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.
