Record Knowledge to MindBase

Current date: !date +%Y-%m-%d

Resolve MindBase Path

First, read ~/.claude/plugins/mindbase/config.json to get the mindbase_path. If the file does not exist, tell the user to run /kb:setup first and STOP.

Your Task

Analyze the current conversation and extract valuable knowledge to save into the MindBase knowledge base using the PARA method.

Process

Step 1: Extract Knowledge Points

Review the entire conversation and identify distinct pieces of knowledge worth recording. Look for:

• Technical concepts explained or discovered → 03_Resources
• Problems solved and their solutions → 03_Resources
• Insights, lessons learned, experience-based judgments → 02_Areas
• Project-specific decisions or progress → 01_Projects
• Useful external resources mentioned → 03_Resources
• Quick ideas or unprocessed thoughts → 00_Inbox

For each knowledge point, determine:

• A clear title
• The appropriate PARA category (inbox / projects / areas / resources)
• Relevant tags
• Confidence level (high = verified/tested, medium = understood but untested, low = hearsay/uncertain)

Step 2: Present to User

Show the user a summary of what you plan to record:

I found N knowledge points to record:

1. [Title] → 03_Resources/filename.md
   Tags: [tag1, tag2]
   Summary: one line

2. [Title] → 02_Areas/filename.md
   Tags: [tag1, tag2]
   Summary: one line

Ask the user to confirm, modify, or skip any entries.

Step 3: Write Entries

For each confirmed entry:

1. Check if a similar entry already exists (search by filename and tags)
2. If exists: show the user and ask whether to merge/update or create new
3. If new: write the entry file to the appropriate PARA directory using the standard format defined in kb-agent

Step 4: Update Indexes

After writing all entries:

1. Update each affected _index.md — add new entries in alphabetical order
2. Update root index.md — increment count, update date, add to category section and recent entries

Step 5: Confirm

Show the user a final summary:

Recorded N entries to MindBase:
- 03_Resources/filename.md
- 02_Areas/other-filename.md

Updated indexes: 03_Resources/_index.md, index.md

Arguments

If the user provides $ARGUMENTS, use it as a hint for what to focus on:

• A topic name: focus extraction on that topic
• "all": extract everything worth recording
• Empty: use your judgment to identify the most valuable knowledge points

Rules

• ALWAYS show the user what will be saved before writing
• NEVER silently overwrite existing entries
• Keep each entry focused on ONE concept/solution/insight
• Write in the same language the knowledge was discussed in (Chinese or English)
• Use [[wikilinks]] for cross-references between entries
• When unsure about PARA category, default to 00_Inbox
