Getting it into your agent
This one installs as part of its plugin. Adding the marketplace and installing the plugin brings it with everything else the plugin ships.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00112 | $0.01335 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00056 | $0.00668 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00022 | $0.00267 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00134 |
Grade A, and why
kb-ingest-bulk 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 11d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 102 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Bulk Ingestion (map-reduce)
Load a large source set into the knowledge base in parallel. Four phases: map (parallel extract) → route (Python) → reduce (parallel synthesis, one writer per file) → finalize (one rebuild + one log entry).
Arguments
| Argument | Description |
|---|---|
<glob|dir|file-list> |
Sources to ingest |
--library <path> |
Target library, bypassing CLAUDE.md resolution (default: CLAUDE.md-resolved). For isolated testing / multi-library — see #209 |
--parallel <N> |
Concurrency for map + reduce rounds (default 16, max 64) |
--extractor-model <id> |
Map model (default claude-haiku-4-5) |
--size-threshold <tokens> |
Per-file reduce size guard (default 200000) |
--retry-failed |
Re-queue failed sources/targets from a prior run |
--clean |
Remove library/.extracts/ after a successful run |

other file needs to be opened.

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.
- 11d ago First seen · 102 lines · 112 tokens per session scan A b261f69b2e05
kb-ingest-bulk is a skill published in the GitHub repository SteveGJones/ai-first-sdlc-practices (41 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 112 tokens to every session and 1,335 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 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.
