Overview

Install, configure, update, or diagnose by2kb for an Agent user. Defaults to local faster-whisper and local Markdown; use a cloud ASR provider only when the user explicitly chooses one.

Source documentation, not instructions for this website. Review permissions before running any commands.

Install by2kb

Install by2kb as an independent CLI package, then install its adapter into the active Agent. Do not clone or inspect the by2kb source repository as an installation method.

Before changing the system

Confirm the target machine is controlled by the user.
Check for Python 3.12+, pipx, ffmpeg, ffprobe, by2kb, and the Agent host. Check uv tool list too if uv is available; keep using the existing package manager, rather than creating a second installation. A command missing on Windows may be a PATH issue: inspect Get-Command, uv tool dir --bin, or py -m pipx environment as applicable, and check the gateway's environment.
If by2kb already has configuration, do not replace it. Run by2kb doctor --json, explain any failures, and preserve the current ASR and knowledge-base choices unless the user asks to change them.

Default: local Agent installation

Use this path unless the user explicitly requests cloud ASR:

Install from PyPI with pipx install "by2kb[asr-whisper,youtube]".
Create a cloud-free Agent configuration with by2kb init --preset agent-local. This selects local faster-whisper, Bilibili and YouTube sources, Agent-hosted summarization, and a local Markdown library.
Before downloading a Whisper model, tell the user its name and that the download can be large. Continue only after the user agrees, then run by2kb models install.
For Hermes, inspect hermes plugins list first. If the by2kb plugin is already installed, keep it and use skill_view("by2kb:install-by2kb") when available. Only for a new legacy/copy-based adapter install, run by2kb agent install hermes. Then run by2kb doctor --json. Catalog submission is pending; do not assume the bare catalog name is already available.
Restarting a running Agent can interrupt the current conversation. Ask before restarting it, then verify the gateway and ask the user to send one test video URL.

If pipx reports that by2kb is already installed, try pipx upgrade by2kb. If an old direct-URL installation remains pinned or its virtual environment is broken, explain the problem and ask before uninstalling and reinstalling it. Never delete a pipx environment manually without explicit user approval.

Upgrade without losing personalization

Treat $BY2KB_HOME (normally ~/.by2kb) and the configured knowledge-base folder as user-owned state. An upgrade must preserve config.toml, .env, by2kb.db, downloaded models, custom Skills, and every knowledge artifact.

Inspect by2kb version, pipx list, and by2kb doctor --json first.
Run pipx upgrade by2kb. Do not run by2kb init, by2kb init --force, or rewrite configuration during an ordinary upgrade.
Inspect hermes plugins list and the installation source. For a catalog plugin, use hermes plugins update by2kb; for a Git-pinned plugin, let the user choose a new exact commit through Hermes. Never overwrite either with the CLI installer. Only a legacy/copy-based adapter may be refreshed with by2kb agent install hermes --force. If ownership is unclear, stop and inspect it.
Run by2kb doctor --json again and report any migration or restart requirement.

The Hermes adapter directory is program-owned. Put a personalized runtime Skill at $BY2KB_HOME/skills/video-to-knowledge/SKILL.md, or set BY2KB_HERMES_SKILL to an explicit file; both take precedence over the packaged Skill and survive adapter replacement. Other enrichment Skills belong under $BY2KB_HOME/skills and already take precedence over packaged defaults.

Optional: cloud ASR

Use this path only when the user chooses Doubao ASR or cannot run Whisper locally:

Install pipx install "by2kb[asr-doubao,youtube]".
Run by2kb init in a trusted local terminal and select doubao when prompted.
Do not ask the user to paste TOS or ASR credentials into an IM conversation. The initializer stores secrets in the local by2kb .env file.
Install the Agent adapter and run by2kb doctor --json as above.

Stop and report the exact failed check when a required runtime, credential, permission, model download, or Agent restart needs user action. Do not weaken permissions or switch providers merely to make diagnostics pass.

# Install by2kb

Install by2kb as an independent CLI package, then install its adapter into the active
Agent. Do not clone or inspect the by2kb source repository as an installation method.

