# Terminology Consistency Checker ## What This Skill Does Scans a text for inconsistent use of key terms, names, titles, and technical vocabulary, then produces a flagged report with recommended corrections. ## When To Use This Skill - Before submitting a long-form article, feature, or investigation for publication - When multiple writers or sources have contributed to a single piece and terminology may have drifted - When an editor wants to enforce a house style or field-specific vocabulary standard (e.g., medical, legal, financial) - When revisiting a draft after a long break and suspect terms have been used interchangeably ## What You Need To Provide **Required:** The full text to be checked. **Optional:** A preferred terminology list or house style glossary (e.g., "use 'climate change' not 'global warming'"); names of people or organisations whose styling should be standardised; target publication and its style guide (AP, Guardian, Chicago, etc.). ## How the Assistant Approaches This 1. Reads the full text and builds an internal inventory of every significant term, name, title, and proper noun it encounters — including all spelling variants and capitalisations. 2. Compares each term across its occurrences, flagging pairs or groups where the same referent is expressed differently (e.g., "the Minister" vs. "the minister" vs. "Minister Chen"; "AI" vs. "A.I." vs. "artificial intelligence" used interchangeably). 3. Produces a structured report: one entry per inconsistency,
