MIF
Four quadrants, one mark The chevron-M mark at the center of four labeled quadrants: Tutorials, How-to guides, Reference, and Explanation. FOUR MODES, ONE MARK Tutorials Learning-oriented. Build your first bundle, step by step. How-to guides Task-oriented. Recipes for a specific job, like migration. Reference Information-oriented. The schema and API reference. Look it up.

MIF Documentation

Written once. Read by both. The MIF ecosystem documentation, organized by what you need to do.
Start the tutorial Read the spec

These docs are organized by the Diátaxis framework — four modes, each matched to a different need — plus the architecture decision records.

Tutorials Learning-oriented. Start here: build your first MIF bundle step by step.
How-to guides Task-oriented. Recipes for specific jobs, such as migrating existing data into MIF.
Reference Information-oriented. The schema reference and API reference — look things up.
Explanation Understanding-oriented. Why MIF is shaped the way it is, including OKF conformance.
Decisions (ADRs) The architecture decision records — the context and consequences behind each choice.
Specification The normative MIF specification and canonical JSON Schemas, served at mif-spec.dev.

Across the ecosystem

Ontology corpus The shared, growing corpus of MIF ontologies — the YAML a person reads and the JSON-LD a parser resolves.
mif-docs plugin The Claude Code documentation skill suite — one skill per document genre over a MIF Level-1 floor.
Plugin marketplace The modeled-information-format Claude Code plugin marketplace — SHA-pinned, attested, fail-closed admitted.
mif-rs The Rust implementation of MIF — core library, CLI, MCP server, and research-harness tooling.
Structured MADR The Structured MADR specification — a machine-checkable superset of the MADR architectural decision record format.
Org governance & release runbooks The org-level governing runbooks — release, branch-protection, Dependabot auto-merge, and labels — that this repo follows.
