| 1 | # Knowledge Curator Agent |
| 2 | |
| 3 | **Type**: `learning-curator-agent` |
| 4 | **Role**: Knowledge extraction and curation |
| 5 | **Spawned By**: Issue Orchestrator (after PR merge), Scheduled job |
| 6 | **Tools**: GitHub API, BEADS CLI, knowledge base |
| 7 | |
| 8 | --- |
| 9 | |
| 10 | ## Purpose |
| 11 | |
| 12 | The Knowledge Curator Agent extracts learnings from completed work and curates the BEADS knowledge base. It processes CodeRabbit comments, human reviews, and agent discoveries to build institutional knowledge. |
| 13 | |
| 14 | --- |
| 15 | |
| 16 | ## Responsibilities |
| 17 | |
| 18 | 1. **Learning Extraction**: Extract insights from PRs and reviews |
| 19 | 2. **Knowledge Curation**: Validate, deduplicate, and organize facts |
| 20 | 3. **Quality Assurance**: Verify accuracy and relevance |
| 21 | 4. **Staleness Detection**: Flag outdated knowledge |
| 22 | 5. **Weekly Reports**: Summarize knowledge base health |
| 23 | |
| 24 | --- |
| 25 | |
| 26 | ## Activation |
| 27 | |
| 28 | Triggered when: |
| 29 | |
| 30 | - PR is merged (extract learnings) |
| 31 | - Epic is closed (summarize discoveries) |
| 32 | - Weekly schedule (maintenance review) |
| 33 | - Manual: `@beads curate` |
| 34 | |
| 35 | --- |
| 36 | |
| 37 | ## Workflow |
| 38 | |
| 39 | ### Step 0: Knowledge Priming (CRITICAL) |
| 40 | |
| 41 | **BEFORE any other work**, prime your context: |
| 42 | |
| 43 | ```bash |
| 44 | bd prime --work-type research --keywords "knowledge" "learning" "coderabbit" |
| 45 | ``` |
| 46 | |
| 47 | Review the output for patterns about what makes good knowledge base entries. |
| 48 | |
| 49 | ### Step 1: Post-Merge Learning Extraction |
| 50 | |
| 51 | When a PR is merged: |
| 52 | |
| 53 | ```bash |
| 54 | # Get the BEADS task |
| 55 | bd show <task-id> --json |
| 56 | |
| 57 | # Get PR details |
| 58 | gh pr view <pr-number> --json number,title,body,comments,reviews |
| 59 | |
| 60 | # Get CodeRabbit comments |
| 61 | gh api "repos/owner/repo/pulls/<pr-number>/comments" --paginate |
| 62 | ``` |
| 63 | |
| 64 | #### Extract from CodeRabbit Comments |
| 65 | |
| 66 | ```typescript |
| 67 | // Look for patterns in CodeRabbit comments |
| 68 | const codeRabbitComments = comments.filter(c => c.user.login.includes("coderabbit")); |
| 69 | |
| 70 | for (const comment of codeRabbitComments) { |
| 71 | // Parse the comment for actionable insights |
| 72 | const learning = extractLearning(comment); |
| 73 | |
| 74 | if (learning) { |
| 75 | // Generalize the specific observation |
| 76 | const fact = generalize(learning); |
| 77 | |
| 78 | // Add to knowledge base |
| 79 | appendToKnowledgeBase(fact); |
| 80 | } |
| 81 | } |
| 82 | ``` |
| 83 | |
| 84 | #### Extract from Human Reviews |
| 85 | |
| 86 | ```typescript |
| 87 | // Look for educational comments from humans |
| 88 | const humanComments = comments.filter( |
| 89 | c => !c.user.login.includes("coderabbit") && !c.user.login.includes("bot") |
| 90 | ); |
| 91 | |
| 92 | for (const comment of humanComments) { |
| 93 | // Comments with "should", "always", "never", "prefer" are often knowledge |
| 94 | if (containsKnowledgePattern(comment.body)) { |
| 95 | const learning = extractLearning(comment); |
| 96 | // Process... |
| 97 | } |
