OKF Explorer documentation

Start with a question, inspect the evidence, then make a small bundle of your own. These guides serve consumers, domain experts, students and knowledge workers as well as contributors.

Start here

• Start with knowledge you can inspect: choose a useful first task.
• Try a bundle with AI: a worked evidence question with a human fallback.
• Choose an example: one catalogue, grouped by purpose.
• Choose an AI access route: files, public links, local agents, Copilot and experimental page tools.
• Choose your journey: different tasks and successful stopping points.
• Make your first bundle: a complete fictional starter, exact commands and expected checks.

Use and learn

• Use Explorer: current search, facets, highlighting, keeping sets, panels and evidence.
• Inspect a retained evidence example: a seven-step demonstration of a fixed package, its source links and its limits.
• AI Infrastructure walkthrough: one concept across Markdown and Explorer.
• Beginner reference: explanations when you need them, without required sequential reading.
• Reading help for source passages: check exact source wording and open help at declared occurrences.
• Optional project studio: research and create a larger bundle; app creation is optional.
• Map manual and legislation guide: specialist journeys and their limits.

Author and maintain

• Learning presentation: design goal-led journeys and conceptual filters.
• Bundle authoring: core fields, optional domain profiles and richer publication.
• Foundry prompt kit: governed production authoring after the small starter.
• Build and publication method: impact planning, source intake and release gates.
• Development guide and repository guide: maintain Explorer itself.
• Technical reference map: contracts, domain specifications, evaluations and history.

Quality and review

Use conformance, the evaluation harness and the technical reference map. A passing structure or integrity check is not proof of correctness, freshness or official endorsement.

Dated review records

Historical reviews and postmortems retain the evidence and decisions at their stated dates. Follow current task guides for today's interface.

Research Basis

Curated bounded evidence package research retains the research briefs, reports and reconstructed examples with their provenance and limits. The BEP implementation status separates existing code from research proposals and remaining gaps.

Research and public-service references explain the method. The documentation style guide sets British English and plain-language conventions.

Public URLs

Use the example catalogue for named experiences, readiness, limits and the date of verified journeys. govuk-webmcp remains an external frozen competition candidate.
