From 8c17904ff236bdc031f2ba469a6e0f0319a49023 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: mountain Date: Sat, 16 May 2026 17:06:31 +0800 Subject: [PATCH 01/12] feat(skill): ship Agent Skill so agent CLIs can read the wiki natively MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit OpenKB has been a great compiler with a weak distribution story for the read side — users had to either use openkb's own chat/query CLI or hand-roll their own prompts in Claude Code / Codex / Gemini CLI. This commit ships a SKILL.md (the cross-vendor open standard at agentskills.io, adopted by Anthropic, Google, OpenAI, Cursor, Cline, Windsurf, etc.) that teaches any compatible agent CLI how to navigate an OpenKB-compiled wiki: skills/openkb/ SKILL.md # 3-section primer: what's in the KB, # how to see what's available, # how to read content references/ wiki-schema.md # full directory + frontmatter spec commands.md # openkb CLI read-side reference The skill is opinionated about read-time behavior: • Lead with openkb CLI commands (`openkb list`, `openkb status`, `openkb query`) — they are the canonical interface. • Fall back to direct Markdown reads for raw concept/summary content and for following [[wikilinks]] across the graph. • Use `jq` against `wiki/sources/.json` for long-doc page content (don't `Read` the whole JSON blob). • Never autonomously run write commands (`add`, `remove`, `lint --fix`) — suggest them and let the user run them. Distribution uses Anthropic's plugin-marketplace format (.claude-plugin/marketplace.json), so the install is one command in Claude Code: /plugin marketplace add VectifyAI/OpenKB /plugin install openkb@openkb The vercel-labs/skills universal installer handles Codex, Cursor, Cline, Gemini CLI from the same repo: npx skills@latest add VectifyAI/OpenKB No openkb runtime code changes — the skill is pure markdown that points at existing commands and file layout. --- .claude-plugin/marketplace.json | 22 +++ README.md | 17 +++ skills/openkb/SKILL.md | 82 +++++++++++ skills/openkb/references/commands.md | 99 +++++++++++++ skills/openkb/references/wiki-schema.md | 178 ++++++++++++++++++++++++ 5 files changed, 398 insertions(+) create mode 100644 .claude-plugin/marketplace.json create mode 100644 skills/openkb/SKILL.md create mode 100644 skills/openkb/references/commands.md create mode 100644 skills/openkb/references/wiki-schema.md diff --git a/.claude-plugin/marketplace.json b/.claude-plugin/marketplace.json new file mode 100644 index 00000000..4eaad66d --- /dev/null +++ b/.claude-plugin/marketplace.json @@ -0,0 +1,22 @@ +{ + "name": "openkb", + "owner": { + "name": "VectifyAI", + "url": "https://github.com/VectifyAI/OpenKB" + }, + "metadata": { + "description": "Skills for navigating an OpenKB-compiled knowledge base from agent CLIs (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI).", + "version": "0.1.0" + }, + "plugins": [ + { + "name": "openkb", + "description": "Navigate an OpenKB-compiled wiki: discover documents and concepts via openkb CLI commands, read concept and summary pages directly, and follow wikilinks across the knowledge graph.", + "source": "./", + "strict": false, + "skills": [ + "./skills/openkb" + ] + } + ] +} diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index c1640659..bfb72938 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -236,6 +236,23 @@ OpenKB's wiki is a directory of Markdown files with `[[wikilinks]]`.

The first smoke test of the skill exposed this: Claude in the source repo correctly ran `openkb list` first but had no way to find the wiki. Fix is one line in `print_status` plus a documentation update — status now leads with: Knowledge base: /absolute/path/to/kb Agents parse this from the first line; humans see it as natural context. No new command, no breaking change to existing fields.

