Open Source OpenWiki: A Knowledge Base for Agents
BraceSproul · x · 2026-07-16
The author argues that agents often fail not because of insufficient context, but because the underlying model is too weak. To bridge this gap, they propose using an LLM wiki: structuring codebases, product details, or domain knowledge into a knowledge base that agents can query.
They recently open-sourced OpenWiki, their implementation of this paradigm. The team is also hosting a meetup at their new office to discuss this approach, covering:
- How to actually build and maintain such systems
- Whether the term "wiki" is accurate
- How Cognition built DeepWiki
The event will feature a sharing session by @jacobtpl from Cognition's research and engineering team.
