knowledge-base-management

A guide for organizing a knowledge base: a collection of reusable notes and sources, with indexes, topic maps, naming rules, and archive recommendations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to register sources, update indexes and topic maps, connect case notes to reusable knowledge, and plan naming, folder, or archive changes.
Why use it?
It helps people find where information came from and keep the workspace organized as new material arrives. It separates recommendations to archive or delete files from actually carrying them out.

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

knowledge-base-management 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.

What it actually says

knowledge-base-management

Purpose

Organize reusable knowledge while keeping sources, naming, and archive decisions traceable.

When to Use

  • Updating inbox, source register, index, or topic map documents.
  • Planning naming conventions, folder organization, and archive recommendations.
  • Connecting new case material to reusable knowledge.

Inputs

  • Workspace structure and project instructions.
  • Source files or incoming notes.
  • Naming, indexing, or archive objective.

Outputs

  • Index update plan.
  • Source register entries.
  • Topic map changes.
  • Archive or naming recommendations with rationale.

Workflow

  • Inspect project rules before changing structure.
  • Register sources before turning them into reusable knowledge.
  • Keep archive/delete recommendations separate from execution.
  • Use guarded file operations for any write, move, rename, mkdir, or delete.

Verification

  • Confirm every index entry points to an existing source.
  • Confirm naming follows workspace rules.
  • Confirm archive/delete actions have dry-run or approval evidence.

Risks / Limits

  • Poor source registration reduces traceability.
  • File moves and deletes are high risk and require guarded action.
  • Do not collapse distinct source meanings during summarization.

Forbidden Actions

  • Do not delete, move, or rename without guarded tools.
  • Do not touch protected paths.
  • Do not invent source metadata.

Example Task

Add a new supplier report to the source register and propose topic map updates.

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.
