Open Knowledge

Open Knowledge is a local-first knowledge base for teams that want docs, help-center content, SOPs, and agent-facing knowledge to live in one structured editing system.

The project includes a desktop app, web app, server, CLI, shared core packages, and docs site. It uses Bun workspaces and Turbo for builds.

Repository Model

This public repository is mirrored from Inkeep's internal monorepo with Copybara. The internal source path is public/open-knowledge/ in inkeep/agents-private.

Public pull requests are welcome. When a public PR opens here, automation mirrors it into the internal monorepo for review and merge. After the internal PR lands, Copybara syncs the accepted change back to this repository.
