Published vocabulary / version 1
The vocabulary
Describe an actual action or contribution, not every feature a tool could have used. Combine declarations to describe one clearly defined work or scope.
Published 23 October 2026. These numbered meanings and the v1 encoding are frozen. A future vocabulary gets a new version; existing codes keep their meanings.
