Task: Local Knowledge Base

Arguments: $ARGUMENTS

Mode Selection

• If $ARGUMENTS is --alias <name>: set a custom command alias — save {"command_alias": "<name>"} into .kb-config.json (merge with existing fields), then reply: Command alias set to /<name>. Terminate.
• If $ARGUMENTS is --alias reset: remove the command_alias field from .kb-config.json, then reply: Command alias reset to default /kb. Terminate.
• If $ARGUMENTS is empty (user only typed /kb), execute the Indexing Workflow below
• If $ARGUMENTS is not empty, treat it as a user question and execute the Q&A Workflow below

Indexing Workflow

Step 1: Confirm Watch Directory

1. Read .kb-config.json from the current working directory using the Read tool
2. If the file exists and watch_dir is a non-empty string, use it as WATCH_DIR
3. If the file does not exist or watch_dir is empty, ask the user:

> Please enter the absolute path of the directory to watch:

Save the user's input as WATCH_DIR, and write the following to .kb-config.json using the Write tool:

   {"watch_dir": "<WATCH_DIR>"}

1. Verify the directory exists using Bash:

   ls "<WATCH_DIR>" > /dev/null 2>&1 && echo "ok" || echo "not_found"

If it returns not_found, inform the user and terminate.

Step 2: Load Existing Metadata

Read <WATCH_DIR>/.kb-meta.json using the Read tool.

• If the file exists, parse the JSON and extract the files object (keyed by filename)
• If it does not exist, initialize files = {}

Step 3: Scan Directory for New and Modified Files

List files recursively in the directory using Bash:

find "<WATCH_DIR>" -type f \( -name "*.txt" -o -name "*.md" -o -name "*.docx" -o -name "*.pdf" -o -name "*.xlsx" -o -name "*.csv" \) -not -name ".kb-meta.json" -print

For each file found, get its modification time using Bash:

stat -f "%m" "<filepath>"   # macOS
stat -c "%Y" "<filepath>"   # Linux

A file needs (re-)indexing if:

• Its relative path is not in the files object, OR
• Its modification time is newer than the indexed_at timestamp in the existing entry

Also, remove any entries from files whose files no longer exist on disk (stale cleanup).

Use the relative path from WATCH_DIR as the key (e.g., subdir/report.pdf).

If there are no files to process and no stale entries to clean, output:

No changes detected (X files already indexed)

Then terminate.

Step 4: Process Each File That Needs Indexing

For each file, follow these steps:

4a. Read File Content

Read the file using the method described in Appendix: File Reading Methods below, with MAX_CHARS = 8000.

If reading fails, record "error": "Read failed: <error message>" in the file's metadata entry and skip to the next file.

4b. Extract Metadata

After reading the file content, generate the following fields:

• summary: A 100-200 word summary describing the file's core content and purpose
• tags: 3-8 classification tags as a JSON array
• toc: A list of the file's major section/chapter titles as a JSON array (max 20 items); return an empty array if no clear structure exists

4c. Update and Save Metadata Immediately

Add the following entry to the files object:

"<filename>": {
  "filename": "<filename>",
  "summary": "<summary>",
  "tags": ["tag1", "tag2"],
  "toc": ["section1", "section2"],
  "indexed_at": "<current time, ISO 8601 format>",
  "file_size": <bytes, obtained via Bash wc -c>
}

Write the complete .kb-meta.json back to disk immediately after processing each file, to avoid losing progress if interrupted.

Show progress for each file, e.g.:

[1/3] Processing: contract_template.txt ... done
[2/3] Processing: product_manual.pdf ... done
[3/3] Processing: quotation.xlsx ... failed (read error)

Step 5: Output Summary

Indexing complete
  Total files scanned: X
  Newly indexed: Y
  Failed/skipped: Z
  Metadata file: <WATCH_DIR>/.kb-meta.json

Q&A Workflow

User question: $ARGUMENTS

Step 1: Load Configuration and Metadata

1. Read .kb-config.json from the current working directory using the Read tool, and get the watch_dir field (referred to as WATCH_DIR)

If the file does not exist or watch_dir is empty, reply: > Knowledge base directory not configured. Please run /kb first to set up the index.

