# Kb article

Draft a knowledge base article from a resolved issue or common question. Use when a ticket resolution is worth documenting for self-service, the same question keeps coming up, a workaround needs to be published, or a known issue should be communicated to customers.

Source: Anthropic (Apache 2.0), copied at a pinned commit. Free to use. Part of the Phở Skills library (https://labs.pho.chat/en/skills).
Skill set: Customer support (https://labs.pho.chat/en/skills/knowledge-work-plugins/customer-support.md).
Works best with a connected app (for example a CRM or a document store); without one it asks for the details instead.
