creating-kb
From the author
Builds a portable, embedding-free knowledgebase from a set of files and delivers it as a self-contained `.skill` bundle (BM25 index + bundled searcher + query protocol). Use when a user wants to turn uploaded files, a folder, or a corpus into a searchable knowledgebase they can hand to any agent — phrased as "make a knowledgebase", "build a KB skill", "package these docs for retrieval", "create a searchable bundle", or references to a `.skill` KB. The output runs anywhere with Node or Python — no model, no install, no network. Distinct from `bm25` (ephemeral in-session search) and `building-github-index` (markdown project-knowledge index).

- kb-setupBlackBeltTechnology/pi-agent-dashboardSet up, initialize, or configure the local markdown knowledge base for a project. Use when the user says "set up the knowledge base", "init the KB", "configure the markdown KB", "index my docs", "add a doc source to the KB", or wants the project's markdown searchable by `kb search`. Wraps `kb init` end-to-end through `kb index` and a smoke `kb search`.Other★ 331
- setup-knowledge-basetechwolf-ai/ai-first-toolkitInteractive onboarding to create a structured knowledge base. Defines categories, scaffolds the directory structure, creates the index, and optionally imports initial content. Run this first before using /kb-answer or /kb-import.Other★ 137
- bm25oaustegard/claude-skillsRanked content search over a text corpus you point it at, using BM25 (via xhluca/bm25s). Corpus-agnostic: cloned repos, project knowledge stores, uploaded files and archives, any local directory. In-memory BM25 index per invocation, with a session-local disk cache for repeat runs against the same corpus. Use for "rank these documents", "search this corpus", "which files are most about X", "find content about Y", or any multi-word concept query against a known body of text where grep would return everything or nothing. Needs a corpus on disk. Not for searching stored memories or prior-session decisions (remembering), not for a named symbol or a file's structure (tree-sitting), and not for a literal string you could grep.Productivity★ 154
- create-skillCherryHQ/cherry-studioCreate a new skill in the current repository. Use when the user wants to create/add a new skill, or mentions creating a skill from scratch. This skill follows the workflow defined in .agents/skills/README.md and helps scaffold, validate, and sync new skills.Productivity★ 52.9K
- openkbyuezhiai/jonexUse when the user asks about content in their OpenKB knowledge base — research topics, concepts compiled from their documents, cross-document synthesis — or mentions `openkb`, an `.openkb/` directory, or a `wiki/` tree generated by openkb. The user may invoke you from any working directory; the active KB resolves via `openkb status`. Do NOT use for arbitrary Markdown directories, Obsidian vaults, or documentation sites not built by openkb.Science★ 1.5K
- research-with-sourcesinkeep/open-knowledgeInvestigate a topic against preserved sources and write a draft-status research article under `research/` in a Knowledge Base project (the `knowledge-base` starter pack). Read when asked to research a topic, compare options, synthesize sources, gather evidence, or extend an existing research doc. Carries the full procedure: scan existing coverage, agree a research rubric, capture every source verbatim before analyzing, write the article incrementally so a crash never loses work, cite every claim, and link it back into the graph. Does not promote findings to canonical knowledge — that is the sibling `consolidate-notes` skill, after a decision lands.Science★ 4.7K
