kb-render is a Claude Code skill that renders deterministic outward-facing artifacts such as slides, reports, charts, and canvas from approved Obsidian knowledge.

About

The kb-render skill produces deterministic outward-facing artifacts from the approved knowledge of an Obsidian vault. A developer uses it to render slides, reports, charts, or canvas outputs as deterministic derivatives of approved live pages or cited archived answers. It matters because it keeps approved pages as the only grounding source and reports which pages grounded each artifact and where it was saved.

  • Renders deterministic slides, reports, charts, and canvas from approved knowledge
  • Grounds artifacts only on approved live pages and cited archived outputs
  • Reports which pages grounded the artifact and where it was saved

If render_live_artifact.py exists, use it as the deterministic baseline.

Supported deterministic outputs remain:

  • slides
  • charts
  • canvas
  • report

Keep approved live pages and already-cited archived outputs as the only grounding sources.

Static web export belongs to kb-query, not kb-render.

Output to the user

Report:

1. which approved pages grounded the artifact 2. which deterministic render mode was used 3. where the artifact was saved
