To initialise a knowledge base, run this skill after installing the sdlc-knowledge-base plugin. It appends a Knowledge Base section to CLAUDE.md, creates the library/ and library/raw/ directories, and optionally seeds starter files to establish your project's library structure.

The starter pack includes three example library files sourced from Agentic SDLC research. When requested during knowledge base initialisation, these files are seeded into your library directory to provide reference structures for your project's documentation.

Yes, you must install the sdlc-knowledge-base plugin before using this initialisation skill. The plugin provides the core knowledge base functionality, while this skill configures your project by creating the library directory structure and updating CLAUDE.md.

Knowledge base initialisation is idempotent, meaning you can safely run it multiple times. It will not duplicate or overwrite existing configurations in CLAUDE.md or damage your current library/ directory structure and raw files.

Appending a Knowledge Base section to CLAUDE.md integrates project documentation guidelines directly into your AI agent's context file. This ensures the agent recognizes and utilizes the library structure for ongoing software development lifecycle tasks.

The best way to structure a project knowledge base is to append a dedicated section to CLAUDE.md and create a library/ directory with a raw/ subfolder. This separation organizes processed knowledge and raw source materials effectively for AI agents.
