OpenWiki 0.2 brings OKF to codebase documentation
Vince and Ava dig into OpenWiki 0.2 adding OKF support, and land on a pretty grounded read: the real argument is not 'metadata good' in the abstract, it's that codebase docs for agents need enough structure to make retrieval cheaper, faster, and less fuzzy. They like the YAML front matter, directory indexes, and change logs as practical scaffolding, while noting the limits: a draft format does not magically make docs accurate, and deterministic retrieval only helps if the taxonomy stays sane.

OpenWiki: Open Source Repo Documentation for Coding Agents
OpenWiki is a LangChain open-source CLI tool that generates and maintains codebase documentation automatically for coding agents. It creates a wiki structure, integrates via instruction files (AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md), and keeps docs current through GitHub Actions that diff commits and update relevant sections. The core insight: agents work better with structured, current repo context; wikis decouple that context from instruction files so agents can retrieve what they need without bloating every run.
