What it does

Docs Knowledge Base is an agent skill from agglayer/agglayer. Create or update docs/knowledge-base/ chapters in mdbook format for human-first technical documentation.

Its SKILL.md is about 340 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 and Technical documentation. The repository describes itself as: Rust implementation of the Agglayer. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Knowledge bases
  • Tasks that involve Technical documentation

Example prompts

  • “/docs-knowledge-base”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 77667ba. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    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

Docs Knowledge Base loads about 344 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 31 tokens; SKILL.md has 133 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~31
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~344

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 passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

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.

Use this workflow when creating or editing files under docs/knowledge-base/.

Audience and tone

  • Primary audience: human maintainers and contributors.
  • Secondary audience: AI agents reading project documentation.
  • Write concise, factual prose.
  • Avoid AI-specific annotations or prompt-oriented formatting.

mdbook structure

  • Keep chapter sources under docs/knowledge-base/src/.
  • Keep docs/knowledge-base/src/SUMMARY.md as the navigation source of truth.
  • When adding a new chapter, update SUMMARY.md in the same change.

Chapter format

  • One top-level heading (#) per chapter.
  • Prefer short sections with explicit responsibilities, invariants, and workflows.
  • Link related terms to glossary.md.
  • Link to relevant code paths when making concrete claims.

Writing conventions

  • Follow semantic line breaks for prose.
  • Prefer active voice and operational wording.
  • Keep guidance implementation-neutral unless a path is repository-specific.
  • Clearly separate facts, constraints, and recommendations.

Verification

Before finishing, build the book and report the exact command and result:

bash
mdbook build docs/knowledge-base/
