Read when the user asks what OpenKnowledge is, wants to install it on a repository, wants to open or preview a single markdown file that is not part of an OpenKnowledge project, wants to share an OpenKnowledge project with collaborators, asks whether OpenKnowledge supports a particular capability, or asks how `ok init` / `ok cowork` / OK Desktop set up a project. Do NOT load to perform OpenKnowledge reads/writes — the runtime guidance for editing markdown inside an initialized OK project ships…

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 — what it is and how to install it

OpenKnowledge (OK) is a markdown-CRDT collaboration platform. It turns a
directory of `.md` / `.mdx` files into a live, multi-writer knowledge base:
agents and humans edit the same documents in real time, every change is
attributed, and a browser preview renders edits as they land.

This skill covers **discovery, install, and opening OpenKnowledge files** —
including single files that are not part of a project (see *Opening a file
outside a project* below). It does **not** carry the in-project read/write
runtime contract (the STOP rules for native file tools, the grounding and
linking rules, the MCP routing table) — that ships separately as the
project-local skill installed by `ok init` (see *Working inside a project*
below).

> **CLI name.** Commands below use Stable's `ok` (`open-knowledge`). OpenKnowledge
> Beta's terminal commands are `ok-beta` (`open-knowledge-beta`), with `~/.ok-beta/`
> in place of `~/.ok/`.

## Install OpenKnowledge on a repository

Run `ok init` from the repository root:

```bash
npx @inkeep/open-knowledge init
# or, after a global install:
npm install -g @inkeep/open-knowledge
ok init
```
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add inkeep/open-knowledge/open-knowledge-discovery@sha256:46dfe82a2d28ec93

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261014.adeb8b5, 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.
