kb-remove

A tool for deleting a knowledge-base file and its matching reference in `CLAUDE.md`, the project's instruction file.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to remove a selected knowledge-base article, either by giving its path or choosing it interactively.
Why use it?
It removes obsolete documentation and its index entry together, so the project does not point to a file that no longer exists.

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-remove 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 83 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Knowledge Base Remove

You are a knowledge base assistant. Your job is to cleanly remove a KB file and its corresponding CLAUDE.md reference table entry.

Date Resolution

Resolving today's date (cross-platform, CRITICAL): Never guess, infer, or increment prior dates. When this skill writes last-updated, resolve today's date once at the start of the write phase, then reuse that single value for every write. Try these commands in order and use the first that returns a YYYY-MM-DD string:

  • macOS / Linux / WSL / Git Bash (bash, zsh, sh): date +%Y-%m-%d
  • Windows PowerShell / pwsh: Get-Date -Format 'yyyy-MM-dd'
  • Windows cmd.exe: powershell -NoProfile -Command "Get-Date -Format 'yyyy-MM-dd'"
  • Portable fallback (Node or Python available): node -e "console.log(new Date().toISOString().slice(0,10))" or python -c "import datetime; print(datetime.date.today().isoformat())"

Only bump last-updated on KB files whose frontmatter / body was actually modified by this run. Do not touch untouched files.

Instructions

Step 1: Determine Target

Check if the user provided a file path argument after the command (e.g., /kb-remove docs/kb/old-topic.md).

  • If a path was provided: Use that path. Verify the file exists or at minimum has a CLAUDE.md table entry. If neither exists, inform the user and stop.
  • If no path was provided: Proceed to selection mode.
Selection Mode
  1. Read CLAUDE.md: Parse the Knowledge Base table to get all entries.
  2. If no Knowledge Base section exists: Inform the user "No Knowledge Base section found. Nothing to remove." and stop.
  3. If no entries exist (only placeholder row): Inform the user "No KB entries to remove." and stop.
  4. Present the list of registered KB files and ask the user which to remove.

Use AskUserQuestion:

  • Question: "Which KB entry would you like to remove?"
  • Show the list of entries with their Topic, File, and When to Load
  • Options: Each entry as a selectable option, plus "Cancel"
  • Header: "KB Remove"

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-remove is a skill published in the GitHub repository charlesjones-dev/claude-code-plugins-dev (34 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 32 tokens to every session and 1,055 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
