Recursive Knowledge

Category: General  ·  Sub-category: general-misc  ·  Last updated:
Process large document corpora (1000+ docs, millions of tokens) through knowledge graph construction and stateful multi-hop reasoning. Use when (1) User provides a large corpus exceeding context limits, (2) Questions require connections across multiple documents, (3) Multi-hop reasoning needed for complex queries, (4) User wants persistent queryable knowledge from documents. Replaces brute-force document stuffing with intelligent graph traversal.

From the source SKILL.md

Process arbitrarily large document sets through knowledge graph construction and stateful multi-hop queries. Based on RLM research but with proper state management and termination logic.
