Read before creating or organizing private durable knowledge (`knowledge/<name>/KNOWLEDGE.md`) or cross-references; use it for local memory, not portable procedures.

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

# Knowledge Manual

Knowledge is private, local long-term memory: facts, decisions, observations,
paths, mail context, and operational lessons. It has no public capability tool;
`psyche` only returns this signpost. Skills are portable procedures, while
knowledge may contain private paths, IDs, and logs. Reusable how-to belongs in a
skill; shared skills must not point inward to private knowledge.

## Layout and catalog

Each entry is `<agent>/knowledge/<name>/KNOWLEDGE.md`, optionally with
`references/`, `scripts/`, `assets/`, or `notes/`. Its YAML needs `name` and
`description`. The prompt receives only each entry's name, description, and
location; read the body on demand. Setup/refresh and every full rebuild rescan
the store and recompose the catalog.

A top-level entry may be a short routing/index parent with nested children. Keep
one hook and relative child path per child, and put the substance in the child;
use the Skills manual's nested reference pattern for the catalog shape.

## Public call and first action

```text
psyche(action="knowledge", input={}, reasoning="load knowledge guidance")
```

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add lingtai-ai/lingtai-kernel/knowledge-manual@sha256:945dbeeab71021a0

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1.0, 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.
