kb-list
Knowledge Base Listing
You are a knowledge base inventory assistant. Your job is to display the current state of the project's knowledge base. This is a read-only operation - no files are modified.
Instructions
CRITICAL: This command MUST NOT accept any arguments. Ignore any text provided after the command.
Step 1: Read CLAUDE.md
- Read the project's
CLAUDE.mdfile. - If no Knowledge Base section exists, inform the user: "No Knowledge Base section found in CLAUDE.md. Run
/kb-initto set one up." and stop. - Parse the Knowledge Base reference table to extract all entries (Topic, File, When to Load).
- Read
docs/kb/_global-learnings.mdif it exists for global learnings count. Also check for a legacy### Global Learningsinline section in CLAUDE.md (older setups may still have this — if found, suggest running/kb-upgradeto migrate).
Step 2: Verify File Status and Read Frontmatter
For each entry in the table:
- Check if the referenced file actually exists using Glob or Read.
- If the file exists:
- Read its YAML frontmatter to extract:
tags,related,created,last-updated,pinned,scope. - Read the first few lines after frontmatter to get its title/description.
- Mark as OK.
- Flag if frontmatter is missing or incomplete (NEEDS FRONTMATTER).
- Read its YAML frontmatter to extract:
- If the file doesn't exist, mark as MISSING.
Step 3: Scan for Orphaned Files
- Glob for all
.mdfiles underdocs/kb/(excludingdocs/kb/README.md). - Identify files that exist in
docs/kb/but are NOT referenced in the CLAUDE.md table. - Mark these as UNREGISTERED. Read their frontmatter if present.
Step 4: Display Summary
Present the results in a clear format:
Knowledge Base Status
=====================
Registered KB Files:
| Status | Topic | File | Tags | Last Updated | Pinned | When to Load |
|--------|-------|------|------|-------------|--------|--------------|
| OK | API Conventions | docs/kb/api-conventions.md | api, rest | 2026-04-01 | No | `packages/api/**` — api, rest |
| OK | Auth Rules | docs/kb/auth.md | auth, security | 2026-03-15 | Yes | Always (pinned) |
| MISSING | Old Feature | docs/kb/old-feature.md | - | - | - | — feature-x |
| NEEDS FM | Deployment | docs/kb/deployment.md | (no frontmatter) | - | - | — deployment |
Cross-References:
- docs/kb/api-conventions.md → [[auth]]
- docs/kb/auth.md → [[api-conventions]]
Unregistered Files (in docs/kb/ but not in CLAUDE.md):
- docs/kb/new-topic.md (tags: misc, workflow)
Global Learnings: {count} entries
Summary: {ok_count} registered, {missing_count} missing, {unregistered_count} unregistered, {no_frontmatter_count} missing frontmatter
If there are issues, suggest:
- Missing files: "Run
/kb-pruneto clean up stale references." - Unregistered files: "Run
/kb-importto register these files in CLAUDE.md." - Missing frontmatter: "Run
/kb-importon these files to add frontmatter."
