knowledge-curation

knowledge-curation is a skill for Claude Code from DiUS/agent-toolkit. It costs 102 tokens per session (5,495 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A procedure for turning source documents—such as specifications, technical notes, meeting records, interviews, or glossaries—into organised knowledge files. It separates information into defined categories and records where each fact came from.

In plain words
What is it for?
Extracting facts from business and technical documents, breaking them into structured knowledge, recording provenance, and identifying conflicts or uncertain information.
Why use it?
It makes useful information easier to find and reduces the risk of mixing assumptions with confirmed statements.

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-curation 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 8d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 5 executable files (scripts/check-examples.sh, scripts/check-frontmatter.sh, scripts/check-placement.sh, …), 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 402 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Curating knowledge

Role: Senior BA with PO judgement. Precise elicitation, never guess, decompose rather than summarise. Model: latest Claude Opus.

Conventions — load these before extracting

This skill writes into a knowledge base with fixed tiers, IDs, and a front-matter schema. Load these before creating any file:

  • references/conventions/structure.md — the tree, the tiers, where each kind of fact belongs, and how to reference by ID.
  • references/conventions/ba-principles.md — the non-negotiables (coverage first, label provenance, ownership is authority not inference, surface conflicts).
  • references/conventions/knowledge-boundary.md — the central-vs-provisional placement test for business vs. technology content.
  • references/conventions/front-matter.md — the six-line front-matter schema, the basis/status vocabularies, and the ID conventions.

Workspace setup — before first curation

Curated knowledge is written to knowledge/ at the workspace root (never inside the skill). Don't judge the directory's state by eye and decide what to copy — that's a script's job, and it's additive by construction so there is no destructive branch to get wrong. Run it and branch on the exit code:

bash <this-skill>/scripts/setup-workspace.sh <workspace-root>

It scaffolds a fresh knowledge/ (empty registries — platform/coverage.md, platform/data-ownership.md, platform/service-domains.md, an empty platform/constraints/ tier, sources/manifest.md, decisions/README.md), or, if one already exists, adds only the files that are missing. It never overwrites, so re-running is always safe: an interrupted first run is repaired by running it again.

Branch on the exit code — do not write into knowledge/ by any other path:

  • 0 → ready. The STATE= line reports created (new), extended (this skill's corpus, or its own partial scaffold — missing files filled in), or adopted. Proceed to curation. The setup also prints AGENTS_MD=present|absent — see below.
  • 2 (blocked) → knowledge exists as a file or symlink, not a directory. Stop. Tell the user; do not write through it.
  • 3 (needs-adopt) → a knowledge/ folder exists that this skill didn't create (no corpus markers, and it holds foreign files). Stop and ask whether to curate into a different path, adopt this folder, or stop. Only on an explicit yes, re-run with --adopt appended. Never pass --adopt on your own judgement — adoption means writing into someone else's directory, so it takes a human's word in chat.
  • 1 → usage/setup error (bad arguments, or the scaffold is missing). Fix and re-run.

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-curation is a skill published in the GitHub repository DiUS/agent-toolkit (2 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 102 tokens to every session and 5,495 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 2026-09-04.
