+description: Turn the user's own content into a verified Knowledge Base their AI agents answer from — with citations. Use when the user says "knowledge base", "train on my content", "train a chatbot on my videos/blog/book", "answer from my content", "verified answers", "citations", "ingest my site / YouTube / PDFs", "connect my knowledge to n8n", or asks why their bot makes things up. Status reads on every plan; provisioning and ingest need Pro. Companion to awesomate-hosting and awesomate-n8n — same connection, same PAT.

+
+# Awesomate Knowledge Base — verified answers from Claude Code
+
+The user's content (videos, podcasts, blog posts, books, socials) becomes an
+isolated knowledge tenant on the Awesomate knowledge platform. Their AI
+agents then answer ONLY from that content, with a numbered citation for
+every claim — no evidence means an honest "I don't know". That refusal is
+the product working, never a bug to paper over.
+
+Most users are business owners: plain words, one question at a time, report
+outcomes ("your bot now answers from your book, here's a cited example"),
+never jargon like "tenant" or "SSE".
+
+**Routing rule:** live facts about THEIR knowledge base come from the tools;
+semantics (citations, quotas, ingest formats) come from the references; the
+platform's answer beats anything you remember.
+
+## 0. First run (every session)
+
+1. `awesomate_whoami` — every knowledge tool acts on whichever ACCOUNT this
+   folder resolves to. Wrong slug → stop and fix the pin/connection first.
+   Watch the `account:` stamp on every response.
+2. `awesomate_knowledge_status` — cache the result:
+   - `available: false` → this hub doesn't serve Knowledge Base yet. Say so
+     honestly, don't retry, offer `awesomate_support` for the timeline.
+   - `upgrade_required: true` → relay the included upsell copy + billing
+     link once, honestly, then help within what reads allow. Never retry
+     into the gate.
+   - `consent.knowledge_platform_enabled: false` → the user must enable it
+     under Settings → Privacy ("Knowledge Platform") in the hub — you
+     cannot flip it for them. Explain what it consents to (their selected
+     content is indexed in Sydney, deletable any time), wait, re-check.
+   - `tenant: null` or `status: 'provisioning'` → not enabled yet /
+     still building; `usage` → month-to-date vs `usage.included` quota.
+3. Only then design: what content exists, what's already ingested
+   (`awesomate_knowledge_sources {action:'list'}`), what the user wants the
+   bot to answer.
+
+## 1. Tools
+
+| Task | Tool |
+|---|---|
+| Tenant state, plan gate, consent, quota, packs (CALL FIRST) | `awesomate_knowledge_status` |
+| Enable the knowledge base (idempotent; 202 = keep polling status) | `awesomate_knowledge_provision` |
+| Sources list / add url·sitemap / remove / ingest jobs | `awesomate_knowledge_sources` |
+| Ask a question → verified answer + numbered sources | `awesomate_knowledge_ask` |
+| Agent persona / fallback message / model tier — get & set | `awesomate_knowledge_agent` |
+| Refresh these skills from the latest package | `awesomate_skill_update` |
+
+Local FILES (PDFs, videos on disk) cannot travel through these tools — send
+the user to the hub's Knowledge → Sources upload page (100 MB per file;
+bigger media by URL). Formats + caps: [ingestion-sources.md](references/ingestion-sources.md).
+
+## 2. References — read on demand
+
+| When | Read |
+|---|---|
+| Choosing/adding sources, estimating ingest cost & time | [ingestion-sources.md](references/ingestion-sources.md) |
+| Explaining citations, refusals, "verified" semantics | [citations-and-grounding.md](references/citations-and-grounding.md) |
+| Wiring the knowledge base into n8n agents | [n8n-connection.md](references/n8n-connection.md) |
+| Quotas, allowances, Ingestion Packs, overage | [quotas-and-packs.md](references/quotas-and-packs.md) |
+
+## 3. The onboarding loop
+
+1. Inventory their public content (site, blog, YouTube, books) — with them.
+2. Propose sources with a rough cost/time estimate
+   ([ingestion-sources.md](references/ingestion-sources.md)) and get
+   EXPLICIT approval — ingest spends real money and quota.
+3. Queue sources (`add`), then poll `{action:'jobs'}` until succeeded;
+   explain "searchable in minutes for pages, longer for media".
+4. Probe with ~5 real questions via `awesomate_knowledge_ask` — show the
+   citations, and show one out-of-scope question refusing (that's the
+   feature).
+5. Connect to n8n via the bundle
+   ([n8n-connection.md](references/n8n-connection.md)) — never hand-build
+   the credential.
+
+## 4. REST fallback (no `awesomate_knowledge_*` tools loaded, or an action with no tool)
+
+Auth exactly as the awesomate-hosting skill: `Authorization: Bearer <pat>`
+from `~/.awesomate/credentials.json` against `<apiBase>` — never echo the
+PAT. Rotate/packs/delete deliberately have NO tool: they're consequential
+enough to route through explicit REST calls the user has just approved.
+
+| Action | Endpoint |
+|---|---|
+| Status / provision / sources / jobs / agent / ask | `GET\|POST /api/knowledge/{status,provision,sources,jobs,agent,chat}` (tool equivalents) |
+| Rotate the n8n query key (after approval) | `POST /api/knowledge/keys/rotate` |
+| Buy an Ingestion Pack (1 credit = $100; after an explicit yes) | `POST /api/knowledge/packs` `{pack}` + `Idempotency-Key` header |
+| Delete a source (approval + it deletes indexed content) | `DELETE /api/knowledge/sources/:id` |
+| Delete the WHOLE knowledge base | hub UI only (owner types the account slug) — never via PAT |
+| Fleet/admin views (Awesomate team) | `/api/fleet/knowledge/*` — admin JWT, not a client PAT |
+
+## 5. Hard rules
+
+- **Never ask for, paste, or echo an API key** — not the platform key, not
+  the PAT, not "just to test". Key handling is the hub's job (rotate via
+  REST above); new secrets go through the awesomate-credentials /
+  secret-drop flow.
+- **Never present an uncited answer as verified.** If
+  `awesomate_knowledge_ask` returns anything but `status: 'ok'` with
+  sources, the verified content has no answer — say exactly that.
+- **Explicit approval before anything that costs:** every ingest (media
+  especially — transcription is the big line), and any Ingestion Pack. A
+  `pack_required` response purchases NOTHING — state the price (1 credit =
+  $100), get a clear yes, then the user buys via the hub or the REST call.
+- **Approval before deleting sources** — removal also deletes the indexed
+  content behind live answers.
+- **Caution on the live agent:** before `awesomate_knowledge_agent
+  {action:'set'}`, read the current config, show exactly what will change,
+  get approval, and read the response back to confirm. Real customers are
+  talking to this agent.
+- **Respect quota honesty:** at/over quota, explain the numbers from
+  `status.usage` — never silently retry or work around a 402/429.

