kb

A hub for managing OKF knowledge bundles, which are structured, portable collections of project notes for coding agents and wikis. It defines shared terms and sends tasks to the appropriate bundle tool.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when working with a repository's knowledge folder or when creating and maintaining project memory. It routes requests to tools such as bundle setup, source ingestion, documentation, queries, linting, and graph views.
Why use it?
It gives related knowledge tasks one consistent entry point and keeps their rules aligned. It also explains which tool to use for starting, importing, documenting, querying, checking, or visualizing a bundle.

Made for: Claude Code, Codex.

Per session 82 Skills are progressive disclosure: only the name and description are preloaded; the body loads when the skill is used.
When invoked 846 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
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 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 2d 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 — 65 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

kb — bundles

Hub for the kb-* family: vocabulary, shared reference, routing. Knowledge compounds — compiled once, kept current, not re-derived per query. Does not modify a bundle — routes to the skill that does.

Key terms

references/glossary.md defines the vocabulary. Minimum before routing: Bundle, Ingest, Progressive disclosure, Trust model (see trust-model.md).

The one hard rule

A bundle is conformant iff every non-reserved .md file has parseable YAML frontmatter with a non-empty type. Everything else is soft guidance — consumers MUST tolerate missing optional fields, unknown types, and broken links. Never reject a bundle over them. Full rules: references/SPEC.md §11.

The domain portion of spec/types.md is a living, producer-chosen vocabulary, not a validation enum. Keep the workflow conventions Reference and Spec Section; start the domain types small and evolve them through kb-ingest or kb-document when the domain reveals a durable new kind of entity. Use kb-lint to detect schema drift.

Route to the right skill

The user wants to… Use
Start a new bundle kb-init
Capture, ingest, file, or process a source (note, transcript, PDF, image, URL) kb-ingest
Document a repository, explain its architecture/workflows, or refresh knowledge after code changes kb-document
Ask what the bundle knows; look something up; explore connections kb-query
Health-check the bundle (drift, orphans, contradictions, conformance) kb-lint
See the bundle as a graph kb-visualize

If a knowledge/ bundle exists and would inform the current task, consult it via kb-query before answering from scratch — even when the user didn't ask an explicit knowledge question.

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.

kb is a skill published in the GitHub repository stjbrown/agent-knowledge (32 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 82 tokens to every session and 846 once invoked, about $0.0004 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.
