# Outside Chair — Knowledge

Outside Chair — Knowledge helps a person distinguish information they can find
from information their organisation has actually confirmed for use.

The loop is **RECORD → CONFIRM → USE → CORRECT**. Every governed answer shows the
exact evidence, who confirmed that version, what contradicts it and what it is used
for. Public evidence does not become local organisational approval automatically.

Version 0.1.9 narrows the first OpenAI directory submission to nine fully enabled
tools: seven lifecycle tools and two read-only reports. It includes five tested
positive cases, three safe refusal cases and a versioned reviewer walkthrough.
A person may activate Knowledge on
an eligible Outside Chair workspace or create a private one. Private receipts
preserve structured source provenance, exact versions, named confirmations and
append-only corrections inside the AI conversation. Public questions can
retrieve transient Wikipedia evidence with the exact revision and no workspace,
opt-in, seed corpus, moderation or saved query. Company notices are not advertised
or exposed until their separate implementation and release gates pass.

This plugin shares the Outside Chair identity platform while retaining its own MCP
resource, scopes, tools, records and release lifecycle. It contains no Strategy,
Performance or Task skill.
