Generate Thesaurus Skill

Generate a controlled vocabulary thesaurus for a specified content domain or directory. This skill analyzes content to identify key terms and structures them into a thesaurus with relationships (broader, narrower, related terms).

Inputs

  • PATH - The directory or file path to analyze (e.g., "/docs/security")
  • RECURSIVE - (Optional) Boolean, whether to include subdirectories (default: true)
  • OUTPUT_FORMAT - (Optional) Format of the output: "markdown", "yaml", "json", "csv" (default: "markdown")

Workflow

Step 1: Content Analysis

Analyze the content at PATH to identify frequently used terms, concepts, and entities. This involves scanning documentation files (Markdown, Text, etc.) to extract potential vocabulary candidates.

Step 2: Term Extraction & Relationship Mapping

Identify relationships between terms based on context and standard taxonomies:

  • Preferred Terms: The standard term to be used (e.g., "Multi-Factor Authentication" instead of "MFA").
  • Broader Terms: More general concepts (e.g., "Access Control" is broader than "Authentication").
  • Narrower Terms: More specific sub-concepts (e.g., "Biometrics" is narrower than "Authentication").
  • Related Terms: Associative relationships (e.g., "Identity Management" is related to "Authentication").

Step 3: Thesaurus Generation

Format the collected terms and relationships into the requested OUTPUT_FORMAT.

Example Output (Markdown):

markdown
# Security Thesaurus

## Authentication
*   **Scope Note**: verification of the identity of a user, process, or device
*   **Broader Term**: Access Control
*   **Narrower Terms**: Multi-Factor Authentication, Single Sign-On
*   **Related Terms**: Authorization, Identity Management

Required Outputs

A THESAURUS_DOCUMENT in the specified OUTPUT_FORMAT containing:

  • List of terms
  • Relationships (BT, NT, RT)
  • Scope notes (definitions)
  • Synonyms or "Use For" entries

Quick Reference

  • Purpose: Ensure consistent terminology and improve content findability.
  • Best Practice: Include scope notes for ambiguous terms.
  • Standards: Follows ISO 25964 standards for thesaurus construction where applicable.
