interknow

Knowledge compounding for Claude Code.

What this does

interknow is a durable pattern repository — it stores lessons learned from code reviews, debugging sessions, and architectural decisions so they compound across sessions instead of being forgotten.

Each knowledge entry is a markdown file with YAML frontmatter tracking provenance (independent vs primed), domain tags, evidence anchors (file paths, commit SHAs), and a lastConfirmed timestamp. Entries that go 10 reviews without independent confirmation decay to archive, preventing stale knowledge from polluting future sessions.

The plugin includes a qmd MCP server for semantic search across entries, so you can ask "what do we know about database migrations?" and get relevant entries ranked by similarity.

Installation

First, add the interagency marketplace (one-time setup):

/plugin marketplace add mistakeknot/interagency-marketplace

Then install the plugin:

/plugin install interknow

Usage

Compound a new pattern after solving a problem:

/interknow:compound

Or ask naturally:

"document what we just learned about SQLite WAL mode"
"save this debugging pattern for next time"

Query existing knowledge:

/interknow:recall

Or:

"what do we know about shell portability?"
"recall knowledge about hook timing"

When `stat` fails on a missing file, fall back to epoch 0 (not current time).
Using current time would skip all staleness checks...
