claude-glossary

A Claude Code plugin that lazy-loads glossary definitions into the model's context when your prompt mentions matching terms.

A port of pi-glossary (for the pi coding agent) to Claude Code.

Why

This lets you keep a shared project vocabulary in one place without bloating every turn's prompt. Definitions are only injected when the current prompt references a matching glossary handle.

More about it in this blog post

How It Works

  1. On session start, the plugin loads ~/.claude/glossary.json or ~/.claude/glossary.jsonl, and .claude/glossary.json or .claude/glossary.jsonl from the current project.
  2. Either file may contain {"include": "path_or_url"} entries to inline entries from another local file or URL at that position (see Include Directives).
  3. Project entries override global entries when they use the same term. Within a file, earlier entries (top) take priority over later ones.
  4. When you submit a prompt (the prompt.submit function hook), the plugin scans it for all matching glossary terms, aliases, or explicit regex patterns.
  5. If one or more terms match, only terms not already loaded in the current session are attached to the prompt as hidden context: the model sees the definitions, while the transcript shows your prompt as typed. The first injection in a session includes guidance for interpreting glossary definitions; later injections include only the ## Glossary heading and new term definitions. Definitions from a URL include are marked as not written by you, so the model reads them as an explanation of the term rather than as instructions; definitions from your global and project glossaries are not marked.
  6. Loaded terms stay visible for the rest of the session in the status line as Glossary: term, term.
  7. Matched terms are highlighted live in the prompt box as you type.
  8. After a context compaction or a /clear, loaded terms are reset, so they are re-injected when mentioned again.
  9. When Claude starts a subagent (the Agent tool), the subagent's task is scanned the same way, and the definitions it mentions are appended to the task. A subagent starts with an empty context, so it gets them even when they are already loaded in your conversation. Forks inherit your conversation, glossary included, so they get nothing extra.
  10. When you edit, create or delete a glossary file (or a local file it includes), the plugin notices on your next prompt and reloads by itself. Loaded terms whose definition changed are re-injected the next time they are mentioned; unchanged terms stay loaded.

What It Does

  • Loads glossary entries from global and project-scoped glossary.json or glossary.jsonl
  • Supports {"include": "path_or_url"} entries to pull in remote or local glossaries inline
  • Matches canonical terms and optional aliases out of the box
  • Supports custom regex triggers per entry
  • Expands {{shell command}} placeholders in definitions at injection time
  • Validates glossary entries and shows actionable errors
  • Reloads the glossary automatically when a glossary file changes, without restarting Claude Code
  • Highlights matched terms live in the prompt box
  • Shows loaded terms in the status line for the whole session
  • Provides an mcp__glossary__lookup tool for [[term]] cross-references
  • Shares matching definitions with subagents whose task mentions them
  • Avoids re-appending glossary entries that were already loaded earlier in the session

Installation

claude plugin marketplace add ruliana/claude-glossary
claude plugin install glossary@claude-glossary

On first run, the plugin writes a default global glossary to ~/.claude/glossary.json if neither ~/.claude/glossary.json nor ~/.claude/glossary.jsonl exists. This happens only once: if you delete it, the plugin respects that.

To remove:

claude plugin uninstall glossary@claude-glossary

The plugin uses Claude Code's function hooks, an early-access API. It has been tested with Claude Code 2.1.289.

Development

Run Claude Code with the plugin loaded straight from a checkout:

claude --plugin-dir /path/to/claude-glossary

Migrating from pi-glossary

Copy ~/.pi/agent/glossary.json to ~/.claude/glossary.json and .pi/glossary.json to .claude/glossary.json. Alternatively, keep the old files and use an include directive pointing at them:

[
  { "include": "/home/you/.pi/agent/glossary.json" }
]

Project Configuration

Create ~/.claude/glossary.json or ~/.claude/glossary.jsonl for global terms and/or .claude/glossary.json or .claude/glossary.jsonl inside a project for project-specific terms.

