Personal Knowledge Base
The knowledge base is ChemAgent's long-term structured knowledge store. Unlike time-ordered memory, it organizes project material by topic, concept, entity, and source as interlinked Markdown pages.
Knowledge and memory
| Dimension | Knowledge base | Long-term memory |
|---|---|---|
| Organization | Topics and cross-links | Timeline and dated records |
| Writing | Agent structures and maintains pages | Context trimming and explicit memory updates |
| Content | Refined concepts, entities, sources, and project documents | Conversation summaries, events, and durable facts |
| Primary use | Technical reference and project understanding | Conversation continuity and preferences |
Workspace structure
knowledge/
├── index.md
├── log.md
├── concepts/
├── entities/
└── sources/- ✓index.md
The reviewed entry point for navigation and high-value pages.
- ✓log.md
A change trail for knowledge writes and maintenance operations.
- ✓Flexible categories
The Agent can create categories that match the actual engineering material rather than forcing a fixed taxonomy.
Automatic organization
- ✓Documents and links
Imported material can be converted into searchable text, digests, and structured pages.
- ✓Conversation conclusions
Valuable conclusions can be written into existing or new knowledge pages with related links.
- ✓Explicit curation
Users can ask the Agent to organize, move, rewrite, or maintain the knowledge set.
- ✓Cross-links
Relationships between pages form an inspectable knowledge graph.
Retrieval and traceability
- ✓Index lookup
Navigate from the reviewed knowledge index and directory tree.
- ✓Keyword and semantic search
Locate exact project terms and semantically related pages.
- ✓Direct document access
Open a referenced page from the Web console or from a link in an Agent response.
- ✓Source review
Keep original material, digest, page links, and revision context sufficient for engineering verification.
Web console operations
Use a searchable tree to open, create, and edit knowledge pages.
Add PDF and Word material, track asynchronous parsing, and retain access to the original file.
Explore relationships between documents, concepts, entities, and sources.
Run health check, organize, and maintain actions from the Knowledge surface.
Commands
| Command | Purpose |
|---|---|
/knowledge | Show knowledge-base statistics |
/knowledge list | Display the directory tree |
/knowledge on | Enable knowledge prompts and indexing |
/knowledge off | Disable knowledge prompts and indexing |
Governance boundary
Do not mix unrelated projects, customers, or document revisions without explicit labels, source ownership, and review. Knowledge assists engineering judgement; it does not replace source documents or controlled records.
