kb-create

A guided tool for creating knowledge-base entries about reusable solutions, design guidance, or specific bugs and fixes. It asks for the needed information and checks the result for quality and structure.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to document patterns, architectural decisions, best practices, exact error fixes, configuration problems, and other solutions worth reusing.
Why use it?
It helps teams decide whether an entry should document a reusable pattern or a particular error, so useful solutions are recorded consistently.

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-create scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

KB Create Skill

Purpose

Guided pattern and bug creation with interactive prompts, automatic quality validation, and improvement suggestions. Ensures high-quality KB entries that meet institutional knowledge standards.

Decision Tree: Pattern vs Bug

Should I create a PATTERN or BUG entry?

START: Do you have a reusable solution or specific error fix?
  ↓
Is this a specific error with an exact error message?
  → YES: Is the solution configuration/environment-specific?
    → YES: Create BUG entry
    → NO: Could be either - is it reusable across projects?
      → YES: Create PATTERN
      → NO: Create BUG
  → NO: Is this a general solution to a common problem?
    → YES: Create PATTERN
    → NO: Is it a design decision or architectural guidance?
      → YES: Create PATTERN
      → NO: Maybe not KB-worthy - consider documentation instead

Pattern: Reusable solutions, design patterns, best practices, architectural guidance Bug: Specific errors with exact error messages, environment issues, configuration fixes

Pattern Creation Workflow

Step 1: Collect Basic Information

Creating new KB Pattern

Required fields (asterisk = required):

* Title (10-100 characters):
  → Example: "PostgreSQL Connection Pool Optimization"

* Category (select one):
  1. ARCH (Architecture & Design)
  2. DB (Database)
  3. API (API Design)
  4. AUTH (Authentication)
  5. SECURITY (Security)
  6. TEST (Testing)
  7. PERF (Performance)
  8. FRONTEND (Frontend)
  9. INFRA (Infrastructure)
  10. DEPLOY (Deployment)
  11. CACHE (Caching)
  12. MCP (MCP Servers)
  13. CLIENT (Client Integration)
  14. FLOW (Workflows)

  → Your choice (1-14):

* Keywords (min 5, comma-separated):
  → Example: postgresql, connection-pool, optimization, performance, scaling
  → Your keywords:

Step 2: Define Problems Solved

* Problems this pattern solves (min 2, max 10):

  Problem 1:
  → Example: Connection pool exhaustion under high load

  Problem 2:
  → Example: Slow query performance due to connection limits

  Problem 3 (or Enter to continue):
  → Example: Connection timeout errors during peak traffic

  ... (continue until Enter on empty line)

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.
