Knowns Documentation

Knowns is a project context layer for software teams and AI agents. It gives a repository one shared place for tasks, docs, memory, templates, semantic search, and AI integrations.

Use these docs if you want to:

  • set up Knowns in an existing repository
  • keep project work, decisions, and docs readable by both humans and AI
  • connect assistants through MCP, skills, or lightweight shim files
  • use the Web UI for boards, docs, graph views, and chat workflows

Core ideas

  • Task: planned work with status, acceptance criteria, notes, and links to context.
  • Doc: durable project knowledge such as architecture, specs, decisions, or onboarding material.
  • Memory: short reusable context that should be recalled later, such as conventions or preferences.
  • Template: reusable project scaffolding for repeated code or document patterns.
  • Search / retrieval: local context lookup that connects tasks, docs, memory, and code references.
  • MCP and skills: AI integration surfaces. MCP exposes structured tools; skills are agent-side workflow commands such as /kn-* in Claude or $kn-* in Codex.