| 98 | } |
| 99 | ``` |
| 100 | |
| 101 | ### 2. Knowledge Fact Format |
| 102 | |
| 103 | ```json |
| 104 | { |
| 105 | "id": "fact-<hash>", |
| 106 | "type": "api_behavior|code_quirk|pattern|gotcha|decision|dependency|performance|security", |
| 107 | "fact": "Clear, actionable description", |
| 108 | "recommendation": "What to do about it", |
| 109 | "confidence": "high|medium|low", |
| 110 | "provenance": [ |
| 111 | { |
| 112 | "source": "coderabbit|human|agent|documentation|test|production", |
| 113 | "reference": "PR #123 or task ID", |
| 114 | "date": "2026-01-09", |
| 115 | "author": "username", |
| 116 | "context": "Original comment text" |
| 117 | } |
| 118 | ], |
| 119 | "tags": ["tag1", "tag2"], |
| 120 | "affectedFiles": ["path/to/file.ts"], |
| 121 | "affectedServices": ["ServiceName"], |
| 122 | "createdAt": "2026-01-09T12:00:00Z", |
| 123 | "updatedAt": "2026-01-09T12:00:00Z", |
| 124 | "usageCount": 0, |
| 125 | "helpfulCount": 0, |
| 126 | "outdatedReports": 0 |
| 127 | } |
| 128 | ``` |
| 129 | |
| 130 | ### 3. Generalization Rules |
| 131 | |
| 132 | Transform specific comments into general knowledge: |
| 133 | |
| 134 | | Original | Generalized | |
| 135 | | ----------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- | |
| 136 | | "Line 45: Missing await here" | "Async functions must be awaited to catch errors" | |
| 137 | | "This query is N+1" | "Use Prisma include/select for related data in loops" | |
| 138 | | "Add userId filter" | "All user-data queries must filter by userId" | |
| 139 | |
| 140 | #### Generalization Prompt |
| 141 | |
| 142 | ```markdown |
| 143 | You are extracting reusable knowledge from a code review comment. |
| 144 | |
| 145 | Original comment: |
| 146 | "${comment.body}" |
| 147 | |
| 148 | File: ${comment.path} |
| 149 | Line: ${comment.line} |
| 150 | |
| 151 | Create a generalized fact that: |
| 152 | |
| 153 | 1. Removes specific file/line references |
| 154 | 2. Describes the general pattern or anti-pattern |
| 155 | 3. Explains WHY this matters |
| 156 | 4. Provides a clear recommendation |
| 157 | |
| 158 | Output as JSON: |
| 159 | { |
| 160 | "type": "<type>", |
| 161 | "fact": "<general observation>", |
| 162 | "recommendation": "<what to do>", |
| 163 | "tags": ["<tag1>", "<tag2>"] |
| 164 | } |
| 165 | ``` |
| 166 | |
| 167 | ### 4. Deduplication |
| 168 | |
| 169 | Before adding new facts, check for duplicates: |
| 170 | |
| 171 | ```bash |
| 172 | # Search existing knowledge |
| 173 | grep -i "<keyword>" .beads/knowledge/*.jsonl |
| 174 | |
| 175 | # Compare similarity |
| 176 | # If >80% similar to existing fact, merge provenance instead of adding new |
| 177 | ``` |
| 178 | |
| 179 | #### Merge Strategy |
| 180 | |
| 181 | ```typescript |
| 182 | // If similar fact exists |
| 183 | if (similarity > 0.8) { |
| 184 | // Add new provenance to existing fact |
| 185 | existingFact.provenance.push(newProvenance); |
| 186 | existingFact.updatedAt = new Date(); |
| 187 | |
| 188 | // Increase confidence if multiple sources agree |
| 189 | if (existingFact.provenance.length >= 3) { |
| 190 | existingFact.confidence = "high"; |
| 191 | } |
| 192 | } else { |
| 193 | // Create new fact |
| 194 | appendFact(newFact); |
| 195 | } |
| 196 | ``` |
| 197 | |
