What is knowledge-wiki-template AGENTS.md?

Instructions for working with a personal knowledge base made of Markdown notes and documents. It explains how to search the collection, retrieve files, and follow its folder and wiki conventions.

Use it when answering questions from the notes, searching documents by meaning or keywords, or retrieving one or more knowledge-base files.

It helps an agent find relevant notes and use the knowledge base consistently instead of relying on incomplete context or manual browsing.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00737	$0.00737
Opus 5.5	$0.00295	$0.00295
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00147	$0.00147
Haiku 4.5	$0.00074	$0.00074

Security

Grade A, and why

knowledge-wiki-template AGENTS.md 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 2mo ago.

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 — 37 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Knowledge Base

This workspace is a personal knowledge base — a collection of Markdown notes and documents.

Search

The qmd MCP server is connected and indexes this entire folder as the knowledge collection. Use it for any search or lookup task:

qmd__query — search using a searches array of typed sub-queries. Three types: lex (BM25 keyword; supports "quoted phrase" and -negation), vec (semantic/meaning-based), hyde (hypothetical answer passage, 50-100 words). First sub-query gets 2× weight — combine types for best recall. Key params: intent (disambiguates query), minScore, limit (default 10).
qmd__get — fetch a single document by path, docid (#abc123), or path with line offset (file.md:100). Supports fromLine, maxLines, lineNumbers. Search results include a line field — use fromLine: line-20, maxLines: 80 to read surrounding context.
qmd__multi_get — fetch multiple documents by glob pattern or comma-separated list. Supports maxBytes (skip large files; default 10 KB), maxLines, lineNumbers.
qmd__status — check index health and document count.

Default behavior: When asked about something that might be in the notes, search qmd before answering from training knowledge. If qmd is unavailable or returns insufficient results, fall back to rg (ripgrep) to search the files directly.

Folder Conventions

Folder	Contents
`Wiki/`	AI-generated wiki — see below. Do not edit manually.

Source folders (e.g. Notes/, Ideas/, Docs/) are defined by the repo owner. Treat any folder not listed above as user-maintained source content.

Wiki

The Wiki/ directory implements the LLM Wiki pattern: rather than re-synthesizing knowledge on every query, AI incrementally builds a persistent, interconnected set of markdown pages from the source documents. All content in Wiki/ is generated and maintained by the skills below — do not edit it manually.

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.
