`.cqk` — ClawQL Knowledge (draft)

Extension: .cqk
Media type (proposed): text/vnd.clawql.knowledge+markdown
Status: Draft v0.1 · ADR 0010 · Base: OKF v0.1 · memory/okf.md

Purpose

OKF-compatible knowledge entries that are ClawQL-produced and carry provenance / audit linkage. Generic OKF .md remains valid for notes that do not need ClawQL-owned tooling.

Serialization

Markdown with YAML frontmatter (OKF). File path = concept identity.

Required frontmatter

Field	Notes
`type`	OKF required — ClawQL taxonomy (`decision`, `context`, `task_result`, …)
`clawql_okf`	`true`
`worm_ref`	WORM entry hash or `null` when not yet sealed

Recommended frontmatter

Field	Notes
`title`, `description`, `resource`, `tags`, `timestamp`	OKF recommended
`correlation_id`	Session / request correlation
`agent_id`	Producing agent
`verdict`	Optional eval / quality
`entity_refs`	List of Ontology entity names or instance ids

Distinguishing `.cqk` vs `.md` vs `.cqe`

File	Role
`.md` (OKF)	Portable knowledge; ClawQL can read/write
`.cqk`	Same + required provenance fields; Onyx/doctor treat as ClawQL-owned
`.cqe`	Schema definition (entity type), not an instance note

Tooling hooks

memory_ingest — may write .cqk when wormRef / provenance requested (future flag); today writes OKF .md
memory_recall / Onyx — optional boost or filter on .cqk
clawql doctor — verify worm_ref resolves when present

Non-goals

Replacing Obsidian / OKF interoperability
Forcing all vault notes to .cqk

Example

Prefer the decision rationale template body sections when type: decision. Worked example: examples/ontology/okf/decision-rationale-template.md.
