knowledge-base-update

knowledge-base-update is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from omergocmen/vibe-coder-kit. It costs 75 tokens per session (1,009 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill for recording important project knowledge in structured files for future agents. It covers decisions, coding conventions, bug causes and fixes, third-party service quirks, and research findings.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after making an architectural decision, fixing a non-obvious bug, discovering an API limitation, establishing a project convention, or completing substantial research.
Why use it?
It prevents useful discoveries from being lost or researched again later. Entries are stored in the project's knowledge base and updated when the topic already exists.

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-update 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.

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.

Knowledge Base Update Skill

When to Trigger

Activate this skill when any of the following occur:

  • An architectural or tech-stack decision is made (and the why matters)
  • A non-obvious bug is fixed (root cause + fix documented)
  • A 3rd-party service/API has a quirk, limit, or gotcha discovered
  • A project convention is established (naming, folder structure, patterns)
  • A research question is answered after significant investigation
  • A "we tried X and it failed because Y" moment happens

Step-by-Step Process

1. Identify the Entry Type

Choose the category that best describes what was learned:

Type When to Use
decision Architecture, tech choices, trade-offs
convention Naming rules, code patterns, folder structures
bug Root cause + fix for a non-obvious problem
gotcha 3rd-party quirk, env issue, edge case trap
research Answer to a question requiring significant investigation

2. Determine the File Path

Write to: .agent/knowledge/<slug>.md

  • slug = kebab-case summary of the topic (e.g., auth-token-refresh-strategy)
  • If an entry for this topic already exists, update it rather than creating a new file
  • Group related topics under subfolders: .agent/knowledge/auth/, .agent/knowledge/infra/, etc.

3. Write the Entry

Use this exact template:

---
type: <decision|convention|bug|gotcha|research>
topic: <Short human-readable title>
date: <YYYY-MM-DD>
tags: [<tag1>, <tag2>]
---

## Summary
<One or two sentences — what was learned, bottom line up front>

## Context
<Why this came up. What problem were we solving?>

## Decision / Finding
<The actual content. Be specific. Include code snippets if helpful.>

## Rationale
<Why this choice over alternatives. What alternatives were rejected and why.>

## Consequences
<What does this affect going forward? What to watch out for?>

## References
- <File path, PR link, conversation snippet, or external URL>
