Maintain the project's shared vocabulary in CONTEXT.md — challenge conflicting terms, sharpen fuzzy language, record resolutions inline. Use when a term conflicts with or is missing from the glossary, when a decision names a new concept, or when another skill needs the glossary discipline.

# Domain Glossary One shared language between the user, the agent, and the code, living in `CONTEXT.md` at the repo root — a glossary and nothing else. The payoff compounds across work: a term sharpened during one piece of work serves every later one — shorter conversations, consistent naming in code and tests, fewer tokens spent decoding jargon. ## Format ```markdown # {Project Name} {One or two sentences on what this project is.} ## Language **Order**: {One or two sentences. What it IS, not what it does.} _Avoid_: purchase, transaction **Customer**: A person or organization that places orders. _Avoid_: client, buyer, account ``` Rules of the file: - **Be opinionated.** When several words name one concept, pick the best and list the rivals under `_Avoid_`. - **Published API names outrank opinion.** A misleading name that's public API (a decade-old keyword argument) can't be renamed — define it *against* its general meaning instead ("not actually a cryptographic salt; the name is API, the definition rules"). The glossary's job there is disambiguation, not renaming. - **Tight definitions.** One or two sentences; define what it *is*. - **Project concepts only.** General programming concepts (retries, timeouts, error types) don't belong, however often the project uses them. - **No implementation details.** `CONTEXT.md` is not a spec, a scratchpad, or a decision log — decisions go in the work file or an ADR. - **Create lazily.** No `CONTEXT.md`?
