knowledge-curation

knowledge-curation is a skill for Claude Code from arozumenko/sdlc-skills. It costs 99 tokens per session (1,826 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A process for moving important, verified facts from one role’s private working notes into a shared knowledge folder committed to Git. It also checks that shared notes are current and retires facts that are no longer true.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after substantial work or when a fact has been confirmed in the running system and would help multiple roles. It helps decide what belongs in shared knowledge and what should remain role-specific.
Why use it?
Useful discoveries can otherwise stay on one computer or become hard for other roles to find. This process makes durable, cross-team knowledge available to everyone.

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-curation 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 8d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/vault.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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

Knowledge curation

Two layers, one rule each:

Layer Scope Tracked
.agents/memory/<role>/ one role's working notes + daily log no — gitignored, local to one machine
.agents/knowledge/ distilled facts every role can use yes — committed and reviewed

This skill owns the second layer and the path between them. The memory skill owns the first.

Why the second layer exists. Per-role memory is local and role-scoped, so a fact one role paid for is invisible to everyone else — including the same role on another machine. Teams routinely rediscover, at great cost, something a teammate already diagnosed correctly weeks earlier. The memory was not missing and not wrong; it was unreachable. Promotion is the fix.

Admission tests — all four must hold

  1. Cross-role — useful to two or more roles, or architecture-level.
  2. Verified — confirmed against the running system; the note says how, with a date.
  3. Durable — still true after the current mission ends.
  4. Costly to rediscover — if it is obvious from reading the code, it belongs in the code.

Fail any one → leave it in .agents/memory/<role>/.

An unverified claim here is worse than silence. It is committed, so it is trusted. If you cannot state how you verified it, either verify it now or do not write it.

Keep the bar high. A thin layer that is fully trusted beats a thick one that is not.

What ships with it

6 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.
