Main

  • Use mda validate and the target schemas as a CI gate so published SKILL/AGENTS/CLAUDE artifacts stay structurally correct.

  • Use integrity digests (--integrity) and mda integrity verify when you need tamper-evident docs in agent supply chains.

Source-backed notes

  • README describes .mda as a Markdown superset that compiles into SKILL.md, AGENTS.md, MCP-SERVER.md, and CLAUDE.md outputs.

  • CLI manual shows a minimal flow: mda initmda validatemda compile --integritymda integrity verify.

FAQ

  • What command does the CLI install?: The CLI manual says @markdown-ai/cli installs one command: mda.
  • Can I run it without installing?: Yes — CLI manual shows npx @markdown-ai/cli --help as a no-install entry point.
  • What should I verify in CI?: Validate both the .mda source and emitted targets, then run mda integrity verify for integrity checks.
