# `Nous.Agents.KnowledgeBaseAgent`
[🔗](https://github.com/nyo16/nous/blob/v0.17.1/lib/nous/agents/knowledge_base_agent.ex#L1)

Knowledge Base Agent behaviour implementation.

Specializes agents for knowledge base curation: ingesting documents,
compiling wiki entries, querying, generating outputs, and maintaining
the knowledge base.

Adds KB reasoning tools on top of the standard KB plugin tools:
- `kb_plan_compilation` — Plan which entries to create from documents
- `kb_verify_entry` — Cross-check an entry against source documents
- `kb_suggest_links` — Suggest links between entries
- `kb_summarize_topic` — Synthesize across multiple entries

## Example

    agent = Agent.new("openai:gpt-4",
      behaviour_module: Nous.Agents.KnowledgeBaseAgent,
      plugins: [Nous.Plugins.KnowledgeBase],
      deps: %{kb_config: %{store: Nous.KnowledgeBase.Store.ETS, kb_id: "my_kb"}}
    )

    {:ok, result} = Agent.run(agent, "Ingest this article about GenServers: ...")
    {:ok, result} = Agent.run(agent, "What do we know about OTP?")
    {:ok, result} = Agent.run(agent, "Generate a report on Elixir patterns")
