setup-knowledge-base

An interactive setup workflow for creating a structured knowledge base, an organized collection of information that can later be searched and used to answer questions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when starting a new knowledge base or adding one to a project, with optional import of initial content.
Why use it?
It establishes categories, folders, configuration, and an index before content is imported or queried.

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

setup-knowledge-base 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.

Knowledge Base Setup

Interactive setup that creates a structured, evidence-backed knowledge base in your project.

When to Use

  • Starting a new knowledge base from scratch
  • Adding a KB to an existing project

Step 1: Discover Purpose

Ask the user (one question at a time, use AskUserQuestion):

  1. What is this KB for? (e.g., product documentation, security/compliance, company knowledge, sales enablement, internal policies)
  2. Who will query it? (e.g., you personally, your team, AI agents answering questions)
  3. What categories make sense? Suggest 3-5 based on the domain, let the user adjust.

Example category suggestions by domain:

  • Product docs: technical, integrations, deployment, security, faq
  • Company knowledge: general, policies, processes, teams, faq
  • Sales enablement: product, competitive, customer-success, pricing, faq
  • Security/compliance: security, compliance, technical, general, faq

Step 2: Confirm Plan

Before creating anything, present the plan to the user:

I'll create this structure in your project:

kb/
  .kb-config.yaml
  index.md
  scopes/
    _default.yaml
    README.md
  {category1}/
  {category2}/
  {category3}/
scripts/
  kb-index.py
  kb-verify.py
  kb-validate.py
  kb-search.py
CLAUDE.md (or append to existing)

Ready to proceed?

Wait for user confirmation.

Step 3: Scaffold the KB

Read the template files from this plugin and adapt them for the user's project:

  1. Read templates/kb/.kb-config.yaml from this plugin. Create kb/.kb-config.yaml in the user's project, replacing the placeholder categories with the ones chosen in Step 1. Replace {{today}} with today's date.

  2. Read templates/kb/index.md from this plugin. Create kb/index.md, adding seed keywords for each chosen category. For example, if the user chose "security" and "technical", add initial keyword entries:

    | encryption, certificates, access | security/ |
    | API, architecture, deployment | technical/ |

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.

setup-knowledge-base is a skill published in the GitHub repository techwolf-ai/ai-first-toolkit (96 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 47 tokens to every session and 1,201 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
