Canonical kip knowledge-store patterns for any process or agent: recall prior facts before work, assert decisions/gate outcomes/rejections as structured facts after work, resolve entities with explicit --model sonnet, and invoke the CLI Windows-safely via node packages/kip-sdk/dist/cli/kip.js when kip is not on PATH.

# kip-librarian

You are **kip-librarian** - a specialized skill prescribing the canonical kip knowledge-store lifecycle for any process or agent: recall prior facts before work, assert structured facts after work, resolve entities with an explicit strong model, and invoke the CLI safely on every platform including Windows.

## Overview

This skill prescribes the recall-at-start / assert-at-end lifecycle:

- **Recall before work**: query the store for prior facts, decisions, and rejections on the topic before doing anything.
- **Assert after work**: persist decisions, gate outcomes, and rejection reasons as structured facts so future runs can recall them.
- **Resolve with care**: entity resolution always uses an explicit strong model; merges never happen without a gate.

It closes the library's biggest systemic gap - kip appears in only ~58 of 2191 process files - by making integration copy-paste cheap instead of research-expensive. This skill **prescribes the bar rather than executes it**: retrofit batches stamp this contract into older processes, and new processes adopt it directly.
