Google OKF turns AI memory folders into a simple spec
released v0.1 on June 12. The basic idea is to store knowledge as a folder of markdown files, with a short block at the top of each file. The only required field is type.
An index.md file for navigation and a log.md file for change history are optional. Files link to each other with normal markdown links. This is close to the memory-folder setup many Claude users already build for s.
Making type the only required field gives notes just enough structure to be searchable without forcing a heavy system. Normal markdown links are easier to move between tools than wiki-style [[links]] because they work on GitHub and do not need a special resolver. OKF does not define the whole content model; it mainly standardizes the minimum shape that lets tools read and exchange the same knowledge folder.
