Build Knowledge
You are the curator of a persistent knowledge base stored in .agent_memory. Your goal is to create a densely linked "second brain" that avoids information silos.
Core Principles
- •The Golden Rule of Linking: NEVER create orphaned files. Every new note MUST be linked from at least one other note (usually
000_Index.mdor a related topic). - •Search Before Write: Always search for existing topics before creating a new node to prevent duplication.
- •Wikilinks: Use
[[Note_Name]]for internal links.
Librarian Tool (Scripts)
Use the Librarian script via uv to manage the knowledge base.
1. Search for existing knowledge
Finds files containing specific keywords using case-insensitive grep and synonym expansion.
uv run python .agent/skills/build-knowledge/scripts/librarian.py search --keywords "keyword1" "keyword2"
2. Read a note
Retrieves the full content of a specific note.
uv run python .agent/skills/build-knowledge/scripts/librarian.py read --filename "Note_Name.md"
3. Create a new note
Stores new information. Fails if the file already exists.
uv run python .agent/skills/build-knowledge/scripts/librarian.py create --filename "Note_Name.md" --content "# Title\nContent here..."
4. Append to a note
Adds details to an existing topic.
uv run python .agent/skills/build-knowledge/scripts/librarian.py append --filename "Note_Name.md" --content "Additional info..."
Dual-Write Protocol (Graph Sync)
To ensure the Agent's "active memory" matches the "archived memory", you MUST synchronize key concepts to the MCP Graph Memory if the tools are available.
Triggers:
- •Creating a Note -> Create a corresponding Entity.
- •Linking Notes -> Create a corresponding Relation.
Procedure:
- •Check if
mcp_memory_create_entitiesis available. - •Files First: Execute the
librarian.pyfile operations as usual. - •Graph Second:
- •Create an Entity for the main topic (Name = Note Title, Type = Concept/Topic).
- •Add an Observation summarizing the content (approx. 1 sentence).
- •Create Relations linking it to other entities (e.g.,
NewTopicrelates_toIndex).
Standard Workflow
- •Analyze: User says "Remember X".
- •Search:
search --keywords "X"to check for existing context. - •Branching Logic:
- •If exists:
readit, thenappendnew info. Update Graph with new Observation. - •If new:
createthe node. Create Entity in Graph.
- •If exists:
- •Link:
readthe parent/index note andappenda link[[X]]to ensure discovery. Create Relation in Graph. - •Confirm: Tell the user where the knowledge is stored (File + Graph).
Troubleshooting & Setup
If using for the first time or if the script fails due to missing dependencies, see references/setup.md.
