Revise a document
Ask your assistant to revise a document. If it asks who the document is for, tell it. Then check the draft against its sources and the questions the document should answer. knowledge-mcp comes with instructions for product development and codebase documentation. Before your assistant starts drafting, ask which of them apply in this folder. If your assistant asks about requirements, answer them. If the answer to a question is already in another document, have the draft link to it.Custom instructions
To create instructions for a new kind of document, ask:Create instructions for drafting release guides for new maintainers.Check that the instructions suit release guides for new maintainers. If they don’t, ask your assistant to adapt them. Your release guide keeps its name and folder. To approve new instructions:
1
Review the proposed changes
Look at each change and where it came from, and check that it covers the questions new maintainers will ask.
2
Check where they apply
See which documents the instructions will apply to.
3
Approve the instructions
Approve instruction changes separately from document edits.

Let your assistant try them out
Your assistant saves and validates the instructions, reloads them and tests them on another document.
Ask about existing documents
To get answers from documents you already have, point your assistant at them:Read the onboarding guide and setup notes. What do I need to get started? Show your sources.Check the passages it cites. Your assistant does the searching, and knowledge-mcp tells it which questions each document is meant to answer.
