knowledge-card

knowledge-card is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from alessiomarcone/agent-fieldbook. It costs 62 tokens per session (349 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow that turns one lesson, tutorial, documentation page, article, workshop, video, or transcript into a short, structured knowledge card. The card records the source, main ideas, procedures, reusable prompts, risks, and verification notes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to distill one source into a verifiable card for later work, save cards in a knowledge library, and identify which stable guidance could become a specialist skill.
Why use it?
It makes source material easier to reuse without losing where claims came from. It also separates what the source explicitly says from inferences and details that may need current checking.

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-card 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 10d 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.

What it actually says

Knowledge Card

Distill one source at a time into original, reusable operating knowledge.

References

  • references/knowledge-card-prompt.md — source-neutral card format and synthesis controls.
  • references/knowledge-card.schema.json — exact YAML frontmatter schema.

Procedure

  1. Process one source per card. If several sources are supplied, handle them sequentially.
  2. Separate explicit source claims, reasonable inferences, and details that require current verification.
  3. Remove promotion and repetition; synthesize in original language rather than copying passages.
  4. Include source metadata, one-sentence summary, procedure, principles, reusable prompts, failure modes, verification, time-sensitive details, and related official material.
  5. Identify which stable rules should be promoted into a specialist skill and which should remain only in the card.
  6. Validate parsed YAML frontmatter against the schema and check that every body heading required by the prompt is present.
  7. When repository changes are requested, save under knowledge/<product>/cards/ with a kebab-case filename and update the relevant index.

Boundaries

  • Preserve the source language only when useful; answer and summarize in the user's language.
  • Mark time-sensitive product behavior as requiring verification against current official docs.
  • Never commit raw transcripts or redistribute protected course lessons.
  • Do not modify files when the user requested only an in-chat card.
Files

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
