name	teamkb
description	Runs an end-of-session capture sweep for the governed knowledge brain: reviews what happened, classifies insights, checks for conflicts, and proposes governed memories via the teamkb MCP tools. Admin capture workflow that complements the one-shot /brain-save. Use when wrapping up a session with team-relevant discoveries, or when importing existing docs into the brain. Trigger with "/teamkb", "capture this session", or "sweep for team knowledge".

TeamKB — governed team-knowledge capture sweep

Capture team memory at the end of a session: review what happened, classify the insights worth keeping, check them against existing memories for conflicts, and queue them for governance review. This is the multi-step, subagent-driven capture workflow that sits alongside the one-shot /brain-save.

Overview

The brain captures knowledge, validates it through deterministic governance policies, and shares it across the team via qmd. This skill drives the capture side: it uses the teamkb MCP tools to propose candidates (never writing governed state directly — the curator promotes after policy checks) and delegates the judgment-heavy steps to specialized subagents.

Prerequisites

• The intent-brain plugin is installed with admin role (TEAMKB_ROLE=admin), so the write MCP tools (teamkb_propose, teamkb_status) are registered. A member install is read-only and cannot capture.
• For conflict checking, the brain has an existing corpus to compare against.

Authentication

In team mode, the write tools reach the brain API over the tailnet with the admin's per-user bearer token (TEAMKB_API_TOKEN), sent as an Authorization: Bearer header. A non-admin token is rejected server-side with 403. Never hardcode the token; supply it via env or a headersHelper. In local mode no token is needed.

Available MCP tools

• teamkb_propose — capture a single insight as a candidate { title, content, category?, filePaths? }. Writes to the spool; the governance pipeline decides promotion.
• teamkb_import — bulk-import files as candidates { glob, basePath? }.
• teamkb_status — counts by lifecycle state, category, and recent rejection feedback.
• teamkb_transition — change a memory's lifecycle state { memoryId, to, reason, actor }.

Instructions

Step 1: Review the session

Use Read, Glob, and Grep to gather what changed and what was decided — the diff, the files touched, and any decisions stated in the conversation. Delegate the sweep to the @teamkb-scout subagent (via Agent) when the session is large.

Step 2: Classify each candidate insight

Recognize capturable moments and assign a category:

1. Decisions made ("Let's use X instead of Y because…") → decision
2. Patterns discovered ("This pattern works well for…") → pattern
3. Conventions agreed ("We should always…") → convention
4. Architecture documented ("The data flows from…") → architecture
5. Bugs solved ("The root cause was…") → troubleshooting
6. Setup documented ("To get this running…") → onboarding

Delegate ambiguous content to @teamkb-classifier.

Step 3: Check for conflicts

Before proposing, delegate to @teamkb-conflict-checker to compare each candidate against existing memories. Surface conflicts rather than creating duplicates or contradictions — the governance layer tracks contradictions explicitly.

Step 4: Propose

For each surviving candidate, call teamkb_propose. Then call teamkb_status to confirm the candidates landed and review any recent rejection feedback.

Quality bar

Before proposing, ask: "Would a new team member benefit from finding this in 30 days?" Do NOT propose:

• Session-specific debugging steps (too ephemeral)
• Personal preferences (not team knowledge)
• Content already in CLAUDE.md or README
• Anything containing secrets, tokens, or credentials

Subagents

• @teamkb-scout — sweeps the session for capturable moments.
• @teamkb-curator — end-of-session capture orchestration.
• @teamkb-classifier — categorizes ambiguous content into a MemoryCategory.
• @teamkb-conflict-checker — compares a proposed memory against existing ones.

Output

• A list of proposed candidates with their categories and returned candidateIds.
• Any conflicts surfaced (and how they were resolved).
• A closing teamkb_status summary.

Error Handling

Situation	Response
Write tools absent	The install is member role; capture requires an admin install.
Propose returns 403	The token is not an admin token — the gate working as designed.
Candidate may contain a secret	Strip it; do not rely on pipeline secret-detection as the only check.

Examples

/teamkb capture
→ @teamkb-curator reviews the session, proposes 3 candidates (1 decision, 2 patterns).

/teamkb import docs/**/*.md
→ Bulk-imports matching files as candidates queued for governance review.

/teamkb status
→ Shows counts by lifecycle state and recent rejection feedback.