+# Citations, refusals, and what "verified" means
+
+The platform validates every answer server-side before a single byte
+reaches an end customer: the answer must be grounded in retrieved chunks of
+THIS tenant's content and every claim must carry a citation, or the whole
+answer is rejected and retried (at most twice), then refused. n8n relays
+and widgets never see a partial or unvalidated answer.
+
+## The answer envelope (`awesomate_knowledge_ask`, platform `/v1/answer`)
+
+- `status: 'ok'` — validated answer. `answer` is end-user-safe text with
+  numbered markers `[1] [2]`; `sources[]` carries `{ref, title, kind,
+  locator, url}`. Present BOTH — the citations are the product.
+- `status: 'no_results'` — the verified content has nothing on this. The
+  configured fallback wording (tenant's `no_answer_message`) is what an end
+  customer would see. Relay it; never answer from your own knowledge.
+- `status: 'failed_validation'` — the model drafted something that didn't
+  survive the citation gate. The user never sees the draft; treat exactly
+  like no_results.
+- `status: 'error'` — infrastructure problem; suggest trying again, and
+  `awesomate_support` if it persists.
+
+## Rendering citations for humans
+
+`[n]` markers map to `sources[n]`. Locators by kind: book → chapter/page
+("p.42"), video/audio → time range (`t=612-655`; when the source URL is
+public, `url?t=612` deep-links it), blog/web → the canonical URL. Internal

+
+## Explaining refusals to the owner
+
+A refusal on an out-of-scope question is the sales pitch, not an apology:
+"it will never invent an answer in front of your customer". If an IN-scope
+question refuses, that's a coverage gap — check the source list and job
+statuses; the fix is ingesting the content that holds the answer, never
+loosening the gate.

