l3-sync

A file watcher that keeps a Markdown knowledge base's search index up to date. It detects changed files and triggers incremental RAG indexing, meaning it updates only the changed information for later search.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it with directories of Markdown files, such as an Obsidian vault, to run one-time updates or a background watcher that batches changes and refreshes the index.
Why use it?
It removes the need to remember to rebuild the search index after editing notes, so searches are less likely to use stale content.

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

l3-sync 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/index_watcher.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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

l3-sync — L3 知识库自动索引

监控 Markdown 知识库目录的文件变更,自动触发增量 RAG 索引更新。

适用场景

  • Obsidian 编辑后自动更新搜索索引
  • 知识库目录有变更时自动增量索引
  • 后台守护进程持续监听

工作原理

文件系统变更(inotify / 轮询)
  → 防抖(5s 窗口批量合并变更)
  → knowledge_index.py --update <目录>
  → 观测日志写入 skill-observability

使用方法

单次增量索引(手动触发)

# 读取配置,对所有 l3_paths 做一次增量索引
python3 ~/.ai-skills/l3-sync/scripts/index_watcher.py --once

启动后台监听(推荐)

# 前台运行(调试用)
python3 ~/.ai-skills/l3-sync/scripts/index_watcher.py --watch

# 后台运行
nohup python3 ~/.ai-skills/l3-sync/scripts/index_watcher.py --watch &

用 systemd 管理(生产环境)

# 安装 systemd user service
bash ~/.ai-skills/l3-sync/scripts/install_service.sh

# 管理
systemctl --user start l3-sync
systemctl --user status l3-sync
systemctl --user stop l3-sync

配置

监听路径从 ~/.ai-memory/config.jsonl3_paths 字段读取:

{
  "l3_paths": [
    "/mnt/e/Cloud927/.../20_Knowledge_Base"
  ]
}

与其他 Skill 的关系

  • knowledge-search — 搜索已索引的 L3。l3-sync 确保索引是最新的。
  • knowledge_index.py — 索引引擎。l3-sync 是它的触发器。
  • conversation-distiller — 对话 → L3 文档。写入后 l3-sync 自动增量索引。

依赖

  • RAG 引擎已安装(bash install.sh --with-rag
  • Linux inotify 支持(WSL 有;纯轮询模式也支持,但延迟更高)
Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

l3-sync is a skill published in the GitHub repository cloud99277/KitClaw (5 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 90 tokens to every session and 627 once invoked, about $0.0005 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 2026-08-31.
