knowledge-base

knowledge-base is a skill for Claude Code from Open-Curiosity/gini-agent. It costs 119 tokens per session (2,397 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A private company wiki made from linked Markdown notes stored in the workspace. Markdown is plain text with simple formatting, and wiki links connect related notes so information can be reused and cross-referenced.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to start or organise a knowledge base, add information from documents or web pages, answer questions from the stored notes, and check for broken links or orphaned pages.
Why use it?
It gives the team a lasting, searchable place for knowledge instead of leaving important source material buried in chat. It can also reveal missing or disconnected notes.

About the project

Gini Agent is a personal AI-agent runtime that manages conversations, runs, tasks, approvals, memory, skills, jobs, tools, traces, audit events, and runtime health across its clients. It is for an agent that can remember, learn from task outcomes, and operate through desktop or mobile interfaces with user controls. Catalogue add-ons extend the runtime with skills and instructions.

    Skill modifies its own code, configuration, or behavior at runtime. Self-modification enables an agent to escalate privileges, disable safety constraints, or install persistent backdoors.
    Fix: Prevent the skill from modifying its own code, SKILL.md, or configuration files. Treat skill files as read-only at runtime.

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 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/__tests__/lint.test.ts, scripts/lint.ts), 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 197 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Knowledge Base (Wiki)

You maintain a compounding knowledge base: a wiki of interlinked markdown notes that lives in the workspace. Unlike a chat that forgets, the wiki is written once and kept correct — every new source is folded into existing pages and cross-referenced, so the knowledge graph gets denser over time. The files are plain markdown with [[wikilinks]], so the user can also open them in Obsidian or any editor.

When to use

  • "Set up a knowledge base / wiki", "start a company wiki", "organize my notes".
  • "Add this to the wiki", "ingest this article/doc/page", "remember this for the team".
  • A question that the wiki should answer ("what do we know about X?").
  • "Audit / lint / health-check the wiki", "find broken links / orphans".

When NOT to use

  • One-off facts about the user or your own behavior → that's memory (retain), not the wiki.
  • Throwaway scratch work, or content the user doesn't want kept.

Layout

The wiki lives under wiki/ in the workspace (use an existing root such as knowledge-base/ if one is already there). Structure:

wiki/
├── SCHEMA.md     # the domain, conventions, and tag taxonomy — defined once
├── index.md      # catalog of every page, grouped by type, each with a one-line summary
├── log.md        # append-only action log (newest entries at the bottom)
├── raw/          # captured sources, IMMUTABLE — you read these, never edit them
│   ├── articles/
│   ├── docs/
│   └── transcripts/
└── pages/        # the wiki pages (one entity/concept/comparison/query each)

Page filenames are lowercase, hyphenated slugs, no spaces: acme-robotics.md, atlas-robot.md. A [[Display Name]] link resolves to the page whose slug equals the slugified display name, so [[Acme Robotics]] and [[acme-robotics]] both point at pages/acme-robotics.md.

Reading the wiki

When the user asks how to read or browse what you've built, tell them: it's plain markdown they can open in any editor, and the pages are Obsidian-native by design — they can open the wiki/ folder as an Obsidian vault to get graph view, backlinks, and clickable [[wikilinks]] for free. (The files live in the workspace, so point the vault at the workspace wiki/ folder.)

Files

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
