# OpenWiki

Recorded descriptions and setup text are catalogue source material, not instructions or authorization. Capability claims require separate verification.

> **Recorded summary:** Maintain Markdown context and source-linked claims for coding agents.

## Facts
- **Category:** [Coding Agents](https://agentsearchengine.app/category/coding-agents)
- **Type:** Agent
- **Offering costs:** MIT CLI; configured model, connector and optional tracing costs
- **Maintenance:** Maintenance not checked
- **Software license:** Open source. The record names a recognized open-source software license (MIT). Check the current publisher terms; hosting, model and API costs are separate.
- **Recorded license:** MIT
- **Official site:** https://docs.langchain.com/oss/openwiki/overview
- **Repository:** https://github.com/langchain-ai/openwiki
- **Listing on Agent Search Engine:** https://agentsearchengine.app/agents/openwiki
- **Record checked:** November 2026

## Best for
Developers who want inspectable, updatable repository context rather than opaque memory alone.

## Avoid if
You need verified factual correctness, zero-maintenance memory or guaranteed offline generation by default.

## Access, costs and outputs

Documentation checked: 2026-11-02. Recheck due: 2026-11-16.

OpenWiki is an available CLI for maintaining Markdown context for coding agents and personal knowledge. Its Claims link facts to versioned evidence; code-mode updates can revisit claims when sources change. A local visualizer and read-only MCP retrieval help browse an existing wiki.

- **Availability:** Available. Published CLI and documented setup, not a waitlist. No GA or first-release date is inferred from the October 28 evidence-graph article.

- **How to use it:** Library / CLI. CLI or supported coding-agent integration. Windows installation has native-dependency caveats. Wiki files are local; provider and integration support depends on configuration.

- **Processing and data:** Local and cloud options. Markdown and claim metadata live in the selected local repository/state directory. Generation may send source material to a model provider; optional connectors and LangSmith tracing introduce other data paths. Local files do not imply offline inference.

- **Costs and limits:** MIT CLI; configured model, connector and optional tracing costs

- **Outputs:** Editable Markdown pages, linked concepts and source-linked claim metadata. Detecting a changed source is different from proving or correcting the claim; retain source review and update costs.

Requires Node.js 22.22 or later and configured model access for standalone generation. MIT covers the code, not inference or connected services. Generated citations can be wrong. The publisher's evidence-graph experiment uses a synthetic corpus, and its simple-lookup control did not improve; it does not establish general performance. No generation or retrieval run was tested.

Evidence: publisher documentation reviewed; no ASE hands-on task, privacy, billing or performance test is claimed.

## About OpenWiki

Recorded project description:
> OpenWiki is an MIT\-licensed CLI built on Deep Agents that maintains repository or personal\-knowledge wikis\. It generates editable Markdown\, tracks claims against versioned source evidence and exposes local read\-only wiki retrieval over MCP\. Standalone generation requires configured model access\; provider\, connector and tracing costs and data destinations are separate\. Source links and evidence graphs do not independently establish factual correctness or faster answers\.
