-# Build a team knowledge base through conversation
-
-Knowledge base turns conversations into shared team context. Teach the agent
-about people, systems, decisions, and standing preferences. Three server
-tools read, search, and write human-readable markdown pages; a conventions
-skill shapes each write; and a daily schedule merges duplicates and rebuilds
-the index. A fresh session retrieves what an earlier conversation captured.
-
-Use this project when people should curate organizational knowledge through
-chat. Use [Codebase wiki](/docs/example-agents/codebase-wiki.md) when merged PRs should maintain
-feature documentation instead.
-
-[Browse the knowledge base source.](https://github.com/cursor/cursor/tree/main/packages/agent-serve/examples/knowledge-base/)
-
-## Keep shared knowledge on the filesystem
-
-The knowledge base lives outside any session workspace, in
-`.agent-serve/wiki/` by default. `KNOWLEDGE_BASE_DIR` overrides the location,
-and the tools resolve it on every call, so tests and evals can point the same
-code at a temp directory.
-
-The store enforces its own safety:
-
-- Page ids are one to three lowercase kebab-case segments, so a page id
-  can't escape the wiki directory.
-- Pages cap at 64 KiB. Oversized writes fail with instructions to split
-  the page.
-- `wiki_write` replaces whole pages. The instructions require reading a
-  page before updating it, so rewrites carry existing facts forward.
-
-Every page is plain markdown. You can open the wiki in an editor,
-review it in a PR, or grep it.
-
-## Follow a fact through the agent
-
-1. You tell the agent something durable: a system, an owner, a standing
-   preference.
-2. The instructions require a `wiki_search` before claiming knowledge
-   and a `wiki_write` after learning something worth keeping.
-3. The `wiki-conventions` skill picks the page id (`staging-database`,
-   `people/jane-doe`), the page shape, and the dated fact format.
-4. The tool writes the page under the durable wiki root and returns
-   whether it created or updated the page.
-5. A later session, on any channel, finds the fact with `wiki_search`
-   and cites the knowledge-base page in its answer.
-
-Ephemeral chatter stays out. The instructions tell the model to skip
-one-off questions and to ask before saving anything borderline.
-
-## Map the knowledge-base files
-
-| File | Purpose |
-| --- | --- |
-| [`agent/agent.ts`](https://github.com/cursor/cursor/blob/main/packages/agent-serve/examples/knowledge-base/agent/agent.ts) | Selects the local runtime and model. |
-| [`agent/instructions.md`](https://github.com/cursor/cursor/blob/main/packages/agent-serve/examples/knowledge-base/agent/instructions.md) | Sets the read-before-answer and save-after-learning policy. |
-| [`agent/lib/wiki-store.ts`](https://github.com/cursor/cursor/blob/main/packages/agent-serve/examples/knowledge-base/agent/lib/wiki-store.ts) | Validates page ids, lists, reads, writes, and searches the knowledge base. |
-| [`agent/tools/wiki_read.ts`](https://github.com/cursor/cursor/blob/main/packages/agent-serve/examples/knowledge-base/agent/tools/wiki_read.ts) | Reads one page or lists every page with titles and timestamps. |
-| [`agent/tools/wiki_search.ts`](https://github.com/cursor/cursor/blob/main/packages/agent-serve/examples/knowledge-base/agent/tools/wiki_search.ts) | Searches titles and bodies with per-page match lines. |
-| [`agent/tools/wiki_write.ts`](https://github.com/cursor/cursor/blob/main/packages/agent-serve/examples/knowledge-base/agent/tools/wiki_write.ts) | Creates or replaces a page and reports created versus updated. |