JSON arrays continue to work:

[
  {
    "term": "explore-plan-execute-review",
    "aliases": ["EPER"],
    "definition": "Spawn a team of subagents to explore, plan, execute, and review a task end to end."
  },
  {
    "term": "finance-safe",
    "pattern": "(?:^|[^\\w])finance-safe(?:$|[^\\w])",
    "definition": "Use the conservative workflow: explicit assumptions, no destructive actions, and a reviewer pass before execution."
  }
]

JSON Lines is also supported, with one entry per line:

{"term":"explore-plan-execute-review","aliases":["EPER"],"definition":"Spawn a team of subagents to explore, plan, execute, and review a task end to end."}
{"term":"finance-safe","pattern":"(?:^|[^\\w])finance-safe(?:$|[^\\w])","definition":"Use the conservative workflow: explicit assumptions, no destructive actions, and a reviewer pass before execution."}

When the same term exists in both scopes, the project entry wins.

If both .json and .jsonl exist in the same scope, the plugin raises an error and asks you to keep only one.

Include Directives

Any position in a glossary file can be an include directive instead of a regular entry:

{ "include": "path/to/other.json" }
{ "include": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/org/repo/main/glossary.json" }
{ "include": "https://gist.githubusercontent.com/user/id/raw/glossary.jsonl" }

Includes work in both JSON arrays and JSONL files. The referenced source is expanded in-place: entries from the included file appear at the position of the include directive, as if you had copy-pasted them there.

Priority follows list order — top wins. Entries that appear earlier in the file have higher priority. This means you control what wins by where you put things:

[
  { "term": "deploy", "definition": "project-specific, wins over anything below" },
  { "include": "https://example.com/team-glossary.json" }
]

In this example, the local deploy entry is listed first and wins over any deploy from the URL.

Supported sources:

SourceExample
Local path (relative to the project directory)"include": "../shared/glossary.json"
Local path (absolute)"include": "/home/user/.config/glossary.json"
Local path (no extension)"include": "extras" — resolves to extras.json or extras.jsonl
GitHub file (browser URL)"include": "https://github.com/org/repo/blob/main/glossary.json"
GitHub file (raw URL)"include": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/org/repo/main/glossary.json"
GitHub Gist (browser Raw button)"include": "https://gist.github.com/user/id/raw/hash/glossary.jsonl"
GitHub Gist (raw URL)"include": "https://gist.githubusercontent.com/user/id/raw/hash/glossary.jsonl"
Plain URL"include": "https://example.com/glossary.json"

Browser-visible GitHub URLs (the /blob/ variant and the gist Raw button URL) are automatically converted to their downloadable equivalents, so you can paste them directly without editing.

Rules:

  • Circular includes (A includes B which includes A) are detected and skipped with a warning.
  • A failed include (file not found, network error, parse error) is reported as a warning and skipped — other entries still load.
  • Included files may themselves contain include directives (recursive).
  • Relative local paths resolve against the project directory (where Claude Code was started), not against the file that contains the include. This applies to includes in the global glossary and in nested includes too, so prefer absolute paths there.
  • GitHub URLs (raw files, gists) are fetched with authentication: GITHUB_TOKEN env var is tried first; if absent, the gh CLI's stored credentials are used (gh auth token). Private gists work as long as either is available. The token is sent only over https and only when the URL's host is exactly github.com, api.github.com, raw.githubusercontent.com or gist.githubusercontent.com; every other URL is fetched without it. The token is also sent only for includes written in your global glossary (or a local file it includes). An include in a project glossary, or inside a remote glossary, is fetched without it, so a repository or a remote file cannot read your private GitHub content. To include a private GitHub glossary in a project, add that include to your global glossary instead.
  • Entries from a URL include cannot run shell command templates unless the include opts in with "allowShell": true (see below).

