Answer questions using your project's knowledge base with evidence-backed citations. Every answer must cite literal quotes from KB files to prevent hallucinations. Use this for any question that should be answered from documented knowledge rather than general knowledge.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# KB Answer Workflow Follow these steps in order for every question. For multiple independent questions, use parallel agents. ## Prerequisites Check that `kb/` exists in the project root. If not, tell the user to run `/setup-knowledge-base` first. ## Step 1: Navigate Using the Index **Always start by reading the KB index:** ``` kb/index.md ``` The index provides: - **Keyword Lookup**: find the right file by keyword - **Category overview**: all files grouped by topic If the index is empty or outdated, run the index script first: ```bash python3 scripts/kb-index.py ``` ### Quick Navigation 1. Check the keyword lookup table for matching terms 2. Go to the matching file(s) 3. If no keyword match, browse the category that best fits the question. Categories can be nested (e.g., `security/access/`) — drill down into sub-groups when a broad category has them. ## Step 2: Read Relevant Files Based on the index navigation: 1. Read the most relevant file first 2. Check `related:` links in the frontmatter if the file references other entries 3. Read additional files if the first doesn't fully cover the question ## Step 3: Search (if needed) …

How to install
mdr add techwolf-ai/ai-first-toolkit/kb-answer@sha256:9a212887ac2363f8The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260508.547bdcc, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
