Overview

KnowledgeProvider: Manages L1 (knowledge layer) skills in Anthropic format

L1 characteristics:

  • Project-specific universal knowledge

  • Hash-only blockchain recording

  • Lightweight modification constraints

  • Folder-based archiving (.archived/ directory)

Storage:

  • Content (*.md files): Always stored in files for human readability

  • Metadata: Stored in files (default) or SQLite (when sqlite backend enabled)

  • Blockchain: Uses the configured storage backend

Instance Method Details

#add_external_dir(dir, source:, layer: :L1, index: true) ⇒ Object

Register an external knowledge directory (e.g. from a SkillSet) Knowledge is read-only from external dirs; no merge into the main dir.

Parameters:

  • dir (String) —

    Absolute path to the knowledge directory

  • source (String) —

    Identifier for the source (e.g. “skillset:mmp”)

  • layer (Symbol) (defaults to: :L1) —

    Layer governance (:L0, :L1, :L2)

  • index (Boolean) (defaults to: true) —

    Whether to include in vector search index

  @index_built = false if index # Invalidate index when new indexed dir added
end

#archive(name, reason:, superseded_by: nil) ⇒ Hash

Archive a knowledge skill (move to .archived/ directory)

Parameters:

  • name (String) —

    Skill name
