License: Apache 2.0 (format specs are open; implementations may be any license)
Open, one-page specifications for ClawQL-owned file types. Base content remains human-readable YAML or OKF Markdown. The extension is a tooling signal, not a binary container.

Sequencing
- OKF on vault
.md— memory/okf.md (shipped) - These draft specs (now)
- Dual-accept in CLI (e.g. ontology lint accepts
.cqe+.yaml) - Promote files + editor/CI hooks when stable
Design rule
A new extension is justified only when ClawQL-specific tooling must treat the file differently from generic YAML/Markdown. Configuration and plain OKF notes stay in existing formats.
