scribe-kb

# scribe knowledge base — agent skill A scribe-managed KB is a local-first markdown vault. Articles live in topic directories under a KB root, every article carries YAML frontmatter, links between articles are `[[Wikilinks]]`, and search runs through qmd (BM25 + vector hybrid). A daemon `scribe` runs on cron to extract from project repos, mine coding-agent sessions, capture iMessage URLs, absorb queued URLs, lint frontmatter, and reindex qmd. This skill teaches a Claude Code / Codex / OpenCode session how to interact with such a KB without breaking the conventions the daemon expects. ## When to use this skill Trigger on any of: - **You're working in the KB root** — there's a `scribe.yaml` in the project root, or directories named `wiki/`, `decisions/`, `solutions/`, `patterns/`, `research/`, `ideas/`, `tools/`, `people/`, `projects/`, `raw/articles/`. - **You're working in a non-KB project that drops files into the KB** — there's a `.claude/<some_kb_name>/` directory with markdown drop files, or the user's CLAUDE.md mentions a personal KB and a drop-file convention. - The user asks about: their KB, scriptorium, qmd, drop files, "what do I know about X", "have I done this before", "save this for later", or any of the article types above. ## Operations cheat sheet | What | Command (qmd / shell) | |---|---| | Find articles by topic | `qmd query "<natural-language question>"` (or use the qmd MCP tool when present) | | Exact-keyword search | `qmd search "<keywords>"` | | Re...
