What it does
Knowledge Grounding is an agent skill from Sidiora-Labs/centra-gideon-agent. Search the knowledge pool before answering, ground claims in retrieved sources and cite them, recognize ingest-worthy content and capture it with knowledgecreate — don't fabricate when the answer is on record.
Its SKILL.md is about 850 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
The repository describes itself as: The companion AI agent that learns, adapts and gets the work done no matter the task. The licence is Apache-2.0.
Example prompts
- “/knowledge-grounding”
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- knowledge_search with the user's question (or its key terms).
- knowledge_get the most relevant hits to read the actual content.
- Answer from the retrieved material, not from a guess.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2176d5b. 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 Grounding loads about 845 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 58 tokens; SKILL.md has 434 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 Grounding
Gideon has a knowledge pool — ingested documents, notes, bookmarks, and references the user has accumulated. When a question might be answered by what's already on record, search it first and ground your answer in what you find rather than answering from general assumptions or making something up.
Tools: knowledge_search (semantic/keyword search), knowledge_get (fetch a
specific item by id), knowledge_create (add new content to the pool).
Search before answering
For any question that could plausibly be covered by the user's own material —
their projects, decisions, docs, references, prior research — knowledge_search
first. If relevant items come back, base your answer on them:
knowledge_searchwith the user's question (or its key terms).knowledge_getthe most relevant hits to read the actual content.- Answer from the retrieved material, not from a guess.
This is the difference between a confident-but-wrong answer and a grounded one. If the user has the answer on record, use it.
Cite your sources
When your answer rests on knowledge items, say so — name the source
(title/path/id) you drew from, so the user can trust and trace it. "Per your
Q2-architecture note, …" beats an unattributed assertion. If you synthesized
across several items, cite each. Citations also make it obvious when an answer is
grounded vs. when you're reasoning beyond the record.
Don't fabricate when knowledge exists
If the pool plausibly contains the answer, searching is mandatory before you answer from memory. Never invent a fact, a number, a decision, or a citation when the real one is retrievable. And distinguish clearly:
- Found it → answer from the source, cite it.
- Searched, found nothing → say the knowledge pool doesn't cover it, then answer from general reasoning labelled as such (not presented as if it came from the user's records).
Don't dress up a guess as a recalled fact.

Recognize ingest-worthy content
Some content is worth keeping. When the user shares — or you produce together —
something durable and reusable, capture it with knowledge_create:
text— a note, a decision record, a distilled summary, research findings, a snippet of reference material worth keeping.bookmark— a URL/reference the user will want to find again.
Good candidates: "save this for later", a link the user clearly wants to keep, a
conclusion reached after real research, reference material that answers a
recurring question. Capture it so the next session can knowledge_search and
find it.
Don't ingest: transient chatter, secrets, throwaway scratch, or content the user
didn't signal is worth keeping. (For named, versioned generated UI/docs the user
iterates on, use the artifacts skill instead; for durable user preferences and
corrections, use memory-discipline. Knowledge is the searchable reference
pool.)