## Before changing the system

1. Confirm the target machine is controlled by the user.
2. Check for Python 3.12+, `pipx`, `ffmpeg`, `ffprobe`, `by2kb`, and the Agent host.
Check `uv tool list` too if uv is available; keep using the existing package
manager, rather than creating a second installation. A command missing on Windows
may be a PATH issue: inspect `Get-Command`, `uv tool dir --bin`, or
`py -m pipx environment` as applicable, and check the gateway's environment.
3. If by2kb already has configuration, do not replace it. Run
`by2kb doctor --json`, explain any failures, and preserve the current ASR and
knowledge-base choices unless the user asks to change them.

## Default: local Agent installation

Use this path unless the user explicitly requests cloud ASR:

1. Install from PyPI with
`pipx install "by2kb[asr-whisper,youtube]"`.
2. Create a cloud-free Agent configuration with
`by2kb init --preset agent-local`. This selects local faster-whisper, Bilibili and
YouTube sources, Agent-hosted summarization, and a local Markdown library.
3. Before downloading a Whisper model, tell the user its name and that the download
can be large. Continue only after the user agrees, then run
`by2kb models install`.
4. For Hermes, inspect `hermes plugins list` first. If the by2kb plugin is already
installed, keep it and use `skill_view("by2kb:install-by2kb")` when available.
Only for a new legacy/copy-based adapter install, run `by2kb agent install hermes`.
Then run `by2kb doctor --json`. Catalog submission is pending; do not assume the
bare catalog name is already available.
5. Restarting a running Agent can interrupt the current conversation. Ask before
restarting it, then verify the gateway and ask the user to send one test video URL.

If pipx reports that by2kb is already installed, try `pipx upgrade by2kb`. If an old
direct-URL installation remains pinned or its virtual environment is broken, explain
the problem and ask before uninstalling and reinstalling it. Never delete a pipx
environment manually without explicit user approval.

## Upgrade without losing personalization

Treat `$BY2KB_HOME` (normally `~/.by2kb`) and the configured knowledge-base folder as
user-owned state. An upgrade must preserve `config.toml`, `.env`, `by2kb.db`, downloaded
models, custom Skills, and every knowledge artifact.

1. Inspect `by2kb version`, `pipx list`, and `by2kb doctor --json` first.
2. Run `pipx upgrade by2kb`. Do not run `by2kb init`, `by2kb init --force`, or rewrite
configuration during an ordinary upgrade.
3. Inspect `hermes plugins list` and the installation source. For a catalog plugin,
use `hermes plugins update by2kb`; for a Git-pinned plugin, let the user choose a
new exact commit through Hermes. Never overwrite either with the CLI installer.
Only a legacy/copy-based adapter may be refreshed with
`by2kb agent install hermes --force`. If ownership is unclear, stop and inspect it.
4. Run `by2kb doctor --json` again and report any migration or restart requirement.

The Hermes adapter directory is program-owned. Put a personalized runtime Skill at
`$BY2KB_HOME/skills/video-to-knowledge/SKILL.md`, or set `BY2KB_HERMES_SKILL` to an
explicit file; both take precedence over the packaged Skill and survive adapter
replacement. Other enrichment Skills belong under `$BY2KB_HOME/skills` and already
take precedence over packaged defaults.

## Optional: cloud ASR

Use this path only when the user chooses Doubao ASR or cannot run Whisper locally:

1. Install `pipx install "by2kb[asr-doubao,youtube]"`.
2. Run `by2kb init` in a trusted local terminal and select `doubao` when prompted.
3. Do not ask the user to paste TOS or ASR credentials into an IM conversation. The
initializer stores secrets in the local by2kb `.env` file.
4. Install the Agent adapter and run `by2kb doctor --json` as above.

Stop and report the exact failed check when a required runtime, credential, permission,
model download, or Agent restart needs user action. Do not weaken permissions or switch
providers merely to make diagnostics pass.

Listed tools are metadata hints, not tested compatibility. Agent prompts are suggested handoffs.