Glossary Entry Fields

FieldRequiredDescription
termYesCanonical glossary handle
definitionYesDefinition injected when the entry matches. Supports {{shell command}} template placeholders (see below).
aliasesNoAdditional plain-text aliases used for matching; not included in injected context
patternNoExplicit regex trigger; overrides the default matcher
flagsNoRegex flags, defaults to iu
enabledNoSet to false to disable an entry

Shell Command Templates

Definition strings can embed shell commands using {{command}} placeholders. Each placeholder is replaced with the command's stdout (trimmed) right before the definition is injected into the context or returned by mcp__glossary__lookup.

{
  "term": "current branch",
  "definition": "The current branch in {{pwd}} is {{git branch --show-current}}."
}

When this term is matched, the agent receives something like:

The current branch in /home/user/myproject is feat/new-login.

Rules:

  • Commands run in the session's working directory.
  • Each distinct command in a definition runs at most once per injection.
  • If a command exits with an error or times out (5 s limit), the placeholder is replaced with [error: <message>] rather than stopping the injection.
  • The /glossary browser shows the raw template text (unexpanded), since expansion happens at prompt-submit time.
  • Templates run only for entries from your own glossary files and the local files they include. Entries that come from a URL include (directly or through anything it includes) are not expanded: each placeholder becomes [shell template disabled: remote glossary source].
  • To let a remote glossary you trust run its templates, add "allowShell": true to the include in your own file. Only an include written in a local glossary can grant this; a remote glossary cannot grant it to itself or to what it includes:
{ "include": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/org/repo/main/glossary.json", "allowShell": true }

Anyone who can change that URL's content can then run commands on your machine whenever a matching term is mentioned, so opt in only for sources you control. allowShell only works on https URLs; on an http include it is ignored with a warning, since anyone on the network path could rewrite the file.

Validation

Each enabled entry must have:

  • a non-empty term
  • a non-empty definition
  • a valid regex pattern if pattern is provided

If validation fails, /glossary and /glossary reload show an actionable error that identifies the bad entry. An entry from a URL include whose pattern or flags do not compile is skipped with a warning instead, so a broken remote glossary cannot switch off the rest of yours.

Matching Behavior

If pattern is omitted, the plugin builds a case-insensitive, boundary-aware matcher from term plus aliases.

That means these work well out of the box:

  • single terms like tophat
  • dashed handles like explore-plan-execute-review
  • multi-word phrases like railway topic

Use pattern when you want total control over matching.

When multiple entries match the same prompt, all matching entries are considered. Entries already loaded earlier in the session are skipped so they are not injected again.

Tool

ToolDescription
mcp__glossary__lookupLook up a glossary term, for [[term]] cross-references in definitions

Commands

CommandDescription
/glossaryOpen an interactive glossary browser pane (type to search, Tab to move between terms). Running it again while the pane is open closes it. Under claude -p, where no pane can be drawn, it prints the term list instead
/glossary closeClose the browser pane. Esc also closes it, but only while the pane has the keyboard or the prompt is idle and empty; otherwise use this, /glossary again, or the pane's Close button
/glossary reloadReload ~/.claude/glossary.json or ~/.claude/glossary.jsonl, and .claude/glossary.json or .claude/glossary.jsonl, and refetch URL includes. Also resets the session's loaded terms. Edits to local files reload by themselves, so this is mainly for picking up a changed URL include

Notes

  • Glossary data can be global (~/.claude/glossary.json or ~/.claude/glossary.jsonl) or project-scoped (.claude/glossary.json or .claude/glossary.jsonl).
  • Nothing is injected when the prompt does not mention a glossary handle.
  • Subagent tasks are written by Claude, not typed by you, so what a subagent receives depends on the words Claude used. Shell templates expand for subagents with the same rules as for your prompts.
  • Once a term is loaded in a session, mentioning it again does not inject it again (until a compaction, a /clear, or /glossary reload).
  • Edits to glossary files reload automatically on your next prompt (or the next /glossary or lookup). The plugin compares the modification time and size of every local file it read, so the check costs a few stat calls per prompt.
  • If an edit leaves a file invalid (half-saved JSON, say), the plugin shows the error once and keeps using the previous glossary until the file is fixed.
  • URL includes are not watched. They are refetched whenever a local glossary file changes, or with /glossary reload.
