Glossary

Plain-language definitions of the terms this bundle uses. It grows as the bundle does.

• OKF (Open Knowledge Format) — an open, human- and agent-friendly format for representing knowledge as a directory of markdown files with structured metadata.
• Bundle — a self-contained collection of OKF concepts, distributed as a folder, a git repository, or an archive. The unit you publish and share.
• Concept — one unit of knowledge: a single markdown file with a metadata header and a body.
• Frontmatter — the short block of structured metadata at the top of a concept, in which type is the only required field.
• Type — the label that says what kind of knowledge a concept holds (for example a framework, a playbook, or a reference).
• Provenance — the record of where a claim came from: its source, and whether it has been checked.
• Agent-native — designed so an AI agent, not only a person, can read and use the knowledge directly.
• MCP (Model Context Protocol) — an open protocol that lets an AI assistant connect to an external source and read it as a live tool.