-| [`agent/skills/wiki-conventions.md`](https://github.com/cursor/cursor/blob/main/packages/agent-serve/examples/knowledge-base/agent/skills/wiki-conventions.md) | Names pages, shapes them, and dates every fact. |
-| [`agent/schedules/gardener.md`](https://github.com/cursor/cursor/blob/main/packages/agent-serve/examples/knowledge-base/agent/schedules/gardener.md) | Merges duplicates, rebuilds the index, and flags stale facts daily. |
-| [`agent/lib/wiki-store.test.ts`](https://github.com/cursor/cursor/blob/main/packages/agent-serve/examples/knowledge-base/agent/lib/wiki-store.test.ts) | Unit-tests slug safety and store round-trips. |
-| [`agent/storage.ts`](https://github.com/cursor/cursor/blob/main/packages/agent-serve/examples/knowledge-base/agent/storage.ts) | Persists sessions and events with `cursorHostedStorage`. |
-| [`evals/evals.config.ts`](https://github.com/cursor/cursor/blob/main/packages/agent-serve/examples/knowledge-base/evals/evals.config.ts) | Caps eval run concurrency. |
-| [`evals/knowledge.eval.ts`](https://github.com/cursor/cursor/blob/main/packages/agent-serve/examples/knowledge-base/evals/knowledge.eval.ts) | Seeds a temp knowledge base and gates recall, save, and no-write decisions. |
-
-There is no authored channel, MCP connection, subagent, hook, or A/B
-experiment. The wiki directory is the durable knowledge store.
-
-## Prepare the example
-
-You need:
-
-- Node 22.13 or newer.
-- An agent-runtime credential for model turns.
-
-Nothing else. The wiki is created on first write.
-
-## Validate the surface
-
-```bash
-agent-sdk validate --dir examples/knowledge-base
-agent-sdk info --dir examples/knowledge-base --json
-```
-
-The manifest should report three server tools, one skill, and one
-schedule.
-
-## Exercise the store without a model turn
-
-```bash
-agent-sdk call wiki_write \
-  --dir examples/knowledge-base \
-  --input '{"page":"staging-database","content":"# Staging database\n\n- Port: 6432 (recorded 2026-07-19)\n"}'
-
-agent-sdk call wiki_search \
-  --dir examples/knowledge-base \
-  --input '{"query":"6432"}'
-
-agent-sdk call wiki_read --dir examples/knowledge-base --input '{}'
-```
-
-Invalid page ids fail fast. Try `{"page":"../escape"}` and the tool
-returns the validation error instead of touching the filesystem.
-
-## Prove recall across sessions
-
-```bash
-agent-sdk dev examples/knowledge-base
-```
-
-Teach it something in the playground:
-
-> Remember: our staging database is Postgres at
-> staging-db.internal.example.com, port 6432 via PgBouncer. Jane Doe
-> owns it.
-
-The trace shows the conventions skill load, then `wiki_write` calls
-for `staging-database`, `people/jane-doe`, and `index`. Start a new
-session and ask:
-
-> What port does our staging database use, and who owns it?
-
-The fresh session finds the answer with `wiki_search` and `wiki_read`
-and cites the pages. The conversation history is empty; the wiki is the
-source of truth.
-
-## Run the gardener
-
-The `gardener` schedule fires at 06:00 UTC and rewrites the wiki for
-consistency: merge near-duplicate pages, rebuild `index`, and flag
-facts older than 90 days. Under `agent-sdk dev`, timers don't auto-fire.
-Trigger it by hand:
-
-```bash
-curl -s -X POST http://127.0.0.1:3000/knowledge-base/v1/dev/schedules/gardener
-```
-
-## Run the evals
-
-```bash
-agent-sdk eval --dir examples/knowledge-base --list
-agent-sdk eval --dir examples/knowledge-base knowledge/recall
-```
-
-The eval file seeds a temp directory through `KNOWLEDGE_BASE_DIR`
-inside the cases, so the durable knowledge base never sees test data.
-`knowledge/recall` proves the fact comes from disk, not the conversation.
-`knowledge/save`
-gates the write decision, and `knowledge/no-write-on-ephemera` proves small
-talk stays out of the knowledge base.
