personal_kb: Skill for Claude Code

.github/skills/ingest/SKILL.md

ingest is a skill for Claude Code from haxudev/personal_kb. It costs 33 tokens per session (336 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for turning files placed in an inbox folder into Markdown documents stored in a workmemory folder. It uses a document-conversion tool, keeps the original folder structure, and adds information about each source file and conversion time.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to add new documents to a local knowledge base or refresh existing ones. It can scan the inbox recursively, convert supported files, and optionally force a full refresh.
Why use it?
It turns mixed local source files into a consistent, searchable knowledge-base format. It also continues when one file fails and reports what was converted, skipped, or unsuccessful.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter.

This is haxudev/personal_kb's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on personal_kb itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything personal_kb configures →

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is python scripts/preflight.py.

Reuse

Borrowing it

Nothing to install: this file belongs to haxudev/personal_kb. Take a copy, put it at the same path in your own repository, and replace the rules that are about this project with yours.

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

ingest 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.

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

Skill: ingest

Use this skill when the user wants to add or refresh local knowledge.

Process

  1. Detect the execution environment first:
    • Windows CMD / PowerShell: prefer Windows-style commands
    • macOS / Linux / WSL: use POSIX commands
  2. Run python scripts/preflight.py to verify required dependencies.
  3. Run the ingest script using the environment-appropriate Python launcher.
  4. If the user requests a full refresh, append --force.
  5. Report how many files were converted, skipped, or failed.

Environment-specific command preference

Windows CMD (preferred on Windows)

python scripts\preflight.py
python scripts\ingest.py
python scripts\ingest.py --force

Windows PowerShell

python .\scripts\preflight.py
python .\scripts\ingest.py
python .\scripts\ingest.py --force

macOS / Linux / WSL

python scripts/preflight.py
python scripts/ingest.py
python scripts/ingest.py --force

Expected behavior

  • Scan inbox/ recursively.
  • Convert supported files via markitdown.
  • Preserve relative paths under workmemory/.
  • Add YAML frontmatter containing source_path and ingested_at.
  • Continue past single-file failures and summarize them.
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.

ingest is a skill published in the GitHub repository haxudev/personal_kb (2 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 33 tokens to every session and 336 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
