canary-company-knowledge

canary-company-knowledge is a skill for Claude Code from bop-clocktower/canary. It costs 135 tokens per session (2,426 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A setup helper that creates `.canary/company.json`, a small file of pointers to your organisation’s internal tools and documentation. It tells Canary where to look without copying private company content into the project.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when setting up Canary for a team, adding internal documentation or tool locations, or fixing a “no company knowledge configured” message.
Why use it?
Without these pointers, Canary’s CI and failure checks can only give generic advice about internal systems. This fills in the missing configuration while keeping secrets and private content out of the repository.

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

canary-company-knowledge 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 12d 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 — 197 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Canary: Company Knowledge Init

Wraps canary company-knowledge init to scaffold .canary/company.json — the pointers-only file that lets Canary skills reach into your org's internal tooling (Confluence, Jira, internal docs, MCP servers, a user catalog) without ever committing proprietary content to this open-core repo.

This file is silently assumed to exist by canary-ci-ready (user-catalog investigation for auth/config failures) and canary-failure-impact (same). If neither has ever been run with a populated company.json, both degrade to a generic "check your user catalog if you have one" message. This skill closes that gap.

When to Use

  • First-time setup for a new project or team — "we need to configure company knowledge for canary"
  • canary-ci-ready or canary-failure-impact fell back to the generic user-catalog message and the user wants real investigation instead
  • canary company-knowledge show reports "No company knowledge configured"
  • Re-running setup to add a field that was skipped the first time (safe — init merges onto existing values by default)
  • NOT for storing secrets, API keys, or tokens — this file holds pointers only; the CLI's secret heuristic (_looks_like_secret) rejects sk-/token/bearer-shaped values and anything over 128 chars outside notes
  • NOT for company-specific proprietary content (client names, internal runbooks, populated data) — per this repo's open-core boundary (AGENTS.md), that lives only in a private overlay under .canary/skills/ or the org's own tooling, reached via the pointers this file stores

What This Skill Cannot Automate

Every field in .canary/company.json is org-specific and cannot be reliably inferred from the codebase alone — this repo is public/open-core by design, so nothing in it names a real company, Jira project, or internal host. Don't claim otherwise. What this skill can do:

  • Scaffold the file and .gitignore entry so it exists and is never accidentally committed
  • Prompt for each field with the exact validation format the CLI expects, so the user isn't guessing at schema
  • Detect when a value looks like a secret and refuse it before it reaches disk
  • Merge onto existing values, so re-running is always safe

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.
