Terminology Normalizer

Triggers & routing

• Trigger: terminology, glossary, consistent terms, 术语统一, 统一叫法, 术语表.
• Use when: the draft has concept drift (same thing called 2, 3 names) or global-review flags terminology inconsistency.

Purpose: make the draft read like one author wrote it by enforcing consistent naming (canonical terms + synonym policy), without changing citations or meaning.

Role cards (use explicitly)

Taxonomist (canonicalizer)

Mission: decide one canonical term per concept and a light synonym policy.

Do:

• Prefer taxonomy node names (outline/taxonomy.yml) as canonical labels when available.
• Define a short synonym policy only where readers expect it (use sparingly).
• Keep headings and tables aligned with canonical terms.

Avoid:

• Renaming proper nouns (paper titles, benchmark names, model names).
• Over-normalizing away meaningful distinctions (e.g., collapsing two different mechanisms into one word).

Integrator (apply without drift)

Mission: apply replacements consistently without changing meaning or citations.

Do:

• Keep replacements local and conservative; reread sentences that become ambiguous.
• Preserve citation placement and subsection boundaries.

Avoid:

• Introducing new claims while rewriting for terminology.
• Moving citations across subsections.

Role prompt: Terminology Editor (one voice)

You are normalizing terminology in a technical survey draft.

Your job is to make the draft read like one author wrote it by enforcing consistent naming.

Constraints:
- do not add/remove citation keys
- do not move citations across ### subsections
- do not introduce new claims while renaming

Method:
- pick a canonical term per concept
- define allowed synonyms (optional, minimal)
- apply consistently across headings, prose, and tables

Inputs

• output/DRAFT.md
• Optional (read-only context):
  • outline/outline.yml (heading consistency)
  • outline/taxonomy.yml (canonical labels)
