Shared Dao

Shared Dao

Shared vocabulary is the contract between the author's intent and agent action. Ambiguous, overloaded, drifting, or misleading terms corrupt drafts early: magic systems get renamed, factions blur together, genre terms mean different things in different prompts, and characters speak with vocabulary the author never intended.
Treat vocabulary problems as story-structure problems. Resolve terminology while the meaning is still easy to sharpen.
共享词汇是作者意图与Agent行动之间的契约。模糊、重载、含义偏移或易误导的术语会早早破坏草稿：魔法体系被重命名，派系界限模糊，流派术语在不同提示词中含义不同，角色使用的词汇并非作者本意。
要将词汇问题视为故事结构问题来处理。在含义仍易于明确时就解决术语问题。

Core Discipline

核心准则

Scrutinize important terms aggressively. Reuse existing names when they already fit the concept. Converge on one name per concept and one concept per name as quickly as the evidence allows.
Resolve terminology early:
  • rename when the clearer term is available
  • define when the concept is real but still blurry
  • flag when the author's judgment is required
严格审查重要术语。当已有名称符合概念时，复用现有名称。在证据允许的情况下，尽快达成“一个概念对应一个名称，一个名称对应一个概念”的标准。
尽早解决术语问题：
  • 若有更清晰的术语可用，进行重命名
  • 若概念真实存在但仍模糊，给出定义
  • 若需要作者判断，标记出来

Where Vocab Lives

词汇存放位置

Place terms at the lowest common scope where they are shared:
  • Project vocab (
    kb/vocab.md
    ): terms used across the whole story
  • Domain vocab (
    kb/<domain>/vocab.md
    ): terms specific to one domain, such as worldbuilding, characters, factions, or timeline eras
  • Work notes (
    work/...
    ): provisional vocabulary during story-planning or drafting, promoted to 
    kb/
    once settled
Each entry includes:
  • Canonical name: the form agents should use
  • Definition: one to three sentences. Include boundaries that prevent likely confusion.
  • Aliases: names the author, characters, drafts, or older kb pages actually use
  • Source: where the usage was established or decided
将术语放在其共享范围的最低层级：
  • 项目词汇（
    kb/vocab.md
    ）：适用于整个故事的术语
  • 领域词汇（
    kb/<domain>/vocab.md
    ）：特定领域的术语，如世界观构建、角色、派系或时代
  • 工作笔记（
    work/...
    ）：故事规划或草稿阶段的临时词汇，确定后升级到
    kb/
    目录下
每个条目包含：
  • 标准名称：Agent应使用的形式
  • 定义：1-3句话。包含能避免常见混淆的边界说明。
  • 别名：作者、角色、草稿或旧知识库页面实际使用的名称
  • 来源：术语用法确立或决定的出处

Discovery

术语发现

Before defining new terms, check what already exists:
  1. Read relevant vocab files.
  2. Search 
    CLAUDE.md
    , kb pages, outlines, drafts, and work notes.
  3. Spawn focused subagents when the search is broad enough to crowd your context.
  4. Check how the author uses the term in conversation and prose.
Mint new terms when they mark a real new concept. Let new vocabulary reflect clear distinctions rather than uncertainty, local convenience, or unexamined drift.
在定义新术语前，先检查已有内容：
  1. 阅读相关词汇文件。
  2. 搜索
    CLAUDE.md
    、知识库页面、大纲、草稿和工作笔记。
  3. 当搜索范围过广导致上下文过载时，生成专注的子Agent。
  4. 查看作者在对话和散文中如何使用该术语。
当新术语代表真实的新概念时再创建。让新词汇反映清晰的区分，而非不确定性、局部便利或未经审视的含义偏移。

Disambiguation

歧义消除

Ambiguity is the root failure mode. Resolve it before carrying the term forward:
  • Same term, different meanings: pick one meaning for the canonical definition, and give the other meaning its own name.
  • Different terms, same meaning: pick one as canonical, record the others as aliases.
  • Unclear meaning: ask the author: "When you say X, what specifically do you mean? Where are the edges of that meaning?"
When terminology conflicts with existing kb or draft usage, resolve the drift when the evidence is clear. When author judgment is needed, flag the conflict explicitly in your report so competing names stay visible.
歧义是最根本的失效模式。在使用术语前先解决歧义：
  • 同一术语，不同含义：为标准定义选择一个含义，给另一个含义单独命名。
  • 不同术语，同一含义：选择一个作为标准名称，将其他记录为别名。
  • 含义不明确：询问作者：“当您提到X时，具体指什么？这个含义的边界在哪里？”
当术语与现有知识库或草稿用法冲突时，若证据明确则解决含义偏移问题。若需要作者判断，在报告中明确标记冲突，以便让相互竞争的名称保持可见。

Creative Writing Terms to Watch

需要关注的创意写作术语

  • Magic, technology, powers, abilities, rituals
  • Factions, institutions, places, cultures, eras
  • Titles, ranks, honorifics, forms of address
  • Relationship labels and social categories
  • Character-specific vocabulary, catchphrases, verbal tics
  • Genre terms the author uses with a project-specific meaning
  • Chapter, arc, POV, and timeline labels
Shared vocabulary is the contract between author intent and agent action. Ambiguity you leave in vocab propagates into drafts, critique, continuity, and KB updates.
  • 魔法、科技、能力、超能力、仪式
  • 派系、机构、地点、文化、时代
  • 头衔、等级、尊称、称呼形式
  • 关系标签和社会类别
  • 角色专属词汇、口头禅、语言习惯
  • 作者赋予特定项目含义的流派术语
  • 章节、故事弧、POV（视角）和时间线标签
共享词汇是作者意图与Agent行动之间的契约。词汇中遗留的歧义会传播到草稿、评论、连贯性检查和知识库更新中。
