/kb-bootstrap — KB Setup

Sets up KB configuration and appends minimal instructions to the project's CLAUDE.md.

1. Check Prerequisites

Run which uv. If not found:

uv is required but not installed. Install it via your package manager:

brew install uv        # macOS
pip install uv         # pip

See uv installation docs for other methods. Then restart your terminal and re-run /kb-bootstrap.

Stop if uv is not available.

2. Check Existing Config

Check if .claude/knowledge-base/config.json already exists.

• Exists: Tell user "KB is already configured." Show current kb_roots entries. Ask if they want to add another KB or re-run the CLAUDE.md update. If neither, stop.
• Does not exist: Continue to Step 3.

3. Choose KB Location

If $ARGS provides a path, use it. Otherwise, ask the user using AskUserQuestion:

• Options: "Use ./knowledge/ (Recommended)", "Custom path"
• If custom: ask for the path

4. Create Config and Structure

1. Create .claude/knowledge-base/config.json:

   {
     "kb_roots": [
       { "name": "core", "path": "./<chosen-path>" }
     ]
   }
   

2. Create the KB directory and CHANGELOG.md:

   <kb-path>/
   └── CHANGELOG.md
   

3. Initialize CHANGELOG.md:

   # Changelog
   

5. Update CLAUDE.md

Read the project's CLAUDE.md (if it exists). Append the content from assets/claude-md-snippet.md — do NOT replace existing content. If the file doesn't exist, create it with only the snippet content.

6. Confirm

Tell the user: "KB is set up. You can start learning with /kb-learn."
