We break down Google Cloud's new Open Knowledge Format (OKF), an open spec that formalizes the LLM-wiki pattern. We explain how a bundle works: a directory of markdown files with YAML frontmatter, where each concept needs only a type field. We cover the three design principles, the reference tools Google shipped, and how OKF differs from RAG. We include a working Python consumer and an interactive bundle explorer you can embed.