-
-## Reuse the knowledge-base pattern
-
-Copy this shape when an agent needs durable, inspectable team knowledge:
-
-- Resolve the storage root lazily behind an environment override.
-- Validate identifiers in the store, not in the prompt.
-- Put naming and structure conventions in a skill so writes stay
-  consistent.
-- Add a consolidation schedule instead of letting pages rot.
-

-# Investigate every alert in its own Slack thread
-
-This agent is an on-call teammate. Alert feeds post into an alerts channel
-as bots. Each new alert dispatches an investigation session pinned to that
-post's thread: the agent reacts 👀 the moment it locks in, investigates
-immediately, and posts brief findings backed by evidence it observed.
-Replies in the thread reach it only after the thread has been quiet for
-about a minute, and reminder tools let it wake itself later to re-check a
-baseline or confirm an alert cleared.
-
-Use this example when alerts land in Slack and you want one thread-scoped
-investigation per alert, with an agent that paces its own engagement
-instead of answering every message.
-
-[Browse the current alert-investigator source.](https://github.com/cursor/cursor/tree/main/packages/agent-serve/examples/oncall/)
-
-## Follow an alert
-
-1. An alert feed (Alertmanager, PagerDuty, Datadog) posts a new top-level
-   message in the watched alerts channel.
-2. The channel watch accepts it. `includeBotPosts` lets bot authors
-   through; the agent's own posts always stay dropped.
-3. The handler reacts 👀 on the alert post and sets "Investigating…"
-   typing. The reaction is the lock-in signal: this alert has an owner.
-4. The Agent SDK creates a session keyed to the alert's thread and dispatches
-   immediately. New alerts get no debounce.
-5. The agent reads the alert, gathers evidence, and posts findings to the
-   thread once it has a hypothesis.
-6. People discuss in the thread. Replies buffer per thread and dispatch as
-   one coalesced follow-up after roughly a minute of quiet.
-7. The agent arms reminders for anything that needs time and posts interim
-   updates when new evidence changes the picture.
-
-Mentions and DMs skip the watch entirely and behave like ordinary chat.

-## Let bot posts through the watch
-
-Channel watching drops bot-authored posts by default so two agents can
-never feed each other. Alert channels invert the assumption: the posts
-worth watching come from bots. `channelPosts.includeBotPosts` opts in per
-channel:
-
-```ts
-engagement: {
-  channelPosts: {
-    allow: ["#alerts"],
-    posts: "all",
-    includeBotPosts: true,
-  },
-},
-```
-
-Loop safety survives the opt-in. The pack matches the watching app's own
-posts by the `bot_id` and bot user id from `auth.test` and drops them, so
-the agent's findings never re-dispatch it. Posts that mention the bot stay
-on the mention path.
-
-`posts: "all"` also delivers thread replies. The handler, not the pack,
-decides their pace.
-
-## Pace the engagement
-
-The example runs two rhythms:
-
-- A new alert dispatches immediately.
-- Thread replies produce one engagement per lull.
-
-The pack's `debounceMs` is per message; it exists to let edits settle. This
-agent needs a per-thread window instead, so the handler owns it
-([`lib/thread-debounce.ts`](https://github.com/cursor/cursor/blob/main/packages/agent-serve/examples/oncall/agent/lib/thread-debounce.ts)).
-Every reply restarts a 60-second timer keyed by thread. Superseded waiters
-resolve `null` and the handler returns `null` for them. When the thread
-goes quiet, the newest waiter receives the whole batch and dispatches one
-follow-up that lists every message with mentionable attribution.
-
-Two details make the window matter. A follow-up that arrives while a turn
-runs preempts that turn (latest message wins), so engaging per message
-would keep cancelling the investigation. And @mentions bypass the window
-through Slack's mention path, so a person who needs the agent now still
-gets it now.
