Terminology scan

A routine that reads your documents for words the glossary does not define and proposes them, for an admin to accept.

You get a list of glossary candidates: words your documents use in a particular sense that the workspace has not defined, each with the sentence it was found in. An admin turns the good ones into terms with one prompt.

The prompt

Read the skill at https://github.com/fred-abrahamson/midland-examples/blob/main/terminology-scan/SKILL.md and follow it. Source: our documentation site, credential "docs-reader". Destination: the list "Glossary candidates". Weekly. A candidate is a capitalized or quoted phrase, or a word used with a definition-like sentence, that no term in this workspace defines; one entry per candidate with the sentence and the page. Preview and stop.

The skill

terminology-scan/SKILL.md covers how the routine reads the existing terms to exclude them, the heuristics that find candidates and the keys that stop a re-run from repeating one. It ends with the follow-up prompt that turns accepted candidates into terms.

Check

After the first attempt, the list holds candidates. Paste the follow-up prompt from the skill; the agent proposes definitions for the ones you pick and creates them as terms.
