Knowledge Agent Skill

by 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.

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 |

| web_search | DuckDuckGo results (titles, snippets, URLs) when the answer is not local |

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.
  • delete_memory when the user says to forget something.

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.

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take guaardvark/knowledge from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
