One OKF unit: markdown + YAML frontmatter, one fact/decision/rule

concept file

Definition

A concept file is the atomic unit of an OKF bundle: one kebab-case markdown file, with YAML frontmatter and a plain-prose body, representing exactly one concept (rule, decision, service, glossary term, runbook, etc.).

Expanded

The path IS the identity — knowledge/rules/no-card-on-file.md is a stable reference. Required frontmatter on every concept file: type, title, description, tags, timestamp. Optional fields: resource, supersedes, superseded_by, status, format_version, related. Body is plain markdown; cross-links are relative paths.

The whole knowledge/ directory is composed of concept files. See _okf.md for the full contract.
