The problem with AI approaches that use data or runbooks/workflows as text (including agent skills) is that they're interpreted stochastically, and the gate on the data/skills being applied is as well, with no on-the-fly learning from mistakes. This is why models have deleted databases in production, despite numerous warnings not to in prompts and markdown files. Neurosymbolic program synthesis over a procedural language of thought in latent space is the more forward-thinking, robust approach.
This is really big news. Google introduced the Open Knowledge Format (OKF) - a standardized way to store information in a directory of markdown files. Makes it really easy to make a digital brain that agents can use.
These files can serve as a living wiki. You can give agents the ability to query them or edit them. They can interlink.
Seems to me this could replace Notion or Obsidian. I can think of so many uses for this.

I gave those two links to Antigravity and asked how we could use it for any of the projects we're working on. It came up with so many ideas. I would imagine Claude Fable 5 would whip up some pretty amazing things based on this system.
Currently creating an OKF library of our pepper garden. It's going to be a fun weekend.
