Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Knowledge Wiki Maintain a persistent, structured knowledge base in the `knowledge/` directory. ## Core Operations ### 1. Ingest — User shares an article, document, or resource 1. Read and understand the source material 2. Extract key facts, insights, and structured knowledge 3. Determine the appropriate subdirectory: - Read `knowledge/index.md` to see existing categories - If a matching category exists, follow that structure - If not, create a new subdirectory with a clear name 4. Create the knowledge page: `knowledge/<category>/<slug>.md` 5. Update `knowledge/index.md` and append to `knowledge/log.md` ### 2. Synthesize — Conversation produces valuable structured knowledge 1. Create a knowledge page under the appropriate category 2. Update related pages with cross-references 3. Update `knowledge/index.md` and `knowledge/log.md` ### 3. Query — User asks about accumulated knowledge 1. Check `knowledge/index.md` (already in your context) for relevant pages 2. Read specific pages with the `read` tool 3. Supplement with `memory_search` if needed ## Page Format ```markdown # Page Title > Source: <URL or description of the original material> Content here. Cross-reference related pages w

What does the knowledge-wiki skill do?
Manage the personal knowledge wiki. Use when the user shares articles, documents, or asks to organize knowledge; when a conversation produces insights worth preserving as structured knowledge; or when the user asks about the knowledge base.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add zhayujie/CowAgent --skill knowledge-wiki --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From zhayujie/CowAgent, a repository with 46,311 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
