Automated summary

Displays the current state of a project's knowledge base and recent learnings extracted by the AI.

Strengths

  • Provides a quick overview of accumulated knowledge
  • Shows learning mode status and per-category statistics
  • Lists the last 5 entries for immediate insight

Limitations

  • Only works if knowledge files exist and are in the expected format
  • Read-only; does not modify the knowledge base
  • Relies on frontmatter entry counts or header parsing
When to use it

When you want to check what the AI has learned about the project or the status of learning mode.

When not to use it

When you want to extract new knowledge (use /learn instead).

Security analysis

Safe
Quality score90/100

The skill only reads local project files (knowledge/state.json and markdown files) and displays formatted information. It does not execute any commands, write files, or communicate externally, posing no security risk.

No concerns found

Knowledge

Display the current state of the project's knowledge base and recent learnings.

What This Does

Shows:

  • Learning mode status (on/off)
  • Knowledge base statistics (entry counts per category)
  • Recent learnings extracted

Instructions

  1. Read knowledge/state.json for learning mode status
  2. Read each knowledge file and count entries:
    • knowledge/learnings/patterns.md
    • knowledge/learnings/quirks.md
    • knowledge/learnings/decisions.md
  3. Extract recent entries (last 5) from learnings files
  4. Format and display

Output Format

+---------------------------------------------------+
|           Project Knowledge Base                   |
+---------------------------------------------------+

Learning Status
---------------------------------------------------
Mode: ON (since 2026-01-08 14:00)
Last Extraction: 5 minutes ago
Extractions This Session: 3

** Remember to run /learn before ending your session **

Knowledge Statistics
---------------------------------------------------
Learnings:
  - Patterns: 8 entries
  - Quirks: 3 entries
  - Decisions: 5 entries
  - Total: 16 insights

Recent Learnings
---------------------------------------------------
[Pattern] "Use async/await for API calls in this codebase"
  Discovered: 2026-01-08 | Confidence: high

[Quirk] "Auth module uses non-standard token format"
  Discovered: 2026-01-07 | Confidence: high

[Decision] "Chose Redis over in-memory cache for session storage"
  Made: 2026-01-06 | Confidence: high

Commands
---------------------------------------------------
/learn      - Extract insights now
/learn-on   - Enable learning mode reminder
/learn-off  - Disable learning mode reminder

Learning Status
---------------------------------------------------
Mode: OFF
No extractions yet

Knowledge Statistics
---------------------------------------------------
Knowledge base is empty.

Get Started
---------------------------------------------------
Use /learn to extract insights from your current session.
Use /learn-on to enable learning mode.

The knowledge base will grow as you work, capturing:
  - Patterns that work well in this project
  - Quirks and gotchas to remember
  - Decisions and their rationale

Steps

  1. Read knowledge/state.json
  2. Read frontmatter from each knowledge file to get entry counts
  3. Parse recent entries from learnings files (look for ## Pattern:, ## Quirk:, ## Decision: headers)
  4. Format and display the summary
  5. If files are missing or empty, show the "empty" state

Notes

  • Entry counts come from frontmatter entry_count field or by counting ## headers
  • Recent learnings are shown most recent first (by discovered/made date)
  • This is a read-only command - it doesn't modify any files
  • When learning mode is ON, show a reminder to run /learn before ending the session

From the file to a first result

The download contains exactly the content displayed on this page. This copy may differ from the latest version in the source repository.

View the source and supporting files

This download contains SKILL.md only. Any scripts, references, templates and dependencies are not included. Get the required files from the source, preserving their directory structure, before continuing.

1. Download the file

Download SKILL.md

From the root of a test project, save the file as .skill-downloads/knowledge-base-display-mmio71e7/SKILL.md, or use the command below. This folder is for inspecting the skill before installation.

Command for macOS/Linux or WSL: requires a POSIX shell and curl. On Windows without WSL, use the download button and create the folder manually.

mkdir -p '.skill-downloads/knowledge-base-display-mmio71e7' && curl --fail --show-error --location 'https://skills-guides.com/api/skills/knowledge-base-display-mmio71e7/download' --output '.skill-downloads/knowledge-base-display-mmio71e7/SKILL.md.part' && mv '.skill-downloads/knowledge-base-display-mmio71e7/SKILL.md.part' '.skill-downloads/knowledge-base-display-mmio71e7/SKILL.md'

2. Check prerequisites

Read SKILL.md before using it. If it references scripts or external services, inspect them and prepare the required access in your test environment.

No recognized prerequisites section in this file. This does not mean it is self-contained: libraries, tools and access requirements may be mentioned elsewhere in the content or source repository.

The platforms on this page are catalog indications. The paths below follow tool documentation; they do not prove this skill has been run in those tools. No minimum tool version is confirmed for this listing.

3. Load the skill

After inspection, copy the complete folder into your project using one of the commands below, then open a new tool session. The command stops if a folder with the same name already exists: compare the files before replacing it.

Claude Code
test -f '.skill-downloads/knowledge-base-display-mmio71e7/SKILL.md' && test -s '.skill-downloads/knowledge-base-display-mmio71e7/SKILL.md' && mkdir -p '.claude/skills' && test ! -e '.claude/skills/knowledge' && cp -R '.skill-downloads/knowledge-base-display-mmio71e7' '.claude/skills/knowledge'

OpenSkills

OpenSkills must already be installed. The local install/read procedure is checked with OpenSkills 1.5.0, which requires Node.js ≥ 20.6.0. Catalog slugs are not resolved automatically.

Official OpenSkills installation
openskills install './.skill-downloads/knowledge-base-display-mmio71e7'

openskills read 'knowledge-base-display-mmio71e7'

Reading should display the installed file content and its base directory. It does not run the skill or install its dependencies.

For an agent that reads AGENTS.md, then sync the index. This command changes AGENTS.md: review the diff before using it.

openskills sync

Manual method or another tool: attach SKILL.md to a conversation, or open it in an agent that can read files. Include any required supporting resources. No universal folder is recognized by every tool.

4. Try a first task

Use a short, synthetic input: an API endpoint, a small document or an interface brief. In a new conversation, attach the file or give the agent its path, then adapt this request:

Read .skill-downloads/knowledge-base-display-mmio71e7/SKILL.md and apply its instructions to this example: [describe a test input]. Identify any missing files, dependencies or access. Produce the result requested by the skill without inventing data or running unreviewed scripts.

Expected result: output matching the skill instructions, or a precise list of missing prerequisites. A read confirmation alone does not validate a first use. If an external resource is unavailable, that path remains untested.
