| description | Maintain Linta Markdown knowledge bases from Codex. Use when the user mentions Linta, asks to create or inspect a Linta knowledge base, ingest raw sources, update wiki pages, build indexes, export current context, configure agent access, or work in a repository generated by Linta. |
Linta
Linta is a framework for building LLM-compiled Markdown knowledge bases. Use it to keep raw sources immutable, compile source-backed wiki context, and expose reviewed knowledge to agents.
Working Rules
- Read the nearest
AGENTS.md before editing.
- If the target is a generated knowledge base, also read
ai_kb/schema/AGENTS.md.
- Do not mutate files under
ai_kb/raw/ or raw/.
- Keep generated templates deterministic.
- Keep semantic claims source-backed through source cards, source manifests, wiki links, or explicit citations.
- Do not commit private IP addresses, real domains, credentials, bearer tokens, OAuth client secrets, approval tokens, or personal knowledge-base paths.
- Use placeholders such as
https://your-linta.example.com, replace-with-client-secret, and ./MyKnowledgeBase in committed docs.
- Do not call external LLM APIs in tests.
- If a new Linta CLI command is added, add tests for it.
- Keep
README.md and README_CN.md aligned when changing user-facing docs.
Locate the Target
- If the user gives a path, use that path.
- If the current directory contains
pyproject.toml with project.name = "linta", treat it as the Linta source repository.
- If the current directory contains
ai_kb/schema/AGENTS.md, treat it as a Linta knowledge-base root.
- If unsure, inspect with
pwd, rg --files, and linta doctor <path> before editing.
Prefer These Commands
From an installed environment:
linta --version
linta doctor ./MyKnowledgeBase
linta manifest scan ./MyKnowledgeBase
linta source-card create ./MyKnowledgeBase ai_kb/raw/meetings/example.md
linta prompt ingest ./MyKnowledgeBase ai_kb/raw/meetings/example.md
linta prompt entities ./MyKnowledgeBase ai_kb/raw/meetings/example.md
linta index build ./MyKnowledgeBase
linta lint ./MyKnowledgeBase
linta export current ./MyKnowledgeBase
From the Linta source repository, prefer the local checkout when package installation is not confirmed:
PYTHONPATH=src .venv/bin/python -m linta --version
PYTHONPATH=src .venv/bin/python -m linta doctor ./MyKnowledgeBase
pytest
ruff check .
If .venv/bin/python does not have the runtime dependencies, check for another project virtual
environment such as .venv311/bin/python before falling back to the system python3.
Ingest Workflow
Use this shape when the user asks Codex to organize new material:
- Confirm the knowledge-base root and source path.
- If the source is outside the knowledge base, use
linta raw import.
- Create or refresh the source card with
linta source-card create.
- Render the relevant prompt with
linta prompt ingest, linta prompt entities, or linta prompt lint-ai.
- Update wiki drafts, source cards, entity pages, portfolio pages, or indexes as the prompt requires.
- Run
linta index build and linta lint.
- Show changed files and any human review questions.
Safety Boundaries
- Do not silently promote
ai_kb/wiki/current_draft/ to ai_kb/wiki/current/.
- Do not edit
ai_kb/raw/; use imports or source cards instead.
- Do not hard-code business-specific examples into core modules or templates.
- Keep Hermes, Claude Desktop, Codex, and remote MCP integration values optional and placeholder-driven.
