# Provide knowledge to agents

> Add company context, policies, and playbooks to the Knowledge Store

Agent Console automatically makes your synchronized Knowledge Store available to agent runs. You do not attach knowledge to individual agents or jobs.

## Initialize the Knowledge Store

1. In Sidecar, select **Context → Knowledge Store**.
2. If no store exists, click **Initialize Knowledge Store**.
3. Wait for the bootstrap to finish. You can leave the page while it runs.

## Add useful context

Create or upload Markdown, text, or YAML files. Good candidates include:

* Company and product terminology
* Data ownership and escalation policies
* Engineering conventions
* Incident-response playbooks
* Metric definitions and business nuances

Organize related files into folders so people can maintain them over time.

<Note>
  A missing Knowledge Store does not block a run. The agent continues without
  that context.
</Note>

Context Garage is separate from the Knowledge Store. It publishes structured data context to downstream tools; it is not a general per-job knowledge attachment.
