Commonplace Knowledge
A reproducible starting knowledge pack for Commonplace, a local research and memory tool. Published as a Hugging Face dataset repository at DevParker/Commonplace-Knowledge. It includes the pinned encoder as a component; it is not a newly trained model.
The payload contains 241,787 Simple English Wikipedia articles, 344,558 passages, 5,772 narrow extracted assertions, a vector index, and a clean writable-memory seed with no custom additions. No personal notes, saved model thoughts, research transcripts, generation-model weights or credentials are included.

manifest.json lists SHA-256 and byte size for every payload file. All payloads
are real local files, with no links into another project. Large files have Git LFS
attributes. The manifest records the exact total; the pack is approximately 3.3 GiB.
Pinned sources
- Dataset:
wikimedia/wikipedia, snapshot20231101.simple, revisionb04c8d1ceb2f5cd4588862100d08de323dccfbaa. - Encoder:
google/embeddinggemma-2, revision914f7f89142e33e77833254d9c9b90c3cef7303b.
The index uses exact inner-product search over normalized FP32 vectors.
The metadata's storage_dtype: float16 describes the original input shards,
not the internal FAISS index representation. Redundant input shards are excluded.
Use
Install the independent Commonplace MCP/API. It does not include or require Bantam Factory or a generation model. From the software checkout, after installing its Python and Node dependencies:
.venv/bin/python scripts/download_pack.py --dest ../Commonplace-Knowledge
.venv/bin/python scripts/prepare_store.py --pack ../Commonplace-Knowledge
node scripts/commonplace.mjs serve
The software's release descriptor pins an exact dataset commit and pack identity. No Hugging Face sign-in is required to download this public pack. See the installation and MCP connection guide.
Setup verifies checksums and copies the public seed into a separate writable local store. Subsequent research changes that store, not this public pack. The encoder runs on CPU by default. A local generation model is needed only for the optional full researcher, not for direct memory access.
The dataset card declares two separate Parquet configurations, articles and
passages. If using the Hugging Face datasets library after publication, choose
one explicitly; they have different schemas. Commonplace itself downloads the
whole pinned pack and uses its local SQLite/FAISS files, without that library.
Coverage and limitations
This is Simple English Wikipedia from November 2023. It does not contain the complete English Wikipedia and is not a current world-knowledge database. Sparse articles, missing topics, ambiguous entities and extraction errors remain. Similarity scores do not establish truth. A source citation does not prove that a model correctly interpreted the source.
Wikipedia's editorial and geographic coverage is uneven. Short, simplified articles can omit important qualifications, and the source may contain errors, outdated information or sensitive material. This release does not independently fact-check every article or extracted assertion.
The seed contains no model interpretations; these accrue only in a user's local writable memory. No promise of automatic improvement or universal answer-quality gains is made. See the software repository's validation and design documents.
