What it does

Update Glossary is an agent skill from blockscout/frontend. Add a new term, update an existing definition, or remove an outdated entry in .agents/GLOSSARY.md. Use whenever the user wants to write something into the project glossary, or asks "should this be in the glossary?". Enforces the file's principle — disambiguation and etymology only, no paths/env vars/UI-location restatements.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Front-end application for Blockscout chain explorer.

When your agent uses it

  • The user wants to write something into the project glossary
  • Asks should this be in the glossary?

Example prompts

  • “should this be in the glossary?”
  • “/update-glossary”

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Confirm the term and its meaning
  2. Check if it's already in the glossary
  3. Identify cross-references
  4. Draft the row
  5. Place it alphabetically
  6. Update cross-referencing rows
  7. Verify

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3e6a421. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Update Glossary loads about 2.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 86 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,084 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~86
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,084 words (~2,141 tokens).

“.agents/GLOSSARY.md is the ubiquitous-language reference for the Blockscout frontend. It exists to disambiguate easily-confused terms and explain non-obvious names. It is not a feature index, a config reference, or a folder map — those live in code, docs/ENVS.md, and .agents/rules/.”
