Bring the cards of a knowledge base domain back in line with the code after the code changed: read only what changed in each source (kb stale --diff), fix the lines of the card it touches, stamp the checked cards, in a kb task. Use when kb stale or task fetch reports stale cards, or the user asks to refresh, update or resync the knowledge base. Keywords: stale cards, refresh knowledge base, kb stale, out of date, resync, update cards.
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
# Refresh the stale cards of a domain `harness kb stale --domain <d> --diff` lists the objects whose source changed since their card was written, with the diff of each source. Reading a diff is cheaper than reading the file again, and it shows exactly which lines of a card may be wrong. `harness kb stamp` then records that a card was checked against the code as it is now. Your part: decide what each change means for the card. ## When to Use This Skill - `harness kb stale`, or `kb_cards` from `task fetch`, shows stale cards, and the user said yes to updating them. - The user asks to refresh or update a domain of the knowledge base. **Who starts it: offer.** Say in two lines how many cards are `changed` and `gone`, and that the update goes through a plan and a write-back. Go on after a yes. Asked for by name: go on. ## Prerequisites - The knowledge base is a target repository (`knowledge_base: true`). - A task of kind `kb` for this domain (`harness-my-task`). At most about 20 cards per task; more: do the most used first (`harness kb near <id> --up` counts the users) and say what is left. ## Step-by-Step Workflows …

How to install
mdr add smars-bin-hu/copilot-agentic-harness/generic-kb-refresh@sha256:23f7adc16bef28dbThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261102.d95f023, 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.
