FAQPage Schema
How do I generate ISO 11179-compliant glossary definitions from a concept list?

ISO 11179-compliant glossaries enforce precise, concise, and non-circular definitions. This Skill generates alphabetically sorted terms with ISO definitions, examples, and cross-references from a learning-graph concept list, outputting docs/glossary.md and a quality report measuring precision, conciseness, distinctiveness, non-circularity, and example coverage.

What input do I need to create a glossary with ISO 11179 standards?

You need a finalized learning-graph concept list, typically in docs/learning-graph/02-concept-list-v1.md format, and a course description. The Skill validates inputs and generates an ISO-compliant glossary with quality metrics.

Can I use glossary generation for intelligent textbooks and course materials?

Yes. This approach applies to intelligent textbooks and course contexts where concept lists and course descriptions exist. It produces alphabetically ordered, ISO-compliant terms suited for educational documentation and reference materials.

How do I validate glossary quality after generation?

The Skill produces a glossary-quality-report that evaluates precision, conciseness, distinctiveness, non-circularity, and example coverage. This report helps identify and fix definition issues before publication.

What makes ISO 11179 definitions different from standard glossary entries?

ISO 11179 definitions are strictly structured to be precise, concise, distinct from other terms, non-circular, and supported by examples. This standard ensures glossaries are unambiguous and suitable for formal documentation, learning systems, and technical references.

Do I need to manually format glossary terms and cross-references?

No. The Skill automatically enforces alphabetical ordering, applies level-4 headers, generates cross-references, and formats the output as docs/glossary.md, eliminating manual formatting work.
