.knowledge docs

Install, trust model, generated artifacts, integrations, memory providers, Inspector, embedding, and compatibility guidance for teams evaluating or running .knowledge.

// install rule

Use the release asset, not GitHub Download ZIP

Do not use GitHub Code > Download ZIP as the install package. Use the uploaded GitHub Release asset only.

// Install

Install

Install .knowledge

Install from the uploaded Release asset, unzip it at the repository root, then ask your coding agent to read .knowledge/Quick-Start.md.

Install

Release asset rule

GitHub source snapshots are useful for reading source. They are not the release package users should install.

// Trust model

Trust model

Trust model

Trust model

Code and tests stay above summaries, wiki pages, handoffs, and external memory. Trust labels tell agents how much rechecking is required.

Trust model

Shipped vs generated artifacts

The release ships tools, docs, templates, and static baselines. Runtime artifacts are generated inside the consumer repository.

// Integrations

Integrations

Integrations

Agent integrations

.knowledge installs only the selected or detected runtime integration by default. The full integration set is available with --all.

// Memory providers

Memory providers

Memory providers

Memory providers

Mem0 and Pinecone are free/core advisory integrations. External memory can help recall context, but it never outranks current code, tests, or evidence.

// Inspector

Inspector

Inspector

Inspector

The Inspector is the local review surface for health, trust, freshness, repair work, branch diagnostics, agent behavior setup, and advisory memory status.

// Embedding

Embedding

Embedding

Embed .knowledge in your app

Embedding should read generated trust artifacts and run CLI checks, not bypass the source-of-truth order.

// Compatibility

Compatibility

.knowledge is Node-based, repo-local, and designed to stay useful across multiple coding agents without requiring cloud sync.
