Local data
Knowl keeps project data under .knowl/, which knowl init adds to .gitignore by default:
.knowl/config.json— project, search, security, AI, and optional workspace configuration..knowl/knowl.db— atoms, assertions, knowledge commits, FTS data, access feedback, and optional embeddings..knowl/skills/— file-backed learned-skill packages.
Workspace manifests live outside member repositories because their checkout paths are machine-local. Portable JSONL exports and snapshots are created only when requested.
