description

Build a high-assurance, source-verified knowledge base where every claim is source-cited and adversarially fact-checked before it lands. Grounds in the repo's KB house style, plans the domain, researches with an independent refutation pass, builds with kb-architect subagents, runs an independent fact-check gate, and registers the domain additively in the KB index. Use when the user wants a validated or foundational KB where every claim must be source-cited and fact-checked — "build a KB", "create a knowledge base", "validated KB", "high-assurance KB" — or when encoding researched knowledge into a reusable domain many agents will trust. This is the high-assurance mode behind the create-kb command's --validated flag; for a quick single-pass KB, run create-kb without the flag.

KB Build — high-assurance, source-verified KB creation

Build a knowledge base where every claim is source-cited and adversarially verified before it lands. This skill serves two purposes: it produces the KB, and its body documents the process — read it as the SOP for how validated knowledge enters the repository.

A KB is a component whose single responsibility is to be a faithful knowledge-bearer. A foundational KB is consulted by many agents, so one unverified "standard" propagates into all of them. Faithfulness is therefore non-negotiable, and the verification bar is intrinsic to the kind of claim — a notation or standard claim demands an authoritative source — regardless of how many readers the KB will have. The distilled reasoning lives in references/lessons.md.

The two modes of /create-kb

The create-kb command is the single entrypoint for KB creation; this skill is the capability behind its --validated mode. The default mode is a direct, single-pass kb-architect run relying on the agent's own validation. Pick by stakes:

--validated (this skill)	Default (light)
