look close, ask the user whether to reuse one or define a new term.
6. Use the chosen term consistently in the artifact.
7. Add new terms to the appropriate glossary file.
8. For non-glossary artifacts, create or update the artifact's companion glossary reference document.

Do not add generic dictionary words or one-off implementation details.

## Glossary Files

- `glossary/business.md`: domain, product, workflow, and business terms.
- `glossary/technical.md`: architecture, implementation, platform, and protocol terms.

If a needed glossary file is missing, create it with this table:

```markdown
| Term | Definition | Use When | Avoid |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
```

New entries use the same table format. Keep definitions to one concise sentence.

## Close-Term Question

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add intent-driven-dev/intent-driven-template/glossary@sha256:fc27a5bef15a8bc0

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260704.35d2195, 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.
