Google OKF v0.1 Formalizes the CLAUDE.md Memory-Folder Pattern
June 18, 2026
Google Cloud published Open Knowledge Format (OKF) v0.1, a spec for organizing institutional knowledge as a directory of markdown files with YAML frontmatter, using one required field (type) and standard markdown links. It formalizes the CLAUDE.md/memory-folder pattern already common in AI assistant setups. The repo is live on GitHub under GoogleCloudPlatform/knowledge-catalog.
