# Knowledge

Mastra released Knowledge, a shared store that organizes company documents, policies and decisions as named Markdown pages with scopes, giving agents company-wide context. Previously agents could get context from instructions, retrieval-augmented generation, skills, or tools that query APIs and databases, but those paths are usually read-only and need manual updates when information changes. Knowledge works with signals, Mastra's context engineering primitive, to bring relevant knowledge into an agent's context and keep it current while the agent runs, and agents can search, read and write pages within the scopes they can access.
