## In short

OpenKnowledge v0.18.0 ships a codebase-wiki starter pack that scaffolds an agent-written wiki of a repo, plus AI editing with Claude, Codex, and Cursor in a local-first markdown app.

## What it is

OpenKnowledge v0.18.0 is the latest stable release of Inkeep's local-first markdown editor and LLM wiki. The headline feature is the new `codebase-wiki` starter pack: it scaffolds a `wiki/` folder and an overview hub, then an agent fills it in with architecture notes, module descriptions, data flows, and Mermaid diagrams.

## How it works

The starter pack writes a structured wiki layout into the repo, and a workflow-driven agent generates content into it using configurable parameters for audience and depth. Pages are version-controlled, private by default, and editable in OpenKnowledge's WYSIWYG markdown editor alongside Claude, Codex, and Cursor integrations and MCP-based agentic search.

## Why it matters

OpenKnowledge gives teams a way to keep a navigable, up-to-date knowledge base of a codebase without paying for a SaaS wiki. Because the files are plain markdown synced via Git, the same wiki can be read by humans and by other AI tools through MCP.

## Who it's for

Engineering teams wanting a self-hosted AI wiki
