Inkeep Open Knowledge Skills - Setup Guide¶

Source: skills.sh (17.1K combined installs) GitHub: inkeep/open-knowledge-skills (6⭐, MIT) Category: Knowledge Management & Collaboration First Seen: July 31, 2026 (skills.sh) Quality Tier: 🟢 Production (Gen Agent Trust Hub Pass / Socket Pass / Snyk Pass)

OpenKnowledge (OK) is Inkeep's markdown-CRDT collaboration platform: it turns a directory of .md/.mdx files into a live, multi-writer knowledge base where agents and humans edit the same documents in real time, every change is attributed, and a browser preview renders edits as they land. The skill cluster covers discovery/install (ok init), the Open Knowledge Format (OKF) for entity vaults and knowledge bases, and a full software-lifecycle writing suite (specs, design reviews, decisions, postmortems) that ships as project-local skills.

Installation¶

# Discovery skill - explains OK and installs the platform
npx skills add inkeep/open-knowledge-skills --skill open-knowledge-discovery

# Optional: run from any repository root to initialize the live knowledge base
ok init

The in-project read/write runtime contract (STOP rules for native file tools, grounding and linking rules, MCP routing) ships as a project-local skill installed by ok init - not via the skills.sh cluster.

Core Skills¶

Skill	Installs	Use For
open-knowledge-discovery	6.3K	What OK is, install, and opening files (incl. standalone files)
open-knowledge-write-skill	3.6K	Authoring content in OK format
open-knowledge	2.6K	Core OK runtime contract
okf-knowledge-base	2.5K	Open Knowledge Format knowledge-base structure
research-with-sources	355	Sourced research notes in OK format
knowledge-base / consolidate-notes	351	KB maintenance and note consolidation
codebase-wiki	232	Wiki-style codebase documentation
write-a-spec / review-a-design / record-a-decision / write-a-postmortem / frame-a-proposal	81-82	Software lifecycle documents as living KB entries
note-taking / personal-crm	70 / 44	Daily notes and contact tracking in OK format
writing-workflow / worldbuilding	33 / 31	Structured writing and fiction-world reference vaults
open-knowledge-pack-* (13 bundles)	1-21	Pre-packaged skill bundles per workflow

Prerequisites¶

Node.js runtime for ok init and the OK client
No credentials needed for local single-writer use; multi-writer sync uses the OK platform

CorpusIQ Use Cases¶

Operator knowledge base - the OKF entity-vault pattern (one file per entity, linked) is a clean reference for structuring CorpusIQ user-facing business knowledge
Live multi-agent documentation - attributed, real-time co-editing of docs between agents and operators maps directly onto CorpusIQ's collaborative answer workflows
Lifecycle discipline - the write-a-spec / record-a-decision / postmortem suite is a public counterpart to CorpusIQ's internal spec-and-decision governance patterns

Integration with CorpusIQ¶

CorpusIQ is the connector layer that lets AI assistants read the systems a business already runs on - accounting, payments, CRM, email, files and analytics - and answer with the source named. It is read-only by design: it retrieves data and never writes to, or acts in, a connected system, which is what makes it safe to point at live accounts.

This page is part of the CorpusIQ directory, the reference we maintain for the MCP server and agent-skill ecosystem. Run alongside CorpusIQ, a third-party server like this one can be combined with a company's own business data in a single answer.

Limitations / Verification¶

Low-star repo (6⭐) behind a well-known vendor (Inkeep) - skills.sh install counts (17.1K) are the adoption signal, not GitHub stars
Multi-writer sync requires the OK platform; single-machine use works fully offline
Verify install: npx skills list | grep open-knowledge
