What it does
Knowledge is an agent skill from guaardvark/guaardvark. Answer from the user's own indexed documents with Guaardvark's local RAG, browse and read indexed files section by section, remember facts across sessions, and process or fetch new material. Use when the user asks what their documents say, wants a source-cited answer from their files, says "remember this", or asks to index a PDF, DOCX, spreadsheet, image or URL.
Its SKILL.md is about 640 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 Documents & Office, covering Retrieval-augmented generation, Word documents and Excel spreadsheets. It works with Microsoft Word, Model Context Protocol and Ollama. The repository describes itself as: The self-hosted AI studio: local video, image, music, voice, LoRA training, coding swarms, RAG and screen agents on one GPU, driven from the Studio or by your coding agent… The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- The user asks what their documents say
- Wants a source-cited answer from their files
- Says remember this
- Asks to index a PDF
Example prompts
- “s own indexed documents with Guaardvark”
- “remember this”
- “/knowledge”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f022ceb. 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.
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
Knowledge loads about 642 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 94 tokens; SKILL.md has 295 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 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.

Knowledge with Guaardvark (MCP tools)
Everything here is the guaardvark MCP server. All retrieval is local (Ollama embeddings,
hybrid search, cross-encoder reranking on the user's GPU).
Find and read
| tool | use |
|---|---|
search_knowledge_base | the question in plain words; returns passages with sources. Cite them. |
summarize_corpus | what the whole knowledge base covers, before searching blind |
list_documents | which documents are indexed and how many passages each has |
get_document_outline | sections or pages of one document, in order |
read_document_section | the actual text of one section or page, no search |
process_file | extract content from a PDF, DOCX, CSV, Excel, image or other file the user names |
fetch_url | title, description and main text of one web page; pass query (the user's question) to get the passage about it instead of the top of the page |
web_search | web results (titles, snippets, URLs) when the answer is not local; source names the search engine that answered, and no_results says when it found nothing |
Pattern: summarize_corpus or list_documents → search_knowledge_base → read the exact
section with get_document_outline + read_document_section before quoting.
Remember
save_memory: a fact, preference or instruction to keep across sessions. Use when the user says "remember", or states a durable preference. One fact per call.search_memory: check before assuming; recalled memories are what was true when saved.- Forgetting:
delete_memoryis not exposed by this server by default, because it deletes. Find the memory withsearch_memory, then delete it withDELETE /api/memory/<id>on the backend. An operator who wants the tool over MCP addsdelete_memorytoserver.tools.allowindata/config/mcp.json.
Rules
- Quote the source (document name and section) for any claim that came from retrieval.
- If retrieval returns nothing, say so; do not fill the gap from general knowledge without labelling it.
- Indexing new folders happens in the Studio's Library page; the MCP server reads what is indexed.

Knowledge is an agent skill from guaardvark/guaardvark. Answer from the user's own indexed documents with Guaardvark's local RAG, browse and read indexed files section by section, remember facts across sessions, and process or fetch new material.
When should I use Knowledge?
Knowledge fits situations like: the user asks what their documents say; wants a source-cited answer from their files; says remember this; asks to index a PDF.
How do I install Knowledge in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add guaardvark/guaardvark --skill knowledge -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.agents/skills/knowledge in guaardvark/guaardvark) into .claude/skills/knowledge in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Knowledge in Codex?
Run `npx skills add guaardvark/guaardvark --skill knowledge -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.agents/skills/knowledge in guaardvark/guaardvark) into .agents/skills/knowledge in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use Knowledge in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add guaardvark/guaardvark --skill knowledge -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/knowledge, .gemini/skills/knowledge, .github/skills/knowledge and .opencode/skills/knowledge in your project.
What does Knowledge need to run?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Knowledge is instructions for the agent only.
Does Knowledge access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Knowledge safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
What licence does Knowledge use?
Knowledge is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
How many tokens does Knowledge use?
About 642 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 2.6k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
What are the alternatives to Knowledge?
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Knowledge: Mineru (Nebutra/MinerU-Skill, 122 stars), Baalda Guide (naveedharri/baalda, 154 stars), Nutrient Document Processing (affaan-m/ECC, 275k stars) and Nutrient Document Processing (affaan-m/ECC, 275k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
