# Glossary

Add domain terms to project glossaries in the Obsidian vault.

## Location

Use the project's glossary note or folder (see the `vault` skill's Core Paths for the exact location). Search first; do not create duplicates.

## Workflow

1. Search existing glossary/project notes for the term and aliases.
2. Add or update one glossary entry.
3. Link related vault notes with WikiLinks.

## Entry Format

```markdown
## Term Name

**Definition:** Clear, concise definition in plain language.

**Context:** Where/how this term is used in the project.

**Also known as:** Alternative names, abbreviations, or synonyms.

**Related:** [[Link to related terms or concepts]]

**Example:** Concrete example of the term in use.
```

For simple terms, **Definition** alone is sufficient.

## Guidelines

- Plain language — avoid defining jargon with more jargon
- Update definitions as understanding evolves