Start with one small task

1Read the source. Confirm the input, expected output, dependencies and permissions.
2Ask your agent for a plan. Approve setup and any costs before running a small isolated test.
3Check the output and changed files. Report only what actually ran; keep the source revision for reproduction.

Check the source for dependencies, API keys and third-party costs. A public repository does not mean every service is free.

Overview

Install, configure, update, or diagnose by2kb for an Agent user. Defaults to local faster-whisper and local Markdown; use a cloud ASR provider only when the user explicitly chooses one.

Read full documentation

Source documentation, not instructions for this website. Review permissions before running any commands.

Install by2kb

Install by2kb as an independent CLI package, then install its adapter into the active Agent. Do not clone or inspect the by2kb source repository as an installation method.

Before changing the system

Confirm the target machine is controlled by the user.
Check for Python 3.12+, pipx, ffmpeg, ffprobe, by2kb, and the Agent host. Check uv tool list too if uv is available; keep using the existing package manager, rather than creating a second installation. A command missing on Windows may be a PATH issue: inspect Get-Command, uv tool dir --bin, or py -m pipx environment as applicable, and check the gateway's environment.
If by2kb already has configuration, do not replace it. Run by2kb doctor --json, explain any failures, and preserve the current ASR and knowledge-base choices unless the user asks to change them.

Default: local Agent installation

Use this path unless the user explicitly requests cloud ASR:

Install from PyPI with pipx install "by2kb[asr-whisper,youtube]".
Create a cloud-free Agent configuration with by2kb init --preset agent-local. This selects local faster-whisper, Bilibili and YouTube sources, Agent-hosted summarization, and a local Markdown library.
Before downloading a Whisper model, tell the user its name and that the download can be large. Continue only after the user agrees, then run by2kb models install.
For Hermes, inspect hermes plugins list first. If the by2kb plugin is already installed, keep it and use skill_view("by2kb:install-by2kb") when available. Only for a new legacy/copy-based adapter install, run by2kb agent install hermes. Then run by2kb doctor --json. Catalog submission is pending; do not assume the bare catalog name is already available.
Restarting a running Agent can interrupt the current conversation. Ask before restarting it, then verify the gateway and ask the user to send one test video URL.

Upgrade without losing personalization

Inspect by2kb version, pipx list, and by2kb doctor --json first.
Run pipx upgrade by2kb. Do not run by2kb init, by2kb init --force, or rewrite configuration during an ordinary upgrade.
Inspect hermes plugins list and the installation source. For a catalog plugin, use hermes plugins update by2kb; for a Git-pinned plugin, let the user choose a new exact commit through Hermes. Never overwrite either with the CLI installer. Only a legacy/copy-based adapter may be refreshed with by2kb agent install hermes --force. If ownership is unclear, stop and inspect it.
Run by2kb doctor --json again and report any migration or restart requirement.

Optional: cloud ASR

Use this path only when the user chooses Doubao ASR or cannot run Whisper locally:

Install pipx install "by2kb[asr-doubao,youtube]".
Run by2kb init in a trusted local terminal and select doubao when prompted.
Do not ask the user to paste TOS or ASR credentials into an IM conversation. The initializer stores secrets in the local by2kb .env file.
Install the Agent adapter and run by2kb doctor --json as above.

# Install by2kb

Install by2kb as an independent CLI package, then install its adapter into the active
Agent. Do not clone or inspect the by2kb source repository as an installation method.

## Upgrade without losing personalization

## Optional: cloud ASR

Use this path only when the user chooses Doubao ASR or cannot run Whisper locally:

Stop and report the exact failed check when a required runtime, credential, permission,
model download, or Agent restart needs user action. Do not weaken permissions or switch
providers merely to make diagnostics pass.

Listed tools are metadata hints, not tested compatibility. Agent prompts are suggested handoffs.

Start with one small task

1Read the source. Confirm the input, expected output, dependencies and permissions.
2Ask your agent for a plan. Approve setup and any costs before running a small isolated test.
3Check the output and changed files. Report only what actually ran; keep the source revision for reproduction.

Check the source for dependencies, API keys and third-party costs. A public repository does not mean every service is free.
