## Problem ZITADEL has inconsistent naming across docs, UI, and API ([#5888](https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel/issues/5888)). We want contributors and Copilot code-review agents to flag discouraged terms and suggest canonical replacements automatically. ## Solution Add a **Markdown terminology catalog** that Copilot agents read natively. ### What's added - **`TERMINOLOGY.md`** (repo root) — full ~35-term canonical table from issue #5888 with: - Action legend: `keep` / `replace` / `remove` / `internal` / `proposed` - Scope legend: `UI` / `Docs` / `API` / `Everywhere` - "Search for (discouraged)" and "Replace with / enforce" columns - Governance section (how to add new terms, ownership) - **`.github/instructions/terminology.instructions.md`** — Copilot `applyTo`-scoped instruction that activates on every PR touching docs/i18n/proto files and tells the agent: - Which files map to which scope - Not to flag identifiers/field names in proto files (only comments/descriptions) - To request catalog updates when new terms are introduced ### What's updated - `.github/copilot-instructions.md` — points to `TERMINOLOGY.md` - `apps/docs/AGENTS.md` — updated reference, removed dead `check-terminology` Nx target entry - `.github/pull_request_template.md` — checklist item updated - `.github/workflows/ready_for_review.yml` — checklist item updated ### Why Markdown over JSON | | Markdown | JSON | |---|---|---| | Copilot reads natively | yes | no (needs parsing context) | | Mirrors AGENTS.md table style | yes | no | | Human-readable without tooling | yes | no | | Mirrors the #5888 issue format | yes | no | | Requires schema / parser | no | yes | ### Why root over `.github/` `.github/` is for GitHub-specific automation files. `TERMINOLOGY.md` is a project-wide convention document — it belongs alongside `CONTRIBUTING.md`, `CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md`, and `AGENTS.md` at the repo root. ## How it works in practice When a PR touches `apps/docs/content/**`, `console/src/assets/i18n/**`, `apps/login/locales/**`, or `proto/**/*.proto`, Copilot code review automatically loads `.github/instructions/terminology.instructions.md` and cross-references `TERMINOLOGY.md` to flag discouraged terms. Human reviewers see the terminology checklist in the auto-comment on PR open. ## Checklist - [x] `TERMINOLOGY.md` at repo root with all ~35 terms from #5888 - [x] Plain text action/scope values (no emojis) - [x] Copilot instruction file scoped to correct file patterns - [x] All stale `terminology-rules.json` references removed - [x] No linter/CI step added (guidelines-only approach) Relates to: #5888 --------- Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Fabienne Bühler <fabienne@zitadel.com>
