make-kb

make-kb is a skill for Claude Code from context4ai/workflow. It costs 43 tokens per session (4,211 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A process for turning existing documents or code into a structured knowledge graph, which maps concepts and their relationships. Each part records the source file it came from.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to document software architecture, APIs, business processes, policies, research notes, or code symbols from existing materials.
Why use it?
It organizes existing information into a traceable current-state model instead of making developers search through scattered documents or code.

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

make-kb 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 1mo 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 — 414 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/make-kb - Knowledge Base Generation (Source-Traced Graph)

Extract structured knowledge graphs from existing materials — documents, code, or both — with <!-- source: path --> traceability on every Node.

Difference from /make-prd and /make-plan:

  • /make-prd designs a PRD forward from requirement descriptions (new features, RFCs)
  • /make-plan designs a Plan forward from a PRD
  • /make-kb works backward from existing artifacts — it reads what already exists and organizes it into a structured graph. The output represents current state, not planned changes

Applicable to both technical and non-technical projects:

  • Technical: codebase architecture, API documentation, system design docs
  • Non-technical: business processes, organizational knowledge, policy documents, research notes, operational runbooks

TL;DR -- Hard Rules

  • Input: File/directory paths + version number (required)
  • Output: <design-dir>/<version>/prd.md (knowledge graph), optionally plan.md (code graph when code is provided)
  • Every Node must have <!-- source: path --> or <!-- source: path#LN --> pointing to the originating file
  • All Nodes default to [existing] — this is a snapshot, not a change plan
  • Do not fabricate source paths — every <!-- source: --> must point to a file the Agent has actually read
  • Code layer is optional — docs-only produces prd.md; adding code produces plan.md with corresponds edges linking the two layers
  • Adapt the graph depth to the material — a small doc may only need domain + a few stories; a large project may need the full three-layer hierarchy

Design Workspace (design-dir)

The default workspace for design documents is design/. When the Agent starts, check:

  1. design/ directory exists -> use design/ as <design-dir>
  2. design/ does not exist -> pause and ask the user for the design workspace path, explaining the accepted directory structure:
    <design-dir>/<version>/(prd|plan).md
    Examples: design/v1.0.1/prd.md, design/v0.5.0/plan.md

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.
