| wskill | One self-contained folder capturing a topic as a WCL data model, with the schema and source metadata travelling with it, projected into a book and a skill. | |
| topic | The overarching subject a wskill describes, declared once in the entry point. | |
| projection | A deterministic render of the one data model into a specific output. A wskill has two: the book and the skill. | |
| book | The human-readable projection: a wdoc site that is the comprehensive reference for the topic. | |
| skill | The Claude Code projection: a SKILL.md plus reference files an agent loads to work with the topic. | |
| gather | The mechanism by which the root document collects every block instance of a kind into a single list field for the templates to repeat over. | |
| block | One unit of content — a concept, fact, tutorial, step, and so on — declared with a kind and gathered into the document. | |
| audience | A symbol_set field on every content block selecting which projections render it: book (default), ai, or both — an unknown value is a wcl check error. | |
| artifact | A real file (script, template, or data) bundled into the emitted skill via a skill-artifact block, rather than projected from content. | |
| collection | A repo of many wskills (under a wskills/ subdirectory) with one auto-discovered landing page linking down to every member's book. | |
| member | One wskill folder inside a collection, discovered by scanning subfolders for a wskill entry point. | |
| source | A metadata entry naming where current information about the topic lives. It drives the update workflow and is never rendered as content. |
