Authoritative agent-runtime contract for working inside an OpenKnowledge project — a markdown-CRDT knowledge base exposed over MCP. Use whenever reading, listing, searching, editing, or linting any `.md` or `.mdx` file in the project, and before any `mcp__open-knowledge*` tool call (`exec`, `search`, `write`, `edit`, `lint`, and the rest). Installed by `ok init`, so its presence means this is an OpenKnowledge project and it governs every markdown file here. Covers the read/write tool surface…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# OpenKnowledge — agent guidance

OpenKnowledge (OK) is a markdown-CRDT collaboration platform exposed via MCP. This skill is the single source of OK agent guidance. Every rule below is a MUST unless marked otherwise. **Depth lives in `references/*.md` — one level deep; load a reference when its task comes up.**

> Skill version tracks `@inkeep/open-knowledge-server`. `cat ~/.ok/skill-state.yml` shows what's installed. `ok seed` needs `@inkeep/open-knowledge` >= 0.4.0; if it errors `unknown command`, `npm install -g @inkeep/open-knowledge`.

> **CLI name.** Commands here use Stable's `ok` (`open-knowledge`) and `~/.ok/`. With OpenKnowledge Beta, use `ok-beta` (`open-knowledge-beta`) and `~/.ok-beta/` instead; `preview_url`'s `okOpenCommand` already names the right one.

> **Setup (not connected yet?).** If the `mcp__open-knowledge*` tools aren't available in your client, this project isn't wired up on this machine — see [`references/setup.md`](references/setup.md) for the rung ladder (approve `.mcp.json` → `ok start` CLI → optional desktop app) and the canonical quickstart.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add inkeep/open-knowledge/open-knowledge@sha256:263f13a9566c051b

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261021.454caa6, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
