vocabulary-rule

What problem does it solve?

Provides a single, enforceable vocabulary baseline so agents and authors interpret term meanings and rule-strength expressions consistently, preventing ambiguous instructions and conflicting behavioral expectations across governance documents.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Registry-driven normalization: Maintains an active vocabulary registry with canonical meanings, decision rules, allowed values, and prohibited interpretations to normalize ambiguous terms before action.
• Strength semantics & conflict resolution: Establishes how must/should/should not/must not expressions are interpreted and prescribes priority resolution across global_instructions, AGENTS, and SKILL.md-family documents.
• Auditability and history: Defines history recording paths and review workflows so changes to term meanings and rule interpretations are tracked and verifiable.
• Use Case: When an agent encounters an ambiguous instruction like "should prioritize soon", use this Skill to convert that phrase into a defined priority, record rationale if deviating from recommendations, and log the change in the configured history path.

Quick Start

Instruct the agent to normalize all ambiguous terms in the target SKILL.md against the vocabulary registry and produce a normalization log.