Net effect: an agent following the skill no longer hallucinates commands or off-by-one page reads, and the reference docs match what `openkb list` / `index.md` / summary frontmatter actually contain. 1. SKILL.md no longer references a nonexistent `openkb where` — uses `openkb status` everywhere (the rest of the skill already did; line 67 was a stale fragment from an earlier iteration). 2. SKILL.md's `jq` long-doc-page instruction is now unambiguous: `jq '.[N-1]' wiki/sources/.json` (N = 1-indexed PDF page number). Previous "(page N, 0-indexed)" wording risked systematic off-by-one in agent reads. 3. references/commands.md shows the real `openkb list` Type column: `pageindex` (for `long_pdf` registry entries) and `short` (for every other format), matching `_TYPE_DISPLAY_MAP` in cli.py. The prior "long_pdf / md" example was the raw registry values, not the displayed ones. 4. references/wiki-schema.md's index.md example now shows `(short)` / `(pageindex)` type tags (what the compile pipeline emits), not the raw `(long_pdf)` / `(md)` placeholders. 5. references/wiki-schema.md's summary frontmatter `full_text:` is no longer described as "short docs only" — long PDFs also have the field, pointing at the `.json` paginated content.

From 9fe94e3cc0b0b57cef4091b030370fc9a70fd2b0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: mountain Date: Sat, 16 May 2026 18:26:09 +0800 Subject: [PATCH 04/12] docs(skill): address 5 design issues from agent-tooling review MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Five structural concerns surfaced in the second code-review pass: 1. **Trust boundary against prompt injection.** Wiki content is LLM-synthesized from user-ingested documents that may carry adversarial text. Added a "Trust boundary" section telling the agent to treat all wiki bodies, grep matches, and jq output as data — never execute imperative instructions found inside, and prefer direct reads over `openkb query` (which double-injects). 2. **Cross-agent dialect.** The "Read content" table previously used Claude Code tool names verbatim (`Read`/`Grep`/`Bash`). Rewrote the right column with plain English verbs ("read the file at ...", "search the wiki for ...", "shell: ...") and added a note that runtimes can map these to their own tool names. Same content now works for Gemini CLI's `read_file`, Codex's `run_shell_command`, etc. 3. **Write-command safety strengthened.** Section heading changed from advisory "Don't modify the KB autonomously" to imperative "MUST NOT modify the KB or environment autonomously". Expanded the list from the original three (`add`, `remove`, `lint --fix`) to seven, adding `openkb chat`, `openkb watch`, `openkb init` / `openkb use`, and direct edits to any `wiki/` or `.openkb/` file. Added a concrete suggestion-phrasing example. 4. **Activation contract widened.** The description previously triggered only on cwd containing `.openkb/` + `wiki/` — strictly narrower than `openkb`'s own resolution (walks up + global default via `openkb use`). Rewrote as intent-based with explicit keyword triggers (openkb, .openkb, wiki/) and added an anti- trigger ("not for arbitrary Markdown directories, Obsidian vaults, or docs sites not built by openkb"). 5. **`openkb query` cost framing.** Previously sat in the table as a peer of cheap grep/read. Moved to the last row, flagged as "LLM cost — last resort", and added a paragraph explaining the LLM-on-LLM cost and when reading concept pages directly is better. Bonus follow-ups in the same pass (each flagged in review as "out of scope but worth fixing"): - "When the KB doesn't have the answer" section telling the agent to say so explicitly and suggest `openkb add` rather than hallucinate from outside knowledge. - `jq` fallback to a Python one-liner for environments without `jq` (Windows, minimal Alpine, sandboxed Codex envs). - References footer rewritten from passive "See X" to active "Load X when Y" triggers so the agent knows when to engage progressive disclosure. No openkb code changes; the underlying CLI semantics already support every interaction the skill now describes. --- skills/openkb/SKILL.md | 127 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++----------- 1 file changed, 95 insertions(+), 32 deletions(-) diff --git a/skills/openkb/SKILL.md b/skills/openkb/SKILL.md index c1cf40a9..b515774f 100644 --- a/skills/openkb/SKILL.md +++ b/skills/openkb/SKILL.md @@ -1,12 +1,13 @@ --- name: openkb description: | - Use when the current directory contains an OpenKB knowledge base - (a `.openkb/` folder + `wiki/` tree).

