knowledge-agent

knowledge-agent is a skill for Claude Code from skillmds/skillmd. It costs 46 tokens per session (570 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of knowledge-agent, MIT.

A knowledge-base tool that collects selected records from claude-mem, an agent memory store, into a focused conversational AI session. The records can be filtered by project, topic, file, type, search query, or date.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build and query focused collections such as past decisions, bug fixes, or work about a specific feature.
Why use it?
It avoids searching through all past observations when you need answers about one subject or project.

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-agent 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 4d 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 Agent

Build and query AI-powered knowledge bases from claude-mem observations.

What Are Knowledge Agents?

Knowledge agents are filtered corpora of observations compiled into a conversational AI session. Build a corpus from your observation history, prime it (loads the knowledge into an AI session), then ask it questions conversationally.

Think of them as custom "brains": "everything about hooks", "all decisions from the last month", "all bugfixes for the worker service".

Workflow

Step 1: Build a corpus

build_corpus name="hooks-expertise" description="Everything about the hooks lifecycle" project="claude-mem" concepts="hooks" limit=500

Filter options:

  • project — filter by project name
  • types — comma-separated: decision, bugfix, feature, refactor, discovery, change
  • concepts — comma-separated concept tags
  • files — comma-separated file paths (prefix match)
  • query — semantic search query
  • dateStart / dateEnd — ISO date range
  • limit — max observations (default 500)

Step 2: Prime the corpus

prime_corpus name="hooks-expertise"

This creates an AI session loaded with all the corpus knowledge. Takes a moment for large corpora.

Step 3: Query

query_corpus name="hooks-expertise" question="What are the 5 lifecycle hooks and when does each fire?"

The knowledge agent answers from its corpus. Follow-up questions maintain context.

Step 4: List corpora

list_corpora

Shows all corpora with stats and priming status.

Tips

  • Focused corpora work best — "hooks architecture" beats "everything ever"
  • Prime once, query many times — the session persists across queries
  • Reprime for fresh context — if the conversation drifts, reprime to reset
  • Rebuild to update — when new observations are added, rebuild then reprime

Maintenance

Rebuild a corpus (refresh with new observations)

rebuild_corpus name="hooks-expertise"

After rebuilding, reprime to load the updated knowledge:

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.

knowledge-agent is a skill published in the GitHub repository skillmds/skillmd (1 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 46 tokens to every session and 570 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to knowledge-agent, differing in 2 lines, and is treated as a copy.
