Open Knowledge Format (OKF)
Google Cloud's open convention (v0.1, Apache 2.0) for writing static agent knowledge as a bundle of markdown files with YAML frontmatter. Not a runtime or SDK: just files, version-controllable, that any agent can read.
4 workflows use Open Knowledge Format (OKF)
OKF: turn your repo's tribal knowledge into a bundle your agent reads first
Write one markdown concept per thing worth knowing, cross-linked, as a conformant OKF bundle in version control that any agent can read with no SDK.
OKF: generate a bundle from your schema, then ground it with citations
Mirror Google's reference pattern: a model drafts one OKF concept per table or module, and a stricter project rule requires a # Citations section on anything with a resource, so the knowledge is checkable, not just plausible.
OKF: consume a bundle without blowing your context window
Use index.md for progressive disclosure so an agent navigates the graph instead of swallowing the whole folder, with reserved files that follow the spec.
Hermes + OKF: a knowledge folder your agent reads before it answers
Wire an OKF knowledge bundle into Hermes so the agent reads knowledge/index.md first, validated bundle conformance + a SOUL.md house rule that points at it.