-
-## Schedule your own re-checks
-
-Investigations rarely finish in one pass. A baseline comparison needs 20
-minutes of data. An alert that cleared may re-fire. The example hands the
-model three tools over `host.reminders`:
-
-- `reminders_create` arms a one-shot (`delay: "20m"`) or recurring
-  (`every: "30m"` with a plain-language stop condition) wake bound to the
-  thread's conversation.
-- `reminders_list` shows the thread's standing watches.
-- `reminders_cancel` disarms one, and refuses ids that belong to another
-  thread's conversation.
-
-When a reminder fires, its prompt returns to the same session as a
-follow-up turn, and the reply lands in the alert thread. The instructions
-keep wake prompts generic (re-read live state instead of replaying stale
-numbers) and wake replies to one line, for example "re-checked p99 on
-api-gateway: 120ms, back at baseline, cancelling the watch."
-
-Keep these tool filenames if you copy the design: the framework's reminder
-fire prompt tells the model to call `reminders_cancel` by name when a stop
-condition is set.
-
-## Alert people mid-investigation
-
-The final reply of each turn posts to the thread on its own.
-`post_thread_update` covers evidence that shouldn't wait for the turn to
-finish: it posts a one-or-two-sentence update through the agent's token,
-with `<@USERID>` mentions for the people who need to act. The instructions
-restrict it to changes in hypothesis, severity, or blast radius. Progress
-narration doesn't qualify.
-
-## Connect the Slack app
-
-Channel watching is Socket Mode only, so this example uses a dedicated
-app:
-
-```bash
-agent-sdk slack create --dir examples/oncall --name "Oncall" --channel-posts
-agent-sdk slack doctor --prefix ONCALL
-```
-
-`--channel-posts` prefills channel-watch events (`message.channels` /
-`message.groups`). Invite the bot to each watched channel after the
-wizard finishes.
-
-`ONCALL_ALERTS_CHANNELS` sets the watch list as comma-separated ids or
-`#names`. It defaults to `#alerts`.
-
-Wire observability MCP servers under `agent/mcp-connections/` so evidence
-gathering reaches your logs, metrics, and dashboards. The example ships
-none; without them the agent works from the alert text, its links, and the
-thread.
-
-## Validate and start the server
-
-```bash
-agent-sdk validate --dir examples/oncall
-agent-sdk info --dir examples/oncall --json
-agent-sdk dev examples/oncall
-```
-
-The info output lists four server tools and the watched channel on the
-`slack-app` channel. Missing tokens leave that channel idle without
-stopping the server.
-
-In dev mode, reminder timers don't auto-fire. List and fire them by hand
-through the dev routes described in
-[Schedules and reminders](/docs/reference/schedules.md#dispatch-and-dev-mode).
-
-## Test the policy without Slack
-
-The engagement policy is plain code with unit tests:
-
-```bash
-pnpm exec vitest run examples/oncall
-```
-
-The integration test drives a synthetic Events API delivery through the
-real parse, watch, and dispatch plumbing. It asserts a bot alert
-dispatches pinned to its thread after the lock-in reaction, the agent's
-own posts never loop, and replies coalesce behind the quiet window.
-
-The smoke eval spends a model turn:
-
-```bash
-agent-sdk eval --dir examples/oncall smoke --json
-```
-
-It checks identity and the reminder-tool route lexically. It doesn't prove
-Slack delivery or reaction behavior; the unit tests cover the dispatch
-side, and a live check needs the dedicated app connected.
-
-## Build an alert investigator
-
-Use this structure when a bot feed should drive thread-scoped work:
-
-1. Watch the feed channel with `includeBotPosts: true` and a narrow
-   allowlist.
-2. Acknowledge on the triggering post before dispatching, so people see
-   ownership without opening the thread.
-3. Dispatch new items immediately; coalesce thread chatter behind a
-   per-thread quiet window.
-4. Give the agent reminder tools for anything that needs time, and make
-   cancel discipline part of the instructions.
-5. Keep every posted message brief and tied to evidence the agent saw.
