cartographer-kb-create

cartographer-kb-create is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from BeppeTemp/cartographer. It costs 53 tokens per session (3,585 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A procedure for creating a persistent knowledge base, which is an organized collection of information that agents can read and update. It stores the source in a Git repository and declares it in deployment configuration so it can be rebuilt after a server restart.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create a knowledge base, connect it to a Gitea repository, deploy it through a ConfigMap, verify the connection, and author skills, subagents, hooks, and tool descriptions.
Why use it?
It prevents knowledge-base contents from disappearing when a container or server process is replaced. It also explains how to add related agent files and protect them with SOPS encryption.

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

cartographer-kb-create 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 yesterday.

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.

KB Create — Skill

Purpose

Guide an operator through creating a new Knowledge Base (KB) the persistent, GitOps way: a Gitea repo as source of truth, declared in the server's config (ConfigMap), rolled out, then verified and connected. A KB that only exists as an ad-hoc runtime mount on an emptyDir is not durable.

WARNING — data loss risk. A KB mounted on an emptyDir volume that is not declared in the Deployment's ConfigMap (kbs: entry + remote:) dies with the pod: on the next reschedule / rollout the directory is recreated empty and every concept written to it is gone. The ConfigMap + Gitea repo declaration is what makes the KB persistent and reconstructible — the server clones it fresh on every pod start (deployment.md §Bootstrapping a KB from a git remote).

Local/native-service topology. On a single machine served by the local service, the equivalent one-liner is cartographer kb create <name> --remote <url>: it scaffolds the KB and pushes it to the empty repository (or one holding only a forge's initial commit, which is kept: README/LICENSE/.gitignore) that becomes its origin (the remote is mandatory there too, D134). A token with rw scope on the KB can write its instructions, templates and skills: there is no setting to turn on. This skill remains the procedure for the GitOps/Kubernetes topology below, where the KB also has to be declared in the server's ConfigMap.

Reference Files

Two tasks have a full procedure of their own. Read only the file that matches what you are doing — not all of them upfront.

Task File
Put a skill, subagent, hook, MCP descriptor or instructions block into the KB references/artifacts.md
Store an encrypted value the KB can resolve (age key, .sops.yaml, Service concept, secret_refs) references/secrets.md

Steps

1. Create the Gitea repo and the per-KB service user

Create an empty repo <nome>.git on Gitea (for the CLI path kb create also accepts a forge's initial README/LICENSE commit). The KB name is the name: field of its kbs: entry (D53) — set it explicitly; if omitted it falls back to the repo basename. The name is used everywhere downstream: token scopes (kb:<nome>:rw/kb:<nome>:r), the ?kb=<nome> query param on multi-KB HTTP, and the <nome>.token/<nome>.age per-KB file conventions below. Choose it accordingly (kebab-case).

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.

cartographer-kb-create is a skill published in the GitHub repository BeppeTemp/cartographer (45 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 53 tokens to every session and 3,585 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-10-23.
