kb-setup-consulting

kb-setup-consulting is a skill for Claude Code from SteveGJones/ai-first-sdlc-practices. It costs 85 tokens per session (1,787 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An onboarding workflow for connecting external knowledge libraries to a consulting project. It discovers and validates libraries, activates the selected ones, runs a test, and reports whether the setup is ready.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when starting a project or helping a consultant connect existing libraries. A verification-only mode checks the current setup without changing it.
Why use it?
Connecting shared research libraries often involves several registry and project-configuration steps. This workflow checks those pieces together and points out setup problems.

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

kb-setup-consulting 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.

Cross-Library KB Onboarding

Walk a new consultant or a fresh project through KB cross-library setup. Replaces the hand-walked sequence of "discover ~/.sdlc/global-libraries.json, get paths from someone, run kb-register-library or hand-edit, test it manually" with a single skill.

Modes

  • Default — full interactive setup (discover → add → validate → activate → smoke-test → report)
  • --dry-run — go through discovery + validation but don't write to .sdlc/libraries.json or modify any files
  • --verify-only — skip prompting; just validate existing registry + activation and report status (covers Task 23 functionality)

Steps

Preflight: verify scripts package importable

python3 -c "
import sys, os, importlib.util
PLUGIN_ROOT = os.environ.get('CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT', '')
SCRIPTS = os.path.join(PLUGIN_ROOT, 'scripts')
INIT = os.path.join(SCRIPTS, '__init__.py')
if os.path.isfile(INIT) and 'sdlc_knowledge_base_scripts' not in sys.modules:
    spec = importlib.util.spec_from_file_location(
        'sdlc_knowledge_base_scripts',
        INIT,
        submodule_search_locations=[SCRIPTS],
    )
    if spec and spec.loader:
        module = importlib.util.module_from_spec(spec)
        sys.modules['sdlc_knowledge_base_scripts'] = module
        spec.loader.exec_module(module)
try:
    import sdlc_knowledge_base_scripts.registry
    print('OK')
except ImportError:
    print('MISSING')
"

If MISSING, see kb-query for fallback options.
