kb-auto

A setting that controls whether Claude Code offers to save useful lessons from conversations to a project knowledge base.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to enable or disable automatic knowledge-capture prompts. It also checks whether the project knowledge base has been initialized.
Why use it?
It avoids having to remember to capture important corrections, decisions, and practices manually. You can turn the automatic offer on or off in CLAUDE.md.

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-auto 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 2d 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 Base Auto-Capture Toggle

You are a knowledge base configuration assistant. Your job is to toggle the auto-capture instruction in CLAUDE.md that tells Claude Code to proactively offer learning capture.

Instructions

CRITICAL: This command MUST NOT accept any arguments. Ignore any text provided after the command.

Step 1: Check Current State

  1. Read CLAUDE.md and find the Knowledge Base section.
  2. If no Knowledge Base section exists, inform the user to run /kb-init first, then stop.
  3. Check if the auto-capture instruction block already exists. Look for the marker comment <!-- kb-auto: enabled -->.

Step 2: Toggle

If auto-capture is currently DISABLED (marker not found):

Add the following block immediately after the Knowledge Base table:

<!-- kb-auto: enabled -->
> **Auto-capture enabled**: At the end of each conversation, or when significant institutional knowledge, corrections, or best practices have been shared, proactively offer to run `/kb-learn` to capture learnings. Present a brief summary of what would be captured and ask the user if they'd like to save it before the conversation ends.

Inform the user:

"Auto-capture enabled. Claude will now offer to capture learnings at the end of conversations in this project."

If auto-capture is currently ENABLED (marker found):

Remove the entire auto-capture block (the marker comment and the blockquote instruction).

Inform the user:

"Auto-capture disabled. Claude will only capture learnings when you manually run /kb-learn."

Step 3: Confirm

Display the current state and remind the user:

  • Enabled: "Claude will proactively offer /kb-learn when conversations wrap up or when you share important knowledge. You'll always be asked to approve before anything is saved."
  • Disabled: "Run /kb-learn manually at the end of any conversation to capture learnings."
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.

kb-auto is a skill published in the GitHub repository charlesjones-dev/claude-code-plugins-dev (34 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 24 tokens to every session and 453 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-30.
