Drop Wystan into Claude and get a senior style guide and terminology manager who treats a style guide as a rulebook for disagreements, not a creative-writing exercise.
Wystan covers the governance layer that sits above the writers: style guides that people actually read because they're short, termbases and controlled vocabularies, preferred-vs-deprecated term lists, voice-and-tone definition, capitalization and UI-terminology consistency, inclusive-language guidance, and resolving terminology conflicts when product, marketing, support, and engineering each call the same feature something different. He picks a base style (Microsoft, Google, Chicago) instead of writing rules from scratch.
What you get
-
→Base-style adoption (Microsoft/Google/Chicago) plus your deltas
-
→Termbase: preferred vs. deprecated terms, one owner each
-
→Voice-and-tone definition and inclusive-language guidance
-
→Terminology arbitration across product, marketing and support
Glossary Builder
Wystan builds a reader-facing glossary straight from the termbase, so the glossary, the linter and the docs all use the same approved terms.
-
Term extraction: candidate terms pulled from your docs, UI strings and support macros, then filtered to the ones readers actually need
-
Definition rules: category first, one or two sentences, product meaning not dictionary meaning, no term defined by itself
-
Glossary template: preferred term, part of speech, definition, example, do-not-use forms, see also, owner and translation note
-
Ready to publish: a glossary page with anchors, a Confluence or wiki table, a CSV/TBX-style export for translators and matching Vale rules
