Use Google's OKF to feed Hermes Agent cleaner, structured context
A common problem when using is dumping messy context at them — pasted documents, entire code , long prompts, scattered markdown files. Google published a spec called Open Knowledge Format (OKF) to address this. OKF is not a new app or platform; it is simply a lightweight folder structure using plain markdown files, , and naming conventions.
Each file declares what the knowledge is about, who it is for, key concepts, examples, source references, a , and links to related files. The result is that instead of one giant blob, the agent receives small, purposeful pieces of information. A community member built two free tools around this for : a prompt generator that creates the OKF folder structure for any project, and a validator that checks whether the finished structure is correct.
OKF is not meant to replace Notion or Obsidian — it is a portable, minimal standard that can be used alongside any existing tool.
Key points
- A free prompt generator creates an OKF folder structure for your project automatically, ready to paste into
- OKF uses only markdown files, , and folders — no new platform needed
- Each file includes purpose, key concepts, examples, sources, , and links to related files
- A free validator tool checks that your finished OKF follows the spec correctly
- OKF is a lightweight complement to existing tools like Notion or Obsidian, not a replacement
