What it does
Analyze Kb is an agent skill from Abilityai/cornelius. Analyze knowledge base structure and update the knowledge-base-analysis.md report
Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Knowledge Management, covering Knowledge bases. The repository describes itself as: AI-powered second brain template for Claude Code + Obsidian. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Knowledge bases
Example prompts
- “/analyze-kb”
Requirements
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Bash, Glob, Grep
Workflow steps
8 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Get vault statistics using Local Brain Search
- List all notes with full directory tree using Bash find
- Use Glob to explore directory structure
- Read key hub notes from major clusters using Read tool (Dopamine, Self/Buddhism, Decision-Making, Flow, etc.)
- Use Local Brain Search to identify hub notes and bridges
- Pull BDG statistics for layer distribution and lifecycle phases
- Analyze thematic clusters, hierarchical organization, and conceptual architecture
- Use Edit or Write to update the knowledge-base-analysis.md file with a condensed report (target: ~600-800 lines max)
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit fd5e9a4. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
ReadBashGlobGrep
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Analyze Kb loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 23 tokens; SKILL.md has 471 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check: notes
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.
- NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
allowed-tools: Read, Bash, Glob, Grep
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
