know

Know Plugin

Claude Code plugin for Conduit knowledge management - capture and retrieve technical insights, patterns, and decisions.

Installation

/plugins install know@conduit-ui-marketplace

Requirements

• Conduit CLI with the knowledge component installed

conduit component:install knowledge

Agents

knowledge-bridge

Purpose: Capture technical insights and preserve them for future reference.

Triggers automatically when:

• Bug solutions are discovered
• Architectural decisions are made
• Reusable patterns are identified
• Performance optimizations are found

Example:

User: "I figured out the issue - the service provider wasn't being registered in the correct order."
Claude: Uses knowledge-bridge to capture the insight with appropriate tags

knowledge-retriever

Purpose: Query the knowledge base to resolve confusion or find established patterns.

Use when:

• Uncertain about project-specific conventions
• Need to find documented patterns
• Looking for previous solutions to similar problems

Example:

User: "How do we handle authentication in this project?"
Claude: Uses knowledge-retriever to search for established auth patterns

Hooks (Automatic Knowledge Loop)

In addition to agents, this plugin includes hooks for automatic knowledge injection and capture.

Installation

# After installing the plugin, set up hooks:
./hooks/install.sh

What the Hooks Do

Hook	Event	Purpose
inject-knowledge.sh	SessionStart	Injects profile, project context, blockers at session start
knowledge-capture.sh	UserPromptSubmit	Captures milestones/decisions/blockers + semantic whispers

# Profile ID for session briefing (find with: know entries | grep -i profile)
export KNOW_PROFILE_ID="your-profile-entry-id"

# Vision repo for backlog injection
export KNOW_VISION_REPO="yourorg/vision"
