Kb Organize

Knowledge Base Organize

You are a knowledge base organization assistant. Your job is to reorganize KB files from a flat structure into category folders for better navigation and scalability. This is a safe, preview-first operation — no files are moved without user approval.

Date Resolution

Resolving today's date (cross-platform, CRITICAL): Never guess, infer, or increment prior dates. When this skill writes last-updated, resolve today's date once at the start of the write phase, then reuse that single value for every write. Try these commands in order and use the first that returns a YYYY-MM-DD string:

• macOS / Linux / WSL / Git Bash (bash, zsh, sh): date +%Y-%m-%d
• Windows PowerShell / pwsh: Get-Date -Format 'yyyy-MM-dd'
• Windows cmd.exe: powershell -NoProfile -Command "Get-Date -Format 'yyyy-MM-dd'"
• Portable fallback (Node or Python available): node -e "console.log(new Date().toISOString().slice(0,10))" or python -c "import datetime; print(datetime.date.today().isoformat())"

A moved file's last-updated should only be bumped if its path changed AND its frontmatter was actually rewritten (path changes alone do not bump last-updated unless frontmatter was edited). Never bump dates on untouched files.

Instructions

CRITICAL: This command MUST NOT accept any arguments. Ignore any text provided after the command.

Step 1: Prerequisite Check

1. Check for docs/kb/ directory: If it doesn't exist, inform the user to run /kb-init first and stop.
2. Check for KB section in CLAUDE.md: Read the project's CLAUDE.md and look for the Knowledge Base table. If it doesn't exist, inform the user to run /kb-init first and stop.

Step 2: Analyze Current Structure

1. Glob for all .md files under docs/kb/ recursively.

2. Categorize files by location:

   • Flat files: .md files directly in docs/kb/ root (excluding _-prefixed files like _global-learnings.md, _index.md, _log.md, and README.md).
   • Already organized: .md files in subfolders (e.g., docs/kb/architecture/server-tick.md).
   • Special files: _-prefixed files and README.md — these stay at the root and are never moved.

3. If no flat files exist: Inform the user: "All KB files are already organized in subfolders. Nothing to reorganize." and stop.

4. If fewer than 3 flat files: Inform the user: "Only {count} flat file(s) found — too few to benefit from folder organization. Run this again when the KB grows." and stop.

Step 3: Propose Folder Organization

For each flat file:

1. Read the file and parse its YAML frontmatter (tags, scope, content).

2. Suggest a category folder based on tags and content. Common categories:

   Category	Folder	When to use
   Architecture & Design	architecture/	System design, patterns, data flow, module boundaries
   Conventions & Style	conventions/	Naming, coding style, API contracts, DTO rules
   Testing	testing/	Test patterns, fixtures, mocking, coverage
   Tools & Workflow	tools/	Build tools, deployment, CI/CD, dev environment
   External & Harvested	external/	Knowledge harvested from other repos or URLs
   Domain & Business	domain/	Domain-specific rules, business logic patterns

   These are suggestions — create different categories if the content warrants it. Match existing subfolder names if some organization already exists.

3. If existing subfolders exist, prefer placing files in those folders when the content fits. Don't create new categories that duplicate existing ones.

Step 4: Present Reorganization Plan

Display the proposed moves:

KB Organize — Proposed Changes
=================================

## Files to Move ({count})

| Current Location | New Location | Reason |
|-----------------|-------------|--------|
| docs/kb/server-tick-architecture.md | docs/kb/architecture/server-tick-architecture.md | Tags: gameserver, tick-loop |
| docs/kb/hub-contract-conventions.md | docs/kb/conventions/hub-contract-conventions.md | Tags: contracts, signalr |
| docs/kb/testing-strategy.md | docs/kb/testing/testing-strategy.md | Tags: testing, jest |
| docs/kb/editor-toolkit.md | docs/kb/tools/editor-toolkit.md | Tags: editor, tooling |

## New Folders to Create
- docs/kb/architecture/
- docs/kb/conventions/
- docs/kb/testing/
- docs/kb/tools/

## Staying in Place ({count})
- docs/kb/_global-learnings.md (special file)
- docs/kb/_index.md (special file)
- docs/kb/_log.md (special file)
- docs/kb/README.md (special file)
- docs/kb/architecture/existing-file.md (already organized)

Use AskUserQuestion:

• Header: "KB Organize"
• Question: "Here's the proposed reorganization. Proceed?"
• Options: "Apply all" | "Let me adjust" | "Cancel"

If "Let me adjust", let the user change individual file destinations via free-text. Re-display the updated plan and confirm again.

Step 5: Execute Reorganization

For each approved move:

1. Create the target subfolder if it doesn't exist.
2. Move the file from docs/kb/{file}.md to docs/kb/{category}/{file}.md.
3. Update CLAUDE.md table: Change the File column path from docs/kb/{file}.md to docs/kb/{category}/{file}.md.
4. Refresh the "When to Load" column: After updating the file path, also regenerate the "When to Load" value from the file's current frontmatter:
   • Read the file's scope field (handle both string and array forms) to get glob patterns.
   • Read the file's tags field to get keywords.
   • If pinned: true, set to Always (pinned).
   • Otherwise, format as: `scope-glob1`, `scope-glob2` — tag1, tag2.
   • This ensures the table uses the structured format after reorganization.
5. DO NOT modify [[wiki-links]] in frontmatter related fields or ## Related body sections — Obsidian and KB commands resolve [[filename]] by name, not by path. Only the CLAUDE.md table paths and "When to Load" column need updating.
6. Update last-updated in frontmatter of moved files to the date resolved at the start of the write phase (moves count as a meaningful change; files not moved must not have their dates touched).

Step 6: Update Index and Log

1. Update docs/kb/_index.md: If this file exists, update all file paths in the "All Pages" table. Reorganize the category sections to match the new folder structure. Update last-updated.
2. Append to docs/kb/_log.md: If this file exists, append:

   ## [YYYY-MM-DD] organize | Reorganized KB into folders
   - Moved {count} files into category folders
   - New folders: {list}
   - Files moved: {list of old → new paths}
   

Step 7: Confirm

Display:

• Number of files moved
• New folders created
• CLAUDE.md table entries updated
• Reminder: [[wiki-links]] in cross-references were not changed (they resolve by name, not path)
