Agents

Beyond the MCP server, LOKF bundles a set of agent skills — self-contained instructions that teach a coding agent (Claude Code and compatible harnesses) how to work with LOKF bundles. They ship inside the lokf package, so uv pip install lokf puts them one command away.

Listing and installing

lokf skills list        # name + one-line summary for each bundled skill
lokf skills path        # print the directory the skills live in
lokf skills install     # copy them into .claude/skills (or --dest DIR)

lokf skills install copies the skill folders into your project’s .claude/skills/ (override the target with --dest), where a coding agent picks them up automatically.

The bundled skills

LOKF ships five skills. Each is a SKILL.md of instructions that drive the real lokf CLI — one for the whole workflow, four for the individual phases:

Skill	What it does
build-knowledge-base	Stand up a bundle end-to-end — create the index, author concepts, enrich relations, validate, and query. The starting point for a new knowledge base.
author-concept	Scaffold a new concept with the right type, frontmatter, and body, then inspect its RDF. For adding a metric, dataset, table, glossary term, service, or playbook.
enrich-relations	Turn plain markdown links into typed RDF relations with lokf propose, review the suggestions, then apply the good ones.
query-knowledge-base	Answer a question by writing SPARQL and running lokf query — look up concepts, counts, or provenance chains instead of reading files by hand.
publish-graph	Serve a bundle with lokf serve for a SPARQL endpoint and live graph explorer, and drive /sparql programmatically.

Installing the toolkit

The skills, the lokf CLI, and the lokf-mcp server all come from the same package. Install it however you manage Python:

uv

uv pip install lokf

pip

pip install lokf

That gives you:

• the lokf CLI (convert, query, serve, propose, vocab, skills, mcp),
• the lokf-mcp stdio server for MCP clients, and
• the bundled skills, reachable via lokf skills.

The core install is lean — typer, rdflib, pyoxigraph, and mcp. Only regenerating the LinkML-derived artifacts needs the heavier linkml dependency, which lives behind the lokf[build] extra (uv pip install 'lokf[build]'). See Getting started for the from-source setup.
