Knowledge Prefill

Seed a bound knowledge base with curated foundation: true concept pages so canonical material like Porter's Five Forces, Jobs-to-be-Done, and MECE has a stable target slug from day one. This is the standalone analog of cogni-wiki:wiki-prefill, computed natively on the vendored prefill_foundations.py engine (resolved vendored-first via resolve_wiki_scripts()), so a Karpathy base is prefillable with no cogni-wiki plugin installed. It does not dispatch cogni-wiki:wiki-prefill.

Why this is a deliberate opt-in. knowledge-setup intentionally passes --skip-prefill-prompt to cogni-wiki:wiki-setup — a cogni-knowledge base has its own opinionated domain seeding (the first knowledge-plan → … → knowledge-finalize run seeds the base domain-specifically), and layering the generic canonical foundations on top would clutter it. knowledge-prefill is the native opt-in so a user who skipped foundations at setup time — or who wants the textbook concepts as stable link targets later — can add them without installing cogni-wiki.

Read ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/delegation-contract.md once at the start of a session so you remember the wiki-engine boundary — cogni-knowledge runs the prefill on the vendored engine, it does not dispatch cogni-wiki:wiki-prefill.

When to run

User explicitly asks to prefill, seed, or pre-load foundations / canonical concepts / consulting frameworks into the bound base
A base set up with --skip-prefill-prompt (the cogni-knowledge default) and the user now wants the canonical foundations as stable link targets
An existing base has accumulated duplicate pages for canonical material and the user wants to establish the foundation slugs

Never run when

The target directory has no .cogni-knowledge/binding.json — offer knowledge-setup instead.
The user wants to add a single non-canonical concept — route that to knowledge-ingest-source (one source into the base), or, for a full topic, to the inverted pipeline (knowledge-plan); foundations are reserved for textbook material that needs no per-base synthesis.
