What it does

Glossary Generator is an agent skill from dmccreary/ibook-skills. Generates a glossary from the learning graph's concept list with ISO 11179-compliant definitions (precise, concise, non-circular). Use after the learning graph concept list is finalized.

Its SKILL.md is about 4.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/iso-11179-standards.md`).

It sits in AI & LLM Engineering.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 98a9991. 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
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

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

Glossary Generator loads about 4.5k tokens when it runs, and up to ~6.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 51 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,043 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~51
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~4.5k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them: ~6.7k

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.
