Define Language

Extract and formalize domain terminology from the current conversation into a consistent glossary, saved to specs/UBIQUITOUS_LANGUAGE_LATEST.md.

Distinct from model-domain and deepen-architecture: Use this skill to produce a canonical glossary of terms (words and definitions). Use model-domain to stress-test a plan through an interview that resolves domain model decisions. Use deepen-architecture to find module-level refactoring opportunities in the codebase.

HARD GATE — Ubiquitous language is NOT optional. Every term in the domain that could be misunderstood must be glossed. Ambiguity = rework.

Process

Scan the conversation for domain-relevant nouns, verbs, and concepts
Identify problems:
- Same word used for different concepts (ambiguity)
- Different words used for the same concept (synonyms)
- Vague or overloaded terms
Propose a canonical glossary with opinionated term choices
Write to specs/UBIQUITOUS_LANGUAGE_LATEST.md in the working directory using the format below
Output a summary inline in the conversation

Output Format

# Ubiquitous Language

## Order lifecycle

| Term        | Definition                                              | Aliases to avoid      |
| ----------- | ------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------- |
| **Order**   | A customer's request to purchase one or more items      | Purchase, transaction |
| **Invoice** | A request for payment sent to a customer after delivery | Bill, payment request |

## People

| Term         | Definition                                  | Aliases to avoid       |
| ------------ | ------------------------------------------- | ---------------------- |
| **Customer** | A person or organization that places orders | Client, buyer, account |
| **User**     | An authentication identity in the system    | Login, account         |

## Relationships

- An **Invoice** belongs to exactly one **Customer**
- An **Order** produces one or more **Invoices**

## Example dialogue

> **Dev:** "When a **Customer** places an **Order**, do we create the **Invoice** immediately?"
> **Domain expert:** "No — an **Invoice** is only generated once a **Fulfillment** is confirmed."

## Flagged ambiguities

- "account" was used to mean both **Customer** and **User** — these are distinct concepts.

Rules

Be opinionated. When multiple words exist for the same concept, pick the best one and list the others as aliases to avoid.
Flag conflicts explicitly. If a term is used ambiguously, call it out in "Flagged ambiguities" with a clear recommendation.
Only include terms relevant for domain experts. Skip names of modules or classes unless they have domain meaning.
Keep definitions tight. One sentence max. Define what it IS, not what it does.
Show relationships. Use bold term names and express cardinality where obvious.
Group terms into multiple tables when natural clusters emerge. One table is fine if terms are cohesive.
Write an example dialogue. 3–5 exchanges between a dev and domain expert showing terms used precisely.

Re-running

When invoked again in the same conversation:

Read the existing specs/UBIQUITOUS_LANGUAGE_LATEST.md
Incorporate any new terms from subsequent discussion
Update definitions if understanding has evolved
Re-flag any new ambiguities
Rewrite the example dialogue to incorporate new terms

Codex install prompt

Install the "define-language" agent skill from https://github.com/danielvm-git/bigpowers/tree/main/.cline/skills/define-language. Read its SKILL.md or equivalent instructions first, install only the files needed for this workspace, and summarize any required setup before using it. Skill purpose: Extract a DDD-style ubiquitous language glossary from the current conversation, flagging ambiguities and proposing canonical terms. Saves to specs/UBIQUITOUS_LANGUAGE_LATEST.md. Use when user wants to define domain terms, build a glossary, harden terminology, create a ubiquitous language, or mentions \"domain model\" or \"DDD\". After the install attempt, report the result to https://www.openagentskill.com/api/agent/outcome with POST JSON {"event_id":"install_<unique-id>","skill_slug":"danielvm-git-define-language","task":"Install define-language","agent":"codex","outcome":"success","install_used":true}. Replace event_id with a unique value and outcome with success or failed. Report success only after the skill is installed and a minimal verification passes. Recorded instruction path: .cline/skills/define-language/SKILL.md. Recorded revision: 0e071af3e003fef676fa2e7de8e12c68c981a7e7. Confirm the source matches these instructions.
