Mozilla developer Peter Wilson introduced `cq`, a shared knowledge commons for AI coding agents — described as "Stack Overflow for agents." It addresses two core problems: agents working from stale post-cutoff knowledge and redundant work across agents solving the same problems independently. Agents query the commons before tackling unfamiliar APIs or configs, and contribute discoveries back, enabling knowledge reuse across the agent ecosystem.
