Disambiguate resolves markdown glossary terms and their transitive dependencies in topological order. Point it at a directory of *.md term files in either GitHub format or Obsidian format, ask for a slug or two, and get back a self-contained markdown document where every term is defined before it is referenced.

Quickstart

uvx disambiguate                       # render the entire glossary
uvx disambiguate topological-order     # render one term and its dependency closure
uvx disambiguate --from notes.md       # extract glossary-shaped links from a doc
uvx disambiguate --explain             # render Disambiguate's own bundled spec
uvx disambiguate --lint                # validate the glossary

The runtime is stdlib-only — pip install disambiguate brings in nothing else. uvx works without an explicit install.

Installation

pip install disambiguate

How it works

The pipeline parses each term into a body plus a list of cross-references, builds a dependency graph from those references, then runs the resolver to produce topological order. The same pipeline backs from-mode and --explain.
