open-knowledge-discovery
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 as a separate project-local skill installed into each detected agent's skills dir (for example `.claude/skills/open-knowledge/`) whenever `ok init` runs.
Choose how to use this skill
You do not need every option. Choose the path your AI client supports. The stable page stays the same; versioned files are immutable.
1. Native installer
This listing has no registered native installer command. Use the complete package or source fallback below, depending on what your client supports.
Do not guess an installer command or replace an existing version without reviewing the diff.
2. Complete package recommended
Download the ZIP when available. It includes SKILL.md plus the references, security notes and version metadata.
No complete ProSkills package is published for this listing yet.3. Prompt-only
Copy the prompt above when the agent can read the stable page or when you want to adopt the workflow without installing a skill.
Need only the instruction file?
Download SKILL.md only if your client requires a single file. The complete ZIP is safer for a full installation because it preserves the references and release context.
No path installs or executes anything by itself. Your agent still needs access to the project files. Before updating, compare the installed version and review the diff.

Features
Highlights:
- Full true WYSIWYG so that editing markdown files feels like editing a Google Doc or Notion page.
- Desktop app (macOS, Windows, Linux) and web UI with file navigator, search, tabs, graph wiki link viewer, and more.
- Integrated side-by-side AI-editing with Claude, Codex, OpenCode, Pi and others. Can be used with any harness/agent via MCP/CLI.
- Out-of-the-box MCP, skills, and agentic search for LLM Wikis, second brains, and knowledge graphs.
- No-code Team sharing and Auto-sync powered by git/GitHub under the hood.
- Embeddable HTML and rich components for writing engineering specs and visualized reports.
Install
Desktop app — download it from openknowledge.ai/download (or grab an installer from the latest release):
- macOS (Apple Silicon): open the DMG and drag OpenKnowledge to Applications.
- Windows 10+ (x64 / Arm64): run the Setup installer — per-user, no admin prompt.
- Linux (x64 / arm64): install the deb (Debian/Ubuntu) or rpm (Fedora/RHEL) package.
Web app — on any platform (including Intel Macs and servers), run the same editor as a local web app via the CLI (Node.js 24+ and git required):
npm install -g @inkeep/open-knowledge
cd your-project
ok init # scaffold the project + wire up your AI editors (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Codex, OpenCode, OpenClaw)
ok start --open # serve the web editor and open it in your browser
Usage
Use OpenKnowledge by opening any existing folder on your computer that contains markdown or mdx files. The app can be used with existing codebases, wikis, Obsidian vaults, etc.
Think of it as Notion meets VS Code.
You can use it simply as a rich, WYSIWYG markdown editor to start. For existing files or plain notes/docs.
To get more complex, you can use the starter packs to create LLM Wikis, second brains, or more structured knowledge bases.
Either way, the app will walk you through installing the MCP and skills for agent harnesses detected on your computer. These are designed to help agents with enriched search + authoring of documents.
Git/GitHub based sync and sharing can optionally be enabled.