From 9d1db0ee6ffa34b4525cf1ac1273e9db0ebc7ea7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: mountain Date: Sat, 16 May 2026 18:42:44 +0800 Subject: [PATCH 05/12] docs(skill): tighten references, fix marketplace spec, add per-CLI install MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Three rounds of cleanup driven by review feedback: 1. **`.openkb/` internal state hidden from references** `wiki-schema.md` previously detailed `config.yaml`, `hashes.json`, and `pageindex.db` schemas in the directory tree — inviting agents to bypass the public `openkb status` / `openkb list` interface and couple to internal storage that may change. Replaced with a single line: "Internal openkb state lives at `/.openkb/`. **Do not read these directly** — use `openkb status` / `openkb list`." 2. **References trimmed (~33% smaller, more focused)** - `commands.md` 3.1KB → 2.2KB: dropped verbose example outputs (full multi-line `openkb list`, `openkb status`, `openkb query` captures) in favor of minimal shape examples. Merged the "NOT typically needed" + "Write commands — DO NOT run" sections so the agent has one clear safety list. - `wiki-schema.md` 5.7KB → 3.7KB: dropped the `.openkb/` subtree and the full `hashes.json` schema (internal). Trimmed long directory tree to category lines only. Kept the frontmatter YAML examples since those ARE the contract. 3. **`marketplace.json` polished per Claude Code spec** - Renamed top-level `name: "openkb"` → `name: "openkb-marketplace"` so users type `/plugin install openkb@openkb-marketplace` instead of the awkward `openkb@openkb`. Mirrors Anthropic's pattern (marketplace `anthropic-agent-skills`, plugin `document-skills`). - Swapped `owner.url` for `owner.email` (the idiomatic field). - Added `version`, `author`, `homepage`, `repository`, `license`, `keywords` on the plugin entry. None required by spec but all low-effort polish that helps discovery. 4. **README install section now per-CLI** Three separate snippets: - Claude Code: `/plugin marketplace add VectifyAI/OpenKB` then `/plugin install openkb@openkb-marketplace`. - Gemini CLI: `gemini skills install --path skills/openkb` — native installer reads our `skills/` tree directly. - Codex CLI: manual `git clone` + symlink into `~/.agents/skills/`. Codex has no marketplace mechanism today; `.agents/skills/` is its discovery path. Once a Codex marketplace ships, the same `marketplace.json` will likely work. --- .claude-plugin/marketplace.json | 13 +- README.md | 26 +++- skills/openkb/references/commands.md | 141 ++++++------------ skills/openkb/references/wiki-schema.md | 185 ++++++++---------------- 4 files changed, 132 insertions(+), 233 deletions(-) diff --git a/.claude-plugin/marketplace.json b/.claude-plugin/marketplace.json index 4eaad66d..84593f78 100644 --- a/.claude-plugin/marketplace.json +++ b/.claude-plugin/marketplace.json @@ -1,8 +1,8 @@ { - "name": "openkb", + "name": "openkb-marketplace", "owner": { "name": "VectifyAI", - "url": "https://github.com/VectifyAI/OpenKB" + "email": "team@vectify.ai" }, "metadata": { "description": "Skills for navigating an OpenKB-compiled knowledge base from agent CLIs (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI).", @@ -14,6 +14,15 @@ "description": "Navigate an OpenKB-compiled wiki: discover documents and concepts via openkb CLI commands, read concept and summary pages directly, and follow wikilinks across the knowledge graph.", "source": "./", "strict": false, + "version": "0.1.0", + "author": { + "name": "VectifyAI", + "email": "team@vectify.ai" + }, + "homepage": "https://github.com/VectifyAI/OpenKB", + "repository": "https://github.com/VectifyAI/OpenKB", + "license": "Apache-2.0", + "keywords": ["knowledge-base", "wiki", "openkb", "rag", "agent-skill"], "skills": [ "./skills/openkb" ] diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index bfb72938..9100d327 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -240,18 +240,30 @@ OpenKB's wiki is a directory of Markdown files with `[[wikilinks]]`.