Then terminate.

1. Read <WATCH_DIR>/.kb-meta.json using the Read tool

If the file does not exist or files is an empty object, reply: > Knowledge base index is empty. Please run /kb first to build the index.

Then terminate.

Step 2: Build File Index Summary

Organize each entry in files into a single line of plain text:

File: contract_template.txt, Summary: Standard procurement contract template with rights and obligations..., Tags: contract, procurement, template, TOC: Article 1 Definitions, Article 2 Rights, Article 3 Breach
File: product_manual.pdf, Summary: Technical specifications and installation guide for Product A..., Tags: product, specs, TOC: Overview, Installation, FAQ

• If a field is empty or missing, omit it
• toc: show at most the first 15 items, comma-separated
• tags: comma-separated

Step 3: Identify Relevant Files

Based on the index summary and user question, determine which files may contain the answer.

Criteria:

• The file's summary, tags, or table of contents contain information semantically related to the question
• Prefer including a marginally relevant file over missing a potentially useful one

If no files are possibly relevant, reply directly:

Sorry, no files related to your question were found in the knowledge base. Current indexed file count: X Suggestion: Verify the question falls within the knowledge base scope, or run /kb to update the index.

Then terminate.

Record the matched filenames as an internal variable MATCHED_FILES (do not show this list to the user).

Step 4: Read Full Content of Relevant Files

For each filename in MATCHED_FILES, read the file using the method described in Appendix: File Reading Methods below (no truncation, omit MAX_CHARS).

If a file fails to read, skip it and continue with the remaining files.

Step 5: Generate Answer

Based on the content of the retrieved files, answer the user's question.

Requirements:

1. Answer directly, preferring to quote the file's original text, data, or specific statements
2. If multiple files contain relevant information, synthesize the answer and note which file each part comes from
3. If the file content can only partially answer the question, indicate which parts could not be found in the knowledge base
4. Append citation sources at the end of the answer, formatted as:

---
Sources:
[1] contract_template.txt
[2] product_manual.pdf

Only list files actually used in the answer; do not include matched but unused files.

Appendix: File Reading Methods

Use the following methods based on file extension. All Bash commands pass the file path via the KB_FILE environment variable to avoid filename injection issues.

Optional parameter MAX_CHARS: if provided, truncate output to that many characters; if omitted, output the full content.

• .txt / .md / .csv: Read using the Read tool at <WATCH_DIR>/<filename>. If MAX_CHARS is set, only read the first MAX_CHARS characters (approximately MAX_CHARS / 40 lines).

• .docx: Run via Bash:

  KB_FILE="<WATCH_DIR>/<filename>" python3 -c "
  import docx, os
  doc = docx.Document(os.environ['KB_FILE'])
  text = '\
'.join(p.text for p in doc.paragraphs if p.text.strip())
  limit = int(os.environ.get('KB_MAX_CHARS', '0'))
  print(text[:limit] if limit else text)
  "

• .pdf: Run via Bash:

  KB_FILE="<WATCH_DIR>/<filename>" python3 -c "
  import pdfplumber, os
  with pdfplumber.open(os.environ['KB_FILE']) as pdf:
      text = '\
'.join(p.extract_text() or '' for p in pdf.pages)
  limit = int(os.environ.get('KB_MAX_CHARS', '0'))
  print(text[:limit] if limit else text)
  "

• .xlsx: Run via Bash:

  KB_FILE="<WATCH_DIR>/<filename>" python3 -c "
  import openpyxl, os
  wb = openpyxl.load_workbook(os.environ['KB_FILE'], data_only=True)
  rows = []
  for ws in wb.worksheets:
      for row in ws.iter_rows(values_only=True):
          line = '\	'.join(str(v) for v in row if v is not None)
          if line.strip():
              rows.append(line)
  text = '\
'.join(rows)
  limit = int(os.environ.get('KB_MAX_CHARS', '0'))
  print(text[:limit] if limit else text)
  "

When MAX_CHARS is needed, prepend KB_MAX_CHARS="<value>" to the environment variables, e.g.:

KB_FILE="..." KB_MAX_CHARS="8000" python3 -c "..."
