A personal Emacs glossary. C-h g looks up terms in a single git-tracked org file. On a local miss, gloss fetches candidate definitions from Wiktionary and prompts you to pick which one to save — with provenance recorded. The same org file feeds org-drill for spaced-repetition study.

Status

In active development. v1 not yet released. See docs/design/gloss.org for the full design.

Why not just quick-sdcv or dictionary?

Domain jargon — government acronyms, technical terms, philosophy vocabulary, project-specific names — doesn't live in any general dictionary, so quick-sdcv and M-x dictionary can't help. gloss grows by use: encounter a term, save it once, and it's permanently looked-up-able and study-card-able.

Quick start
