Read
Guides that hold their shape
Editorial pages, local Mermaid diagrams, math, source evidence, chapter navigation, and a precise Markdown download.
A portable research library
Research people can return to.
Agent-KB gives agents a repeatable way to turn reviewed research into a local library for reading, watching, presenting, and listening.
Open source. Local-first. No account or hosted service required to read a library.
The problem
A good answer is not yet a useful body of knowledge.
Research gets stranded in chat history, loose documents, and one-off presentations. Agent-KB keeps the explanation, sources, media, and validation close enough to travel together.
A bounded workflow
Give an agent a clear job. Keep the result inspectable.
-
01
Investigate
Map questions, primary sources, alternatives, and caveats. Keep unpublished work outside the served library.
-
02
Explain
Write guides with a reading path, evidence links, diagrams, and precise claims that can be checked later.
-
03
Publish locally
Serve an ordinary repository. Add reviewed slides, images, video, captions, or narration when they help the reader.
-
04
Verify
Check source identity, links, layout, reader surfaces, and media metadata before sharing the result.
One shared reader
Use the format that helps the idea land.
All of these surfaces come from the same portable content repository. Nothing requires a model or API key to read.
Listen
Narration that follows the guide
Use browser voice as a fallback or attach prepared recordings. A verified guide track can continue through its chapters.
Watch
Video with context
Native playback, captions, transcripts, chapter selection, download links, and byte-range seeking from a verified local cache.
Present
Slides that keep the evidence nearby
Simple deck navigation, keyboard controls, speaker notes, and source links let a presentation stay connected to the guide.
Designed for handoff
The workflow lives in the repository.
The included skill, templates, authoring guide, and validation commands describe what to make, where it belongs, and how to inspect it. A smaller model has completed the bundled cold-start exercise from those materials alone; it is an example of reproducibility, not a claim that all models have the same research judgment.

Make a library you can keep.
Clone the repository with Node 22 or newer, initialize a new library, then serve it on your own machine. Chromium is only needed for browser validation and narration plans.
git clone https://github.com/fakoli/agent-knowledge-base.git
cd agent-knowledge-base
npm ci
npx playwright install chromium
npm link
kb init ../my-library --name 'My Library'
cd ../my-library
kb serve
