Agent skill
keine-update-entries
Use this skill when creating a new knowledge entry or editing an existing one in the Keine knowledge base. Trigger when asked to add, ingest, document, or update any piece of knowledge — a URL, PDF, book, concept, note, or research finding. Use this skill even when the user doesn't say "entry" — if they want to capture or update knowledge, this is the skill.

Creating and Editing Knowledge Entries
Creating a new entry
1. Search first
Before creating, check whether something close already exists:
grep -ri "keyword" docs/
ls docs/tags/
If a close match exists, consider updating it instead of creating a new file.
2. Choose a slug
Format: YYYY-MM-DD-short-descriptive-slug.md. Use today's date. Keep the slug lowercase and hyphen-separated. Prefer concrete nouns over vague ones (2026-03-11-docker-networking.md beats 2026-03-11-containers.md).
3. Write the file
Fill all frontmatter fields:
---
title: "Human-readable title"
description: "One sentence for use in tag indexes"
tags: ["tag1", "tag2"]
source: "URL, DOI, or other reference" # required — link to the original
source_type: "url | pdf | book | note" # required — omit only for original writing
---
Body:
- H1 = title (exactly one)
- ## Summary — 2-5 sentences capturing the core idea
- ## Content — main knowledge; use H3+ for subsections
- ## Related — relative links to other entries, tags, or maps
For ingested content (URL, PDF, book), summarize in your own words — do not copy verbatim.
Academic papers: extended content format
Use this format when the source is an academic paper. This applies when:
- The user explicitly says the source is a paper or research paper
- The source is a PDF and it appears to be an academic paper (has abstract, authors, references, venue/conference/journal markers), or the source is a url of an academic paper
When any of the above is true, replace the plain ## Content section with the three-pass structure below, and add the ## Evaluation section.
## First Pass — Bird's-Eye View
### Category
What type of paper is this? (measurement, system design, analysis, survey, …)
### Context
Which prior work does it build on? What theoretical foundations does it use?
### Correctness
Do the core assumptions appear valid?
### Contributions
What are the 2-4 main contributions claimed?
### Clarity
Is the paper well-structured and clearly written?
## Second Pass — Content Grasp
### Problem & Motivation
What problem is solved and why does it matter?
### Approach
High-level description of the method, architecture, or analysis technique.
### Key Figures & Results
Summarize the most important graphs, tables, or experimental findings. Note whether axes are labeled, error bars are present, and whether conclusions are statistically supported.
### Key References
List 3-5 important cited works worth following up on.
## Third Pass — Deep Understanding
### Core Mechanism
Explain the central idea in enough detail that a peer could re-implement it.
### Hidden Assumptions
What implicit assumptions does the work rely on? Are any questionable?
### Reproducibility & Limitations
Data availability, missing implementation details, or scope constraints.
### Ideas for Future Work
Extensions or open questions surfaced during reading.
## Evaluation
### Advantages
1. …
2. …
3. …
### Disadvantages
1. …
2. …
3. …
## Key References
List important references of this work.
4. Update tags
Run from the repo root after writing the file scripts/maintain_tags.py
5. Commit
You must stage the new entry and any updated tag files:
git add docs/<new-entry>.md docs/tags/
git commit -m "docs: add <title>"
Editing an existing entry
- Find the entry — search by keyword or tag (see below)
- Edit content or frontmatter as needed
- If tags changed, re-run
scripts/maintain_tags.py - You must commit:
sh
git add docs/<entry>.md docs/tags/ git commit -m "docs: update <title>"
Finding entries
- By keyword:
grep -ri "term" docs/ - By tag: read
docs/tags/<tag>.md - By topic: check
docs/maps/for a topic map
