version: "1.0.1" name: create-bkn description: >- Guides creation of BKN (Business Knowledge Network) definition files following v2.0.1 spec. Covers network, object_type, relation_type, action_type, concept_group. Use when creating knowledge networks, BKN files, object types, relation types, action types, concept groups, or when user asks to model business knowledge in BKN format. When ontology-core is also loaded, use it to run ontology CLI (bkn push) after files exist.

Create BKN

Generate well-formed BKN directories (Markdown + YAML frontmatter) per v2.0.1.

Works with ontology-core

create-bkn authors the .bkn tree; ontology-core runs ontology bkn push / pull after files exist.

What is BKN

BKN is Markdown + YAML frontmatter for schema; one file per definition under typed subfolders. Details (sections, required tables, types) live in references/SPECIFICATION.llm.md.

Workflow

1. Gather requirements — objects, relations, actions, optional concept groups
2. Read spec — references/SPECIFICATION.llm.md (format rules, sections, frontmatter types)
3. Pick templates — copy/adapt from assets/templates/ (network_type.bkn.template, object_type.bkn.template, …)
4. Create `network.bkn` — root file; align with Network Overview

• MUST: generate a fresh UUID v4 locally (e.g. Python uuid.uuid4()) and write it as the id field in frontmatter at file creation time. Never leave id empty, null, ~, or absent — ontology bkn validate / push both require a non-empty string id, and the bkn-creator flow does not call ontology bkn create to acquire a server-assigned id.
• The locally generated UUID is the final kn_id; any other .bkn file that references the network id (e.g. network_id in object_types/*.bkn) must reuse the same UUID.

1. Create `object_types/*.bkn` — one file per object, {id}.bkn
2. Create `relation_types/*.bkn` — one file per relation
3. Create `action_types/*.bkn` — optional, may be empty. One file per genuine write-operation on instances. Decide per the rules below; if none apply, create no files and leave action_types/ and the Network Overview ActionType list empty (keep them consistent).

• Build an action when the PRD contains an explicit write-operation (create/update/delete of instances) with an identifiable trigger condition or a bound tool.
• Create none when the PRD is read-only (query / monitor / analysis / stats / trace) — those belong to object-type query / subgraph / metric / semantic search, not ActionType.
• Ambiguous cases (e.g. whether "approval" is a write-action vs. a status transition) — surface to the user for confirmation; never silently build or silently skip.

1. Create `concept_groups/*.bkn` — optional
2. Update `network.bkn` — list all IDs in Network Overview
3. Add root `SKILL.md` in the BKN directory — same folder as network.bkn (this is not the create-bkn skill file); agent-facing guide for that network (see Delivered BKN: root SKILL.md)
4. Review (MUST) — cross-check Validation checklist and Business rules placement; fix IDs, cross-refs, headings

• 特别核对 action_types/*.bkn 每个文件 frontmatter 是否含 action_type: add|modify|delete 这一行（位置在 frontmatter，不在 markdown body 的 Bound Object 表），遇到查询/监控/追溯/校验等只读语义，删掉对应 ActionType 文件并在 `network.bkn` 的 Network Overview 同步移除该 id

1. Validate (MUST) — ontology bkn validate <dir> (see Validation)
2. Import (optional) — ontology bkn push <dir>

Import (ontology CLI)

无需安装。ontology 已内置在执行环境，直接调用即可。

• BKN validation — If workflow step 12 (ontology bkn validate <dir>) already succeeded for this directory, do not repeat validate before push unless you changed .bkn files. If you have not validated yet, run validate before push.

ontology bkn push <dir> [-bd <business-domain>]

-bd / --biz-domain is optional. If you omit it, the CLI resolves the business domain automatically.

Export: ontology bkn pull <kn-id> [<dir>]. More subcommands: ontology bkn --help (see ontology-core skill if loaded).

Validation

ontology bkn validate <dir> — must pass before delivery or upload. It loads network.bkn and sibling .bkn files. Success prints counts; on failure fix .bkn files and re-run.

Per-type reference

Full rules and optional sections: references/SPECIFICATION.llm.md.

Naming conventions

• ID: lowercase, digits, underscores; file: {id}.bkn under the matching folder
• Headings: # network title, ## type block, ### section, #### logic property
• Frontmatter: at least type, id, name (see spec for each type)

Business rules placement

Rules must sit in spec-defined places so import persists them. Full wording: references/SPECIFICATION.llm.md.

• Network-level — prose in network.bkn right after # {title} (before structured sections like ## Network Overview)
• Type-level — prose in each type file after ## ObjectType: / ## RelationType: / … and before the first ###; never in frontmatter
• Property-level — in Data Properties table Description column
• No extra sections — do not add Markdown outside the standard sections; parsers may drop unparsed content on import

Validation checklist

• [ ] network.bkn at root; frontmatter matches spec
• [ ] Every .bkn has valid YAML frontmatter (type, id, name)
• [ ] Files live under folders matching type (object_types/, relation_types/, …); filename = {id}.bkn
• [ ] Network Overview lists all definition IDs — no missing/extra
• [ ] Relations/actions reference existing object-type IDs; concept groups list only existing objects
• [ ] Parameter binding Source ∈ property | input | const; YAML blocks (e.g. trigger) parse
• [ ] 每个 `action_types/*.bkn` 的 frontmatter 都包含 `action_type:` 字段，值 ∈ {`add`, `modify`, `delete`}（注意：该字段在 frontmatter，不在 ### Bound Object 表格里；缺失或值非法时 backend 返回 BknBackend.ActionType.InvalidParameter，错误细节里说的 [create, update, delete] 是 backend bug，实际白名单就是 add/modify/delete）
• [ ] `network.bkn` 的 Network Overview ActionType 列表与 `action_types/*.bkn` 文件名一一对应（多/少都会导致后端 schema 不一致；CLI 不校验，会静默放过）
• [ ] 没有把只读语义（查询/监控/追溯/校验）建为 ActionType——这类应走 object-type query / subgraph / metric / semantic search
• [ ] Heading hierarchy has no skipped levels
• [ ] Business rules only in allowed places (see Business rules placement)

Output rules

1. Emit raw .bkn content — do not wrap the whole file in a fenced markdown block
2. Reuse IDs consistently across relations/actions
3. IDs: lowercase + underscores; display text Chinese unless asked otherwise
4. Keep heading order per spec

Examples

• references/examples/k8s-network/ — modular sample (objects, relations, actions, concept group)

Delivered BKN: root GUIDE.md

When you build a knowledge network directory {network_dir}/, add {network_dir}/GUIDE.md at the root (alongside network.bkn). Short overview + index tables with file paths (object | path | relation | path | action | path) so agents route to the right .bkn without scanning. Optional: topology sketch, usage scenarios. Example: references/examples/k8s-network/GUIDE.md.