+# Ingestion — what goes in, caps, cost and time
+
+Source of truth: the platform contract (api-v1.md, frozen 2026-08-27). The
+platform enforces the real numbers; these are for setting expectations and
+estimating BEFORE asking approval.
+
+## What can be ingested
+
+| Kind | Via | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| Web page / blog post | `add {url}` | One page per URL; extraction skips pages under ~200 chars of real text |
+| Whole site / blog | `add {sitemap, since?}` | sitemap.xml; default cap 500 pages per job — a bigger sitemap FAILS the job loudly rather than truncating silently. `since` skips entries with older `<lastmod>` |
+| YouTube / hosted video, podcast audio | `add {url}` | Transcribed (Deepgram); language defaults to English |
+| PDF / book / document / markdown | hub upload page | Text layer used; scanned pages OCR'd automatically (`auto` mode, capped at 300 OCR pages per job — over that the job fails BEFORE any vision spend) |
+| Video/audio FILES | hub upload page (≤ 100 MB) | Bigger media: host it and add by URL |
+| Images | hub upload page | Vision-described, then indexed |
+| Facebook export | hub upload page | The platform's facebook-export lane |
+
+Local files never travel through the MCP tools — the hub upload page
+streams them. 100 MB per file through the hub.
+
+## Job lifecycle
+
+`add` returns a job id (202). Poll `awesomate_knowledge_sources
+{action:'jobs'}` — statuses `queued → running → succeeded | failed`.
+Re-adding identical content is cheap: unchanged pages and already-seen
+media are skipped by content hash (`unchanged` / `transcript_cached` in the
+job summary). Typical time-to-searchable: minutes for pages; media takes
+longer (roughly the media's own duration as a worst case).
+
+## Cost expectations (for the approval conversation)
+
+- Text (pages, posts, books): cents to a few dollars for a typical corpus.
+- Media is the big line: transcription ≈ $0.30/media-hour plus enrichment —
+  a 200-hour channel is real money AND real quota (media-hours).
+- Scanned PDFs needing OCR cost per page — the 300-page OCR cap fails the
+  job before surprise spend.
+- Everything counts against the plan allowance first
+  ([quotas-and-packs.md](quotas-and-packs.md)); a `pack_required` response
+  means the allowance is exhausted, and nothing was purchased or queued.
+
+Always: estimate → state it plainly ("about X hours of video — that's ~$Y
+and most of this month's media allowance") → explicit yes → queue.

+# Connecting the knowledge base to n8n
+
+Three pieces, all provisioned by Awesomate — you never build them by hand
+and never touch key material.
+
+## 1. The credential — "Awesomate Knowledge Base"
+
+An `httpHeaderAuth` credential in the client's own n8n holding their
+query-scoped platform key, domain-locked to the knowledge platform host.
+The hub creates it at provisioning time (and repairs it automatically); it
+decides WHOSE content the bot answers from — the scope credential. Rules:
+
+- Never create, copy, or edit it by hand; never ask what's inside it.
+- If it's missing or suspected wrong (bot gets 401s), the fix is
+  `POST /api/knowledge/keys/rotate` (with the user's approval) — the hub
+  mints a fresh key and force-recreates the credential.
+- Never point the tool at a different httpHeaderAuth credential "that also
+  works" — a name-pinned match is deliberate.
+
+## 2. The tool — `knowledge_answer` (fleet tool library)
+
+An HTTP Request Tool the client's AI Agent nodes attach: POST
+`/v1/answer` on the knowledge platform, authenticated by the credential
+above, forwarding the chat `sessionId` as `X-End-User-Session` (so rate
+limits are per end-customer, not per business). `neverError` is ON by
+design: 401/403/429 bodies reach the agent so it can say "the knowledge
+connection needs attention" / "very busy, try again in a minute" instead of
+crashing.
+
+An advanced sibling `knowledge_search` (GET `/v1/query`, raw passages)
+exists in the library but is NOT in the bundle: raw passages bypass the
+server-side citation gate, so it's only for members who knowingly build
+their own agent on top and accept ungated composition.
+
+## 3. The bundle — "Verified Content Chat Agent"
+
+One redeem token installs: the public chat webhook workflow (speaks the
+`@n8n/chat` embed widget contract), a Setup Tool sub-workflow, and the
+"Knowledge Bot Setup" Chat Hub agent whose FIRST action is a connection
+check that reads back "connected to <business name>'s knowledge base with
+N sources" — the human confirmation the scope is right. Every `kb_*`
+variable has a fallback: zero config to first reply.
+
+Flow you drive: confirm the knowledge base is active with indexed content →
+redeem the bundle token (the user gets it from Awesomate) via the hub's
+Templates page or `POST /api/client-settings/redeem {token}` → hand the
+user to "Knowledge Bot Setup" in Chat Hub for greeting/name/origins → the
+setup agent activates and tests the bot and hands over the embed snippet.
+
+If the member already has their own agent workflow, attach the
+`knowledge_answer` tool from the library to it instead — same credential,
+same rules, and the relay must quote `answer` verbatim with its sources.

+## Ingestion Packs (overage)
+
+One pack = **1 credit ($100)**, the user picks the dimension at purchase:
++40 media-hours OR +5,000 pages OR +2,500 answers OR +50 GB-months.
+
+- An ingest that would exceed included+packs returns `pack_required`. The
+  tool response purchases NOTHING and queues NOTHING.
+- Flow: state the price and what the pack adds → explicit yes → the user
+  buys on the hub's Knowledge → Usage page, or you call
+  `POST /api/knowledge/packs {pack}` with an `Idempotency-Key` header after
+  their clear approval. Retries with the same key never double-charge.
+- Insufficient credits → 402 `insufficient_credits`: top up from Billing
+  first. Never loop on it.
+
+## Answer overage
+
+Answers are soft-gated: warnings at 100% of allowance, throttling well past
+it — chat never silently debits credits. If a client consistently outgrows
+the allowance, that's an upgrade/pack conversation, not a workaround.
