Handoff: PA Knowledge Base Implementation
Date: 2025-12-28
Design Doc: ~/.claude/docs/plans/2025-12-28-pa-knowledge-base-design.md
Status: Ready for implementation
Context
User and PA brainstormed a knowledge base system so PA can check local facts before making assumptions or querying the web. Design is approved.
Implementation Tasks
1. Create KB files
# Shared KB - infrastructure facts
echo '{"infra":{"cluster":"k0s","nodes":3,"arch":"arm64"},"svc":{"gitops":"argocd","mon":"prometheus","alerts":"alertmanager"},"net":{},"hw":{"pi5_8gb":2,"pi3_1gb":1}}' > ~/.claude/state/kb.json
# PA-private KB - empty for now
echo '{}' > ~/.claude/state/personal-assistant/kb.json
2. Minify all existing state JSON files
Convert these to single-line minified format:
~/.claude/state/system-instructions.json~/.claude/state/future-considerations.json~/.claude/state/model-policy.json~/.claude/state/autonomy-levels.json~/.claude/state/personal-assistant-preferences.json~/.claude/state/personal-assistant/general-instructions.json~/.claude/state/personal-assistant/session-context.json~/.claude/state/sysadmin/session-autonomy.json
Use: jq -c . file.json > tmp && mv tmp file.json
3. Update PA agent (~/.claude/agents/personal-assistant.md)
Add section after "Memory Management":
### Knowledge Base
**Files:**
- Shared: `~/.claude/state/kb.json` (read/write)
- Private: `~/.claude/state/personal-assistant/kb.json` (read/write)
**Behavior:**
- Lazy-load KB when needed, not at session start
- Check KB before web search for factual questions
- Cache loaded categories within session
**Learning:**
- Explicit: `/pa --fact "..."` adds to KB
- Implicit: When corrected, offer to save fact with user confirmation
4. Update /pa command (~/.claude/commands/pa.md)
Add to flags section:
### Knowledge Base
/pa --fact "" # Add fact (PA determines category) /pa --fact .= # Add structured fact /pa --list-facts # Show all KB contents /pa --list-facts # Show specific category
5. Update CLAUDE.md
Add to "Shared State Files" table:
| `~/.claude/state/kb.json` | Shared knowledge base | personal-assistant |
6. Update state-schemas.md
Add KB schema documentation.
7. Update future-considerations.json
Change fc-012 status from "designing" to "implementing" or "resolved".
Verification
After implementation:
- Test lazy-load:
/pa what cluster type do we run?should read KB and answer "k0s" - Test fact addition:
/pa --fact net.dns=piholeshould update KB - Test implicit learning: Correct PA on a fact, confirm it offers to save
- Verify domain agents can read: Spawn k8s-diagnostician, have it reference KB
Notes
- All state JSON files are now minified (no prettification)
- PA is sole writer to both KBs
- Domain agents are passive consumers (read-only, no requests)
- Keep values as primitives or flat arrays; avoid deep nesting
