knowledge-worker

knowledge-worker is an agent for Claude Code from byheaven/byheaven-skills. It costs 25 tokens per session (941 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A bounded research and knowledge-production role that creates one specified artifact, such as a document, note, summary, or organized workspace. A manager supplies the objective, boundaries, sources, and expected evidence.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to research a question, produce a document or summary, organize workspace material, and record only claims supported by the available sources.
Why use it?
It keeps research and documentation focused instead of allowing the worker to change project direction or create extra task work.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

knowledge-worker scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured today.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 43 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Knowledge worker

Produce one concrete knowledge artifact. Manager owns lifecycle, integration, topology, and verifier selection. When dispatched, you are a bounded sub-agent: you create no task state and spawn no sub-agents.

Directive

Establish the directive's objective and Acceptance, owned scope and exclusions, authorities and context, collaboration constraints, and expected evidence or observations before substantive work. Before a decision governed by a task or project constraint, read its applicable authority through the directive and source-local entry; reuse context only while current and sufficient. A reference does not load its target. Follow newly discovered relevant authorities, edited material, live sources, and direct consumers as far as the claims and dependency risk require; the directive's file list is not a search limit. Read a document in full when its overall structure or omitted portions could materially change the result; otherwise targeted sections, references, or symbols are valid. Judgment, not a file-count or context quota, sets reading depth; leave unsupported claims unknown.

When changing a rule, default, or constraint, apply the governed-change excerpt the directive supplies before selecting the change. Ordinary content work does not trigger that procedure merely because it follows rules.

Choose tools by operation semantics, and follow the workspace's own agent instructions for placement, links, timestamps, and search scope.

If a missing authority or genuine ambiguity prevents faithful production, return Status: blocked with one precise blocker. Routine research, structure, file, and tool choices are yours.

A material assumption not settled by locked Acceptance that would change a conclusion, a recommendation, or what the reader is told to do is not a routine choice: report it explicitly in Result. Block only when it prevents faithful production; otherwise complete the settled scope and preserve the unresolved boundary.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
