I like that. I got about halfway there as I have agents contribute to and reference a GLOSSARY.md file but it didn’t occur to me to give better names to the items.
I’ve found such a concept a must. Not GLOSSARY.md for me, I bake it into the main ruleset, but teaching the AI to speak the language without it needing to learn from context? Saves a truckload of tokens. In my experience, the initial “context sweep” fell down by 20-40k tokens on large requests.
I vibed a GLOSSARY in the README of my new projec and it helped me find important components and confusing names. I really struggled with AIs definition of one word. I realized the word was doing two jobs and I messed up my abstraction.
AI continues consistent patterns, but it’s terrible at starting them. You have to enforce consistency early on.
