po-glossary

Product glossary

Actively build and sharpen the product language while the PO designs: challenge terms, invent edge-case scenarios, and write each term to the Glossaire the moment it is resolved.

The PO databases live under the PO hub page named in ~/.po-skills/config.md; when the file is missing, stop and tell the user to run /setup-po-skills.

Write in French: every message to the user and everything written to Notion.

Before the first question

Read the Domaines database: it is the glossary map, one row per domain with what it covers and how it relates to the others. Infer the topic's domain from the PRD's Domaine when one exists, or else from the PO's opening pitch; when two fit, take both. Then read every Glossaire entry in that domain and in the domains listed under its Domaines liés.

When the grill later settles a different Domaine, read that domain's terms and its neighbours' the same way.

Done when you hold the terms of the topic's domain and its neighbours.

During the session

Challenge against the Glossaire

When the PO uses a term that clashes with an entry, say so immediately: « Le Glossaire définit "Mandataire" comme X, mais tu sembles parler de Y. Lequel ? » A word listed under an entry's À éviter gets the same treatment.

Sharpen fuzzy language

When a term is vague or overloaded, propose one precise term: « Quand tu dis "compte", tu parles du Compte pro ou de l'Utilisateur ? Ce sont deux choses différentes. »

Discuss concrete scenarios

Stress-test relationships between concepts with specific scenarios that probe the edges, until the PO is precise about where one concept ends and the next begins.

Write to the Glossaire inline

When a term is resolved, write it right there:

1. Re-fetch the entry if it exists. Another PO may have edited it since you read it; if it changed, show the PO the difference and settle it before writing.
2. Create or update the entry in the format below.
3. Link it to the PRD draft through the draft's Termes relation.

New domains

When a term belongs to no existing domain, propose a new one to the PO. Once confirmed, add a Domaines row with its description and relations, then update Relations and Domaines liés on the domains it touches.

Entry format

• Terme: the one word to use, singular. When several words name the same concept, pick the best one and move the others to À éviter.
• Définition: one or two sentences saying what the thing is. A constraint on it (thresholds, deadlines, who may do what) belongs in the PRD or the Sources.
• À éviter: retired synonyms, comma-separated.
• Termes liés, Domaine: set both.

Add a term only when it is specific to the product: a concept the business defines, not an everyday word used in its everyday sense.

Définition  : Personne autorisée par le Titulaire à agir sur son compte, sans en être responsable légalement.
