knowledge-ops

knowledge-ops is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Mark393295827/third-brain-v7-skills. It costs 33 tokens per session (1,345 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A method for operating an Obsidian knowledge system as durable Markdown files with separate indexes, search tools, dashboards, and governance queues. It supports organizing, finding, deduplicating, synchronizing, auditing, and promoting knowledge.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to classify notes, remove duplicates, retrieve information, synchronize records, audit a vault, and manage controlled promotion of material into an Agent or Wiki knowledge base.
Why use it?
It keeps the original Markdown notes and their sources authoritative while treating search indexes and other access tools as replaceable. It prevents silent changes to provenance or automatic rewrites based on one signal.

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-ops 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 9d 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 — 115 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Knowledge Operations

<skill_contract> Vault root, operation, scope, canonical-store rules, permissions, destination, and execution budget. Verified classification, retrieval, deduplication, synchronization, audit, or governed promotion changes with receipts. Canonical Markdown remains authoritative, provenance and immutability are preserved, and representative checks pass. <non_goals>Using vectors as canonical storage, silent provenance merges, automatic semantic rewrites, or one-signal rule promotion.</non_goals>

Operate the wiki as durable disk and governance layer. Markdown pages hold understanding and provenance; indexes, memory, vectors, and dashboards are replaceable access paths.

Usage Template

Provide: vault root, operation (organize, deduplicate, retrieve, sync, audit, promote), scope, destination, permissions, and budget. Load references/storage-governance.md only when designing layers or promotion queues.

Workflow

Resolve configured paths and identify the canonical store, immutable sources, active execution truth, optional retrieval indexes, and governance queues. Record file counts, scope, and write authority before mutation.

<unknowns_gate>

If canonical ownership, vault identity, or merge authority is ambiguous, return NEEDS_INPUT. Treat semantic similarity as a review signal, not proof that two notes or sources are equivalent.

</unknowns_gate>

knowledge-ops owns cross-corpus organization, identity reconciliation, retrieval/index state, promotion queues, and knowledge-debt governance. It does not replace wiki-ingest as the owner of a single source-to-candidate transaction, and it does not replace wiki-lint as the read-only health auditor.

  1. Classify: assign each item to execution state, quick memory, durable wiki, optional retrieval index, or governance state.
  2. Search first: exact path/title, wikilinks, canonical URL/source id, and lexical search before semantic retrieval.
  3. Deduplicate: compare source identity, normalized URL, hash when available, claims, and provenance; merge compiled notes only with traceable reasons. Under concurrent writers, stage the candidate, acquire or verify one source identity key, and recheck immediately before and after promotion.
  4. Store: write to the canonical Markdown layer, update indexes/maps, preserve immutable sources, and queue unresolved debt.
  5. Retrieve: return paths and match reasons; load only the top evidence-bearing pages within context budget.
  6. Sync: update optional indexes from canonical files and record indexed, skipped, removed, or failed items.
  7. Verify: read after write, check links/source refs, rerun exact-identity search, and run representative retrieval queries. If a race produced two candidates, keep one canonical source, repoint derived locators, and emit a reconciliation receipt without rewriting prior evidence.
  8. Promote: require two durable supports or one strong source plus local verification, a bounded execution contract, preserved approvals/provenance, and a cheap objective check.

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.
