openknowledge get

Read an exact file, entrypoint, or metadata record. Use search when you need ranked or budget-limited retrieval.

Usage

okn get <key-or-path>
okn get <key-or-path> <entry-or-file>
okn get <key-or-path> --info

key-or-path can be a local Markdown file, registry key, or bundle directory. entry-or-file can be a named bundle entrypoint or bundle-relative Markdown path. --info prints metadata instead of content.

Selection

1. A standalone Markdown path reads that exact file.
2. A bundle with one argument reads okf_bundle_entry_default, when declared, or root index.md.
3. A second argument first matches okf_bundle_entry_<name>, then falls back to a relative Markdown path.

Relative selections must stay inside the bundle. They cannot traverse symlinks. A missing file, directory selection, or path escape stops the command before output.

Bundle metadata is optional root index.md frontmatter:

okf_bundle_name: accessibility
okf_bundle_title: Accessibility Review
okf_bundle_entry_default: agents/accessibility-checker.md
okf_bundle_entry_review: agents/accessibility-review.md

Entrypoints are Markdown files. --info reports available bundle and page metadata. This metadata includes titles, purpose, tags, and entrypoint paths. An OKF bundle without this metadata remains valid. It uses the root index.
