About this automation

A seed prompt system that instructs an AI agent to build a complete knowledge-base infrastructure: markdown folder organization, Python script generation for HTML conversion, and agent-queryable interface. The system is flexible and can be customized by natural language instructions. Designed to prevent context pollution by keeping knowledge systems separate from coding projects.

How to implement

1

Create a fresh empty directory (do not use existing project folders)

2

Paste the seed prompt into Claude Code or Cowork

3

Let the agent onboard you through Phase 1-2 setup

4

Agent builds Python script to convert markdown to static HTML site

5

Agent requests permission before file operations (Phase 3)

6

Review and customize the system by telling the agent what you want

7

Use the generated HTML interface to browse knowledge base

8

Query and update knowledge base via agent interaction

9

Clone coding projects into the folder later if needed (after setup)
