# Knowledge

> Authoritative facts your agents read before acting.

Knowledge is the ratified, ground-truth layer of your Vault — the facts and conclusions your agents read automatically before they act.

## Knowledge vs. a regular Vault entry

Most things in your [Vault](/concepts/vault) sit there until an agent searches for them. Knowledge is different: it's the highest [trust level](/concepts/trust-levels) (**authoritative**), and it gets injected directly into every relevant agent's context at the start of each run — before the agent does anything else.

In other words: regular Vault entries are pulled when needed. Knowledge is pushed automatically.

## What belongs in Knowledge

* Your positioning and messaging
* Confirmed pricing
* Architectural decisions
* Brand voice rules
* Anything that should govern every agent's behavior without being asked for

## How something becomes Knowledge

An agent (or you) files content as authoritative. Because authoritative content governs future behavior, Orbit flags it for your review first — you approve it, and from that point forward every agent reads it as ground truth. See [the trust intercept](/concepts/trust-levels).
