knowledge-run

knowledge-run is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from cogni-work/insight-wave. It costs 194 tokens per session (8,291 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A one-command coordinator for researching one new topic through a series of planned steps, from breaking down the question to saving a finished summary in a knowledge wiki.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to run a complete topic-research workflow that plans questions, selects and fetches sources, builds notes, writes a synthesis, checks its claims, and finalizes it.
Why use it?
It removes the need to start each research step manually and pass the right project information between them.

Installs and runs on its own, but its text points at files inside its plugin — anything it tells you to read at a ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} path is only there once the plugin is installed. Installing the plugin gets both.

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

knowledge-run 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 4d 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 — 247 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Knowledge Run

Drive the inverted pipeline end-to-end for one fresh topic, in a single invocation. An operator researching a new topic otherwise hand-dispatches ~7 phase skills (knowledge-planknowledge-curateknowledge-fetchknowledge-ingestknowledge-distillknowledge-composeknowledge-verifyknowledge-finalize), re-reading each SKILL.md and threading the project path between them. knowledge-run is the ordered-phase driver over that chain: one --topic, all phases in order, ending with a deposited type: synthesis page in the bound wiki.

This skill is a pure orchestrator — it composes existing cogni-knowledge phase skills via Skill(...), never re-implementing them. It dispatches zero cogni-research skills and runs no vendored wiki-* script directly; ingest fan-out, per-batch merge, and the integrity sweep — plus compose expansion and the accept check — come "for free" because knowledge-ingest and knowledge-compose already encapsulate them.

knowledge-run is the fresh-topic parallel entrypoint to knowledge-refresh --mode push: refresh lints the bound wiki and re-researches stale pages selected interactively; knowledge-run takes a single explicit topic and runs one chain. The Phases-2–7 dispatch block is identical between the two — this skill mirrors that proven loop rather than writing new orchestration, so the two entrypoints cannot drift.

Read ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/delegation-contract.md once per session to remember the delegation boundary and the Skill(...)-dispatch convention (§"How Skill(...) blocks are written").

When to run

  • The user wants to research a brand-new topic into a bound knowledge base without dispatching each phase by hand.
  • The user has a sharp topic and wants the whole plan → finalize chain driven autonomously to a deposited synthesis.

Never run when

  • No binding.json exists at the resolved knowledge root — route to /cogni-knowledge:knowledge-setup.
  • The user wants to refresh stale existing pages rather than research a new topic — that is knowledge-refresh --mode push (it lints the wiki and selects stale topics).
  • The user wants to extend one existing synthesis with a freshly-landed source — that is knowledge-refresh-synthesis.

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.

knowledge-run is a skill published in the GitHub repository cogni-work/insight-wave (12 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 194 tokens to every session and 8,291 once invoked, about $0.0010 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.
