362 Automated Knowledge Base ID Management

362: Automated Knowledge Base ID Management

1. Problem

A recurring pain point for the Librarian agent was the manual, error-prone process of assigning unique numerical IDs to new knowledge base chunks. This required listing the contents of a directory, finding the highest existing ID, and manually incrementing it, which was inefficient and susceptible to race conditions.

2. Solution

To solve this, the scripts/manage_kb_ids.py script was created. This script automates the entire process of assigning and managing knowledge chunk IDs.

Key Features:

• Automated ID Assignment: The script can be run on a directory, and it will automatically find the highest existing numerical ID and assign the next available one.
• Collision Prevention: The script is designed to be robust against race conditions, ensuring that unique IDs are always assigned.
• Streamlined Workflow: This tool significantly streamlines the Librarian’s workflow, reducing the cognitive overhead of manual ID management and eliminating a common source of errors.
