kg-builder

kg-builder is a skill for Claude Code from Mathews-Tom/armory. It costs 100 tokens per session (2,450 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A system for building knowledge graphs: structured records of entities, relationships, and events extracted from documents. It covers the design, checking, deduplication, source tracking, and querying of that graph.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define an ontology—the types of things and relationships in the domain—extract and validate information, combine duplicate entities, preserve source history, and support GraphRAG searches.
Why use it?
It provides an organized way to connect facts from many documents while recording where each fact came from. This helps avoid treating an unstructured collection of extracted statements as reliable knowledge.

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

kg-builder 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/blocking_report.py, scripts/validate_ontology.py), 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.

KG Builder

A knowledge graph is a product with a schema, not a pile of triples. Quality comes from pipeline order: model the domain before extracting, validate during extraction, fuse before storing, and attach provenance to every fact from the first write.

This skill covers the full build — value test, ontology, extraction, quality gate, entity resolution, serving, and maintenance — plus the boundary question that decides whether the result is trustworthy: which stages are deterministic code and which are LLM judgment.

Scope note. This is about knowledge graphs — what an agent remembers. It is not about task graphs, agent orchestration, or multi-agent topology.

The deterministic / LLM boundary

Decide this before writing code. Code owns control flow, identity, validation, and merges. The model gets contained judgments behind a typed interface, each with a measured baseline.

Stage Deterministic (code) LLM judgment (measure it)
Source routing format detection, structured mapping —
Entity extraction span capture, type validation, dictionary matching "what entities are in this text"
Relation extraction domain/range enforcement, endpoint checks "which relation does this sentence assert"
Quality gate sampling, scoring, thresholds —
Blocking key generation, candidate pairing —
Matching string/attribute/structure scoring ambiguous middle band only
Merge canonical selection, edge union, lineage — (never let a model own a merge)
Serving traversal, subgraph selection, serialization the agent's own reasoning

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.

kg-builder is a skill published in the GitHub repository Mathews-Tom/armory (337 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 100 tokens to every session and 2,450 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-30.
