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

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
