commonplace (zby)
July 1, 2026 · View on GitHub
zby/commonplace (~70★) describes itself as "the theory of LLM wikis, running as one" — a
framework for agent-operated knowledge that is typed, linked, and review-gated markdown the
agents execute. Homepage: https://zby.github.io/commonplace/.
Why it's worth studying
- Review-gated is the direct embodiment of the top critique's proposed fix — the agent proposes, a gate approves — rather than "the LLM owns the layer entirely."
- Typed + linked aligns closely with OKF's
type+ cross-link model; a good reference for how far to push typing. - It maintains an agent-curated index of related systems (https://zby.github.io/commonplace/notes/related-systems/related-systems-index/) — itself a live example of a wiki used to survey its own ecosystem, and a useful external map to cross-check ours against.
Relevance to us
commonplace is the most theory-forward project in the thread and the clearest articulation of the review-gated stance. When we decide the default autonomy level of our ingest skill (fully autonomous vs. propose-and-approve), this is the reference argument for the cautious end — complementary to the OKF-native agent's provenance-based trust model.
