Distills a codebase concept into a structured knowledge base entry. Analyzes patterns, conventions, and real examples from the code to create reference documentation. Use when you need to understand how something works in this project (e.g., React hooks, API routers, database models, testing patterns).

npx claudepluginhub dougwithseismic/workflow-toolkit --plugin workflow-toolkitAnalyzes source code to discover and extract implicit knowledge—architecture patterns, conventions, API contracts, config structures, codebase rules—into KB articles.
Analyzes codebase using AST extraction and AI enrichment to build .gauntlet/knowledge.json with business logic, architecture, data flow, and engineering patterns. Enables gauntlet challenges and agent integration.
Generates documentation explaining codebase architecture, key components, data flow, and development guidelines. Useful for understanding unfamiliar code, creating onboarding docs, or documenting system architecture.
