SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill automates turning scattered source materials (skillbooks and runbooks in Markdown) into a structured, executable knowledge bundle that includes a main skill, linked runbooks, and standardized artifacts, enabling repeatable deployments and traceability.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Orchestrates the creation of a main skill, linked skillbooks, and runbooks from Markdown sources.
  • Produces standardized artifacts: main_skill.json, skillbook.json, runbook.json, runbook_items.jsonl, and build_report.json.
  • Maintains separation between generic knowledge behavior and problem-specific execution knowledge through evidence and knowledge separation artifacts.

Quick Start

Run the knowledge bootstrap builder to generate a complete main_skill.json, skillbook.json, runbook.json, runbook_items.jsonl, and build_report.json from a pair of skillbook and runbook Markdown files.

Frequently Asked Questions about skillbook-runbook-bootstrap

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I convert markdown runbooks and skillbooks into structured JSON artifacts?

To convert markdown runbooks and skillbooks into structured JSON artifacts, this Skill orchestrates linking runbooks to skillbooks and produces standardized outputs including main_skill.json, skillbook.json, runbook.json, and runbook_items.jsonl.

What is the best way to bootstrap a knowledge bundle from markdown source files?

Bootstrapping a knowledge bundle from markdown source files requires pairing a skillbook and runbook; the builder validates candidate items and generates a complete, ready-to-persist bundle with evidence records for traceability.

Can I use this builder to enforce knowledge separation between generic behavior and execution knowledge?

Yes, the builder enforces knowledge separation by maintaining distinct artifacts for generic knowledge behavior and problem-specific execution knowledge, ensuring standardized evidence records are produced during the bootstrap process.

Do I need a SQLite-backed knowledge store to use the generated runbook artifacts?

The generated runbook artifacts are designed for persistence in a SQLite-backed knowledge store, producing ready-to-run JSON and JSONL files that can be directly deployed to such a database environment.

What artifacts are generated when linking a runbook to a skillbook?

Linking a runbook to a skillbook generates main_skill.json, skillbook.json, runbook.json, runbook_items.jsonl, and build_report.json, which collectively form a complete and traceable executable knowledge bundle.

Why does my markdown runbook need validation during the knowledge bootstrap process?

Markdown runbook validation during the knowledge bootstrap process ensures candidate items meet builder contracts, producing evidence records for traceability and preventing invalid execution knowledge from entering the final structured artifacts.
