kb-ingest

kb-ingest is a skill for Claude Code from atman-33/workhub. It costs 52 tokens per session (4,308 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A document intake workflow for a Workhub knowledge base. It files notes into projects, reference topics, or an archive, adds links and metadata, and identifies actionable items as possible tasks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to process Markdown notes from an inbox or folder, classify them, link related documents, and propose tasks.
Why use it?
It removes the manual work of deciding where new notes belong and connecting them to related information. It also keeps raw inbox material from becoming disorganized.

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

kb-ingest 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 4d 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 — 384 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

KB Ingest — Inbox Intake + Classification + Linking

Process new documents into the workhub vault. Reads content, classifies into the right zone, plans a folder-first destination and canonical filename, generates metadata, creates wikilinks, updates related documents, maintains indexes — and proposes tasks for actionable items.

Vault zones (classification targets)

Zone Contents
inbox/ raw input landing zone — the default ingest source
projects/<name>/ notes tied to an active project (deliverables, design notes)
knowledge/<topic>/ durable reference knowledge, organized by topic
archive/ completed, historical, or inactive material
journal/ daily/weekly notes — never an ingest target or source
tasks/ task board — actionable items become tasks (see TASK step)

Usage

/kb-ingest                      # Process all eligible files in inbox/
/kb-ingest path/to/file.md      # Process a specific file
/kb-ingest path/to/folder/      # Process all eligible .md files in a folder
/kb-ingest --unattended [--stale-days N] [--exclude <dir>,...]
                                # Headless mode for scheduled/automated runs:
                                # only stale files, auto-file the unambiguous,
                                # log the rest as pending-review (see below)

Structural README Exception

  • Treat inbox/**/README.md as structural guidance notes, not ingest candidates.
  • Exclude these README files from default inbox scans and folder-based batch ingest.
  • If one is passed explicitly, stop and ask the user before any move, rename, frontmatter, summary, wikilink, backlink, or index action.

Execution Flow

For each document to ingest:

1. READ

  • Read full document content
  • Extract existing frontmatter (preserve if present)
  • Identify document type: note, reference, meeting, idea, log, paper, etc.
  • Note content length (affects summarization decision)

2. ANALYZE

  • Read relevant _index.md files for context (NOT full documents — token-efficient)
  • Determine classification:
