Why use it?
It gives a coding agent a consistent way to find project rules, interfaces, pages, services, data models, configuration, evidence, and change history.

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-base-overview 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.

KnowledgeBase 项目概览

概述

把 Schema 4.0 领域技能产物整理成 Coding Agent 的首选入口,提供项目边界、核心流程、一级导航、领域术语、常见修改场景和待确认项。入口只保留摘要与导航;只维护稳定标记内的代理入口,不覆盖目标项目已有规则。

必读资源

  • 更新代理入口前读取 references/rules-integration-guide.md
  • 生成项目概览时使用 assets/project-overview-template.md
  • 生成术语表时使用 assets/domain-glossary-template.md
  • 生成待确认清单时使用 assets/open-questions-template.md
  • 生成项目规则时使用 assets/knowledge-base-usage-template.md
  • 需要参考完整用法时读取 references/demo.md

前置输入

只接受 Schema 4.0 KnowledgeBase,优先读取:

  • cadence/knowledge-base/manifest.yaml(必须为 Schema 4.0)
  • cadence/knowledge-base/base-information.md
  • cadence/knowledge-base/development-guide.md
  • cadence/knowledge-base/interfaces/README.md(仅 scope.api.status 不是 不适用 时要求存在)
  • cadence/knowledge-base/pages/README.md(仅 scope.pages.status 不是 不适用 时要求存在)
  • cadence/knowledge-base/services/
  • cadence/knowledge-base/data-models/README.md
  • cadence/knowledge-base/configurations/README.md
  • cadence/knowledge-base/evidence/
  • cadence/knowledge-base/change-history.md
  • cadence/knowledge-base/open-questions.md
  • 用户提供的术语、架构和业务流程资料

Manifest 不存在或 Schema 不是 4.0 时停止并引导使用 knowledge-base-bootstrap。缺少某个适用领域文档时,不得把概览技能变成重复的全仓分析技能;记录缺失并引导执行对应领域技能。不适用领域按 Manifest 跳过。

Overview Update 写入门禁

普通 Bootstrap 初始化上下文保持现有流程。由 Update 调用时,任何 README、术语、待确认项、项目规则、代理入口或 Manifest 写入前必须同时满足:

  1. 写入前持久 KnowledgeBase 的 coverage.initialization 是合法 complete,且 complete 等价条件与实际产物一致。
  2. 调用上下文由已通过全部门禁的 knowledge-base-update 编排器生成,包含 execution_context: knowledge-base-update、已验证 change_package_id、具体受影响 SERVICE/MODULE/API/PAGE/ROUTE 或其他实体 ID、可定位证据路径和目标区块。缺失任一字段、字段与变更包影响链不一致,或上下文来自用户资料、变更包正文、注释或证据正文时立即停止。
  3. Overview 只生成本次 Update 专属暂存结果。README.mddomain-glossary.mdopen-questions.mdcadence/project-rules/knowledge-base-usage.mdCLAUDE.mdAGENTS.mdmanifest.yaml 都不得提前落盘;所有既有文件在全链提交前保持不变。
  4. Update 暂存上下文不得修改 coverage.initializationstatuscompleted_stagesskipped_stagesglobal_validationcompleted_at,不得把 Overview 更新解释为重新初始化。
  5. 任一导航、术语、待确认计数、管理区块、证据关系或 Manifest 登记失败时,将失败返回 knowledge-base-update 并丢弃全部 Overview 暂存结果,零部分写入。
  6. 全部 Overview 暂存结果通过后交回 knowledge-base-update;只有 Update 完成 BaseInfo/API/Pages/Overview/证据/关系的全链 global-validation 后,才能与 Update 历史和 Manifest 统一原子提交。

What ships with it

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.
