AgentLib v1.1.0 — Zero-Server Mode

AgentLib no longer requires an MCP server. The agent navigates preprocessed files directly using a skill that teaches the navigation pattern.

What changed

  • No MCP server — removed .mcp.json, no process to manage
  • File-based navigation — agent reads catalog.json → concepts.json → chunks/*.md directly
  • Smart skill trigger — keyword-rich description activates automatically for research/knowledge questions
  • Compact files on disk — manifest.compact.json (~500-2k tok) and concepts.json (~200 tok) written during ingestion
  • Self-documenting library — NAVIGATION.md generated in library root

Results

  • 58% fewer content tokens vs raw PDF (6.1k vs 14.7k on SBOM maturity question)
  • 4 file reads to answer — catalog → concepts → 2 chunks
  • Automatic source citations in answers
  • Zero infrastructure, zero server management

Architecture (simplified)

AgentLib = Ingestion Pipeline + Skill + File Convention
  1. /agentlib-ingest-book ~/book.pdf — preprocess once
  2. Ask questions — skill teaches the agent to navigate metadata → chunks
  3. No server, no MCP, no tools — just files + instructions

Also in this release

  • /agentlib-library command to browse ingested books
  • Stronger skill trigger keywords (CandleKeep-inspired pattern)
  • Token budget enforcement on all navigation layers

Install

claude --plugin-dir ~/path/to/agentlib
/agentlib-ingest-book ~/path/to/book.pdf

Then just ask questions naturally.
