What it does

Akb Query is an agent skill from dnotitia/akb. Answer a question from the AKB vault — decompose, search (hybrid / graph), ground in compiled-truth-over-timeline precedence, and synthesize a cited answer with gap/conflict/stale flags. Read-only.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.2k 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. It works with Model Context Protocol, pgvector, PostgreSQL and FastAPI. The repository describes itself as: AKB — Agent Knowledgebase. Organizational memory for AI agents: vault-scoped docs / tables / files unified by URI graph, served over MCP.

When your agent uses it

  • Knowledge Management work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/akb-query”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Decompose
  2. Search
  3. Ground with source precedence
  4. Synthesize & answer

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2db5c76. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • vault

    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

Akb Query loads about 2.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 52 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,107 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~52
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.2k

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,107 words (~2,212 tokens).

“Answer one question from the target AKB vault. Decompose the question, search the vault with the strategy that fits, ground the answer in the documents found — honoring AKB's compiled-truth-over-timeline precedence — and synthesize a cited answer. Brain-first: the vault…”
