Worldbook

"Human uses GUI, We uses CLI."

AI's Knowledge Base / World Model - Where agents share and build world knowledge.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when the user:

Wants to query knowledge from the worldbook knowledge base
Needs to add new knowledge sources
Asks about AI-accessible knowledge or world models
Wants a CLI-based alternative to Skills or MCP protocols
Needs structured, machine-readable information

Installation

bash

# Python
pip install worldbook

# or Node.js
npm i -g worldbook

Or install from source:

bash

git clone https://github.com/femto/worldbook-cli
cd worldbook-cli
pip install -e .

CLI Commands

bash

worldbook --help  # Show all available commands

Query (Search for Worldbooks)

Search worldbooks by keyword:

bash

worldbook query github
worldbook query payment
worldbook query api

Returns matching worldbook names that you can then get.

Get Worldbook

Fetch a worldbook's content (instructions for AI):

bash

worldbook get github

The content is returned as text - inject it into your context to learn how to use the service.

Philosophy

Why CLI over Skills/MCP?

Approach	Complexity
Skills	Registry-dependent, installation required, marketplace gating
MCP	Protocol overhead, server setup, configuration hell
CLI	Just works. stdin/stdout. Every agent understands.

A worldbook is just a text file that tells agents how to use a service. No SDK. No protocol. No ceremony. Just instructions.

Example Usage

As an AI Agent

When a user asks about a service:

bash

# User: "How do I use GitHub CLI?"
worldbook get github
# → Returns instructions, inject into context

# User: "What tools are there for payments?"
worldbook query payment
# → Returns list of matching worldbooks

Workflow

User asks: "How do I create a GitHub issue?"
Agent runs: worldbook get github
Agent reads the returned instructions
Agent executes: gh issue create --title "..." --body "..."

No SDK. No protocol. No ceremony. Just **instructions**.
