At a glance

Build a translation/terminology glossary so a product's key terms render consistently everywhere.

  • Asked to create a glossary
  • SKILL.md covers Required Inputs, Output Format, Quality Checks and Anti-Patterns, plus 2 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • A do-not-translate list

What it does

Glossary Builder is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Build a translation/terminology glossary so a product's key terms render consistently everywhere. Use when asked to create a glossary, a termbase, a do-not-translate list, or to keep terminology consistent across translators/locales. Produces a glossary — each source term with its approved translation per locale, part of speech, definition/context, and do-not-translate flags — ready for a CAT tool or style guide.

Its SKILL.md is about 950 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Writing & Content, covering Translation. The repository describes itself as: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to create a glossary
  • A do-not-translate list
  • Keep terminology consistent across translators/locales

Example prompts

  • “/glossary-builder”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. 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

Glossary Builder loads about 950 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 108 tokens; SKILL.md has 439 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~108
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~950

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.

description
Build a translation/terminology glossary so a product's key terms render consistently everywhere. Use when asked to create a glossary, a termbase, a do-not-translate list, or to keep terminology consistent across translators/locales. Produces a glossary — each source term with its approved translation per locale, part of speech, definition/context, and do-not-translate flags — ready for a CAT tool or style guide.

Glossary Builder Skill

Inconsistent terminology is the most visible localization failure — when "dashboard" is translated three ways across one product, it looks amateur and confuses users. A glossary (termbase) fixes the key terms once, so every translator and every locale uses the approved rendering. This skill builds it: extract the terms that matter, define them in context, and set the approved translation (or do-not-translate flag).

Required Inputs

Ask for these only if they aren't already provided:

  • The source material / domain — product UI, docs, or a term list; and the field (so definitions are right).
  • Target locale(s) — which languages need approved translations.
  • Existing decisions — any brand terms, product names, or prior translations to lock in.
  • Do-not-translate candidates — brand/product names, trademarks, code/API terms.

Output Format

Glossary: [product/domain]

A termbase table — one row per term:

Source termPart of speechDefinition / contextDo-not-translate?[Locale 1][Locale 2]
Dashboardnounthe main metrics screenno仪表板Tableau de bord
Acme Cloudproper nounproduct nameyes (keep verbatim)Acme CloudAcme Cloud
sync (verb)verbto reconcile data both waysno同步synchroniser

Guidance included:

  • Definitions/context — so a translator knows which meaning (e.g. "ticket" = support case, not event admission), preventing the classic wrong-sense error.
  • Do-not-translate list — brand/product names, trademarks, code identifiers, UI elements that must stay in English.
  • Part of speech / forms — flag terms where the form matters (verb vs. noun "filter").
  • Consistency notes — preferred vs. avoided synonyms in the source itself ("use 'sign in', not 'log in'").

Output note: structured for import into a CAT tool (Trados/memoQ/Crowdin) or to sit in the localization style guide. Mark any translation that needs native review as (draft — confirm).

Quality Checks

  • Each term has a definition/context so translators pick the right sense
  • Do-not-translate terms (brand, product, code) are clearly flagged
  • An approved translation is given per target locale (or marked draft for review)
  • Part of speech / ambiguous forms are disambiguated
  • Source-side consistency (preferred synonyms) is noted
  • Structured for a CAT tool / style-guide import

Anti-Patterns

  • Do not list terms without context — "ticket" or "filter" with no definition guarantees wrong-sense translations
  • Do not omit the do-not-translate flags — that's how brand/product names get mangled across locales
  • Do not present machine translations as approved — mark them draft for native review
  • Do not ignore source consistency — if the source mixes "sign in/log in," the glossary should pick one
  • Do not forget part of speech — a term that's both noun and verb often needs two entries

Based On

Terminology-management practice — termbases, do-not-translate lists, context definitions, CAT-tool glossary structure.

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "Create a glossary for our product."
  • "Build a termbase for the translators."
  • "Make a do-not-translate list."
  • "Keep terminology consistent across languages."
