kb-visualize

A renderer that turns a knowledge bundle into an interactive graph of its concepts and links. A knowledge bundle is a structured set of linked Markdown notes, and the graph can show clusters, central concepts, and isolated notes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to visualize an entire knowledge bundle or a selected concept and its neighbors. It can produce a native interactive view where supported, or a self-contained HTML file.
Why use it?
A folder of linked notes can be difficult to understand as a whole. The graph makes relationships and gaps visible without manually tracing every link.

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-visualize 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/graph.mjs), 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 — 84 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

kb-visualize — see the bundle as a graph

Render a bundle as an interactive force-directed graph of its concepts, so a human can see its shape — hubs, clusters, orphans, and how concepts connect. You author the view from a deterministic graph model, so it can adapt to the request (a whole-bundle map, or a subgraph around one concept); it is not a fixed template.

1. Extract the graph model

Run the bundled extractor against the target bundle (default knowledge/). It is a zero-dependency Node script (node >=18); <skill-dir> is this skill's directory — ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR} under Claude Code, or whatever path your host exposes for the skill:

node "<skill-dir>/scripts/graph.mjs" <bundle-dir>

It prints JSON: nodes (including id, display metadata, status, generated, verified, derived trust_tier, stale_after, derived is_stale, structured sources, attestation metadata, body, links, and cited_by), the distinct types, and edges. Backlinks (cited_by) and edges are already computed from the cross-links in concept bodies. If the user scoped the request to one concept/area, filter the model to that node plus its neighbors.

The renderer MUST consume the model produced by this extractor invocation. Do not reuse a previous run's cached graph JSON or a generator hard-coded to another cache filename. If the host requires scratch files, overwrite one explicit model path, pass that same path to the renderer, and remove it after verification.

Completion criterion: you have the graph model, and (if scoped) filtered it to the requested subgraph.

2. Choose the output form by host capability

  • Host renders interactive UI (e.g. Claude Desktop, Codex Desktop, an MCP-Apps host): render the graph as native UI so it's live in the conversation.
  • Host is text/artifact only (e.g. Claude Code, a terminal): write a self-contained HTML file (single file, no backend, CDN libs only) next to the bundle or as an artifact, and give the user the path.

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-visualize is a skill published in the GitHub repository stjbrown/agent-knowledge (32 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 29 tokens to every session and 1,052 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
