What it does
Arkon Query is an agent skill from nduckmink/arkon. Answer questions using the Arkon knowledge base. Searches wiki first, drills into raw sources only when needed. Supports quick, standard, and deep modes. Triggers on: what do we know about, find in KB, look up, query:, arkon query, search the wiki, tell me about, based on the KB.
Its SKILL.md is about 1k 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, LLM wikis and MCP servers. It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: Arkon: Enterprise AI Knowledge Hub & MCP Server. Self-hosted knowledge base for teams to manage RAG contexts, access policies, and AI skills. Connect Claude and other LLMs via…
When your agent uses it
- : what do we know about
- Search the wiki
- Based on the KB
Example prompts
- “/arkon-query”
Requirements
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): mcp__arkon__search_wiki, mcp__arkon__read_wiki_index, mcp__arkon__read_wiki_page, mcp__arkon__list_wiki_pages, mcp__arkon__list_knowledge_types, mcp__arkon__get_knowledge_type_docs, mcp__arkon__list_sources, mcp__arkon__get_source, mcp__arkon__get_source_outline, mcp__arkon__get_source_pages
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Call search_wiki(query, top_k=5). If the top result has high similarity (≥ 80%) and its summary answers the question, respond immediately.
- If not satisfied, call read_wiki_page(slug) for the top 1-2 results.
- If still not found, say "Not in quick cache — run as standard query?"
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5e4069d. 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:
mcp__arkon__search_wikimcp__arkon__read_wiki_indexmcp__arkon__read_wiki_pagemcp__arkon__list_wiki_pagesmcp__arkon__list_knowledge_typesmcp__arkon__get_knowledge_type_docsmcp__arkon__list_sourcesmcp__arkon__get_sourcemcp__arkon__get_source_outlinemcp__arkon__get_source_pages
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
Arkon Query loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 73 tokens; SKILL.md has 410 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.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 410 words (~1,014 tokens).
“The wiki has already done the synthesis work. Read strategically, answer precisely. Raw sources are a fallback — not the first stop.”
