Getting it into your agent
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.

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 | $0.00040 | $0.01421 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00020 | $0.00711 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00008 | $0.00284 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00142 |
Grade A, and why
kb-workflow 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 6d 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 — 139 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Knowledge Base Workflow
What This Skill Does
This skill teaches you how to use the knowledge-base-server MCP tools efficiently. It does NOT replace the MCP server — it complements it by giving you the retrieval strategy that saves 90%+ tokens.
Think of it this way:
- MCP server = the engine (search, read, write, capture)
- This skill = the driving instructions (when to search, what to read, how to capture)
Before Starting Any Task
Search the KB for relevant context BEFORE writing code or making decisions:
1. kb_context("topic") — get summaries only (~100 tokens per doc, 90% savings)
2. Review titles and summaries — decide which docs matter
3. kb_read(id) — read full content ONLY for docs you actually need
Never skip this. The KB has accumulated lessons, fixes, decisions, and architecture docs. Searching first prevents:
- Repeating solved problems
- Contradicting past decisions
- Missing known pitfalls
- Wasting tokens on re-discovery
The Three-Tier Retrieval Pattern
The KB has three tiers of information. Query the right tier for your need:
| Need | Tool | Tokens | When |
|---|---|---|---|
| Quick context | kb_context |
~100/doc | Always start here |
| Specific search | kb_search |
~200/result | Looking for something specific |
| Conceptual match | kb_search_smart |
~200/result | Fuzzy/semantic queries |
| Full document | kb_read |
~500-5000/doc | Only after context confirms relevance |
Rule: Never kb_read without kb_context first. You wouldn't read an entire book to check if it's relevant — you'd read the summary.
- Fallback: if
kb_searchcomes up empty, grep the vault directly — it is plain markdown on disk. Find the vault path in the kb-graph install's.env(OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH=), default~/kb-vault, thengrep -ri "<term>" <vault-path>. Retrieval ranking can miss sparse signals; direct inspection of raw files is the reliable backstop.
After Completing Work
Capture what you learned so the next session starts smarter:
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-workflow is a skill published in the GitHub repository uttambharadwaj/kb-graph (3 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 40 tokens to every session and 1,421 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 2026-08-31.
