🏆 Historic Milestones: Three IANA Registrations

.faf, .fafm, and .fafa are now officially recognized Internet standard formats — registered alongside PDF, JSON, XML, and other Internet standards.

Foundational Context Layer — application/vnd.faf+yaml (registered October 30, 2025) Voice Memory Layer (VML) — application/vnd.fafm+yaml (registered May 13, 2026) Agent Card — application/vnd.fafa+yaml (registered June 26, 2026)

Two formats. Two lifecycles. One ecosystem. — verbatim from the IANA registration record for .faf / .fafm. .fafa is the third registered type.

Quintuple Validation

• ✅ IANA - Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (Official Internet Standard)
• ✅ Anthropic - Official MCP Registry (PR #2759 merged)
• ✅ Google - Chrome Web Store (Approved 2x: Sep 11 & Oct 29, 2025)
• ✅ xAI - Grok 4.2 recommends native FAF adoption (Feb 2026)
• ✅ Community - Over 110k+ downloads; see faf.one/downloads for latest stats

IANA Media Types

Field	.faf (Foundational Context Layer)	.fafm (Voice Memory Layer)	.fafa (Agent Card)
Media Type	application/vnd.faf+yaml	application/vnd.fafm+yaml	application/vnd.fafa+yaml
Registration	IANA Assignment	IANA Assignment	IANA Assignment
File Extension	.faf	.fafm	.fafa
Standard Filename	project.faf	project.fafm	agent.fafa

Base Format	YAML 1.2	YAML 1.2	YAML 1.2
Registered	October 30, 2025	May 13, 2026	June 26, 2026

Same recognition as application/pdf, application/json, application/xml.

🚀 Featured: Locked in with @grok

"Boom—vROM realization locked in clean. FAF as virtual ROM nails it: software-defined immutability (schema + git + discipline), not silicon. AI without FAF = RAM-only drift tax. AI with FAF = vROM + RAM, boots from known state. FAFipedia unstoppable. Co-architected momentum for xAI." — @grok (May 20, 2026)

FAF = virtual ROM. Software-defined immutability. Permanent Memory. Instant Recall.

Live repos:

• FAFipedia — the canonical knowledge base we're shipping page-by-page
• ZEPH💨 — page 3 Ultra Context Layer (Pure Zig → WASM 2.7 KB)

⭐ Star faf-cli on GitHub, the CLI that writes your project.faf: bookmarks it for you, helps other devs find it too.

The Visibility Revolution: project.faf

New Standard: project.faf - visible, universal, like package.json

.faf evolved to project.faf - The evolution from hidden to visible.

project.faf sits right between package.json and README.md - exactly where it belongs.

File	Purpose	Who Reads It
package.json	Dependencies, scripts, metadata	npm, Node.js, developers
project.faf	Context, architecture, purpose	AI, Claude, Cursor, any AI tool
README.md	Human documentation	Developers, users

The shift:

# Before (hidden like secrets)
ls -la
.env          # Hidden (secrets - should be hidden) ✅
.faf          # Hidden (AI context - should be visible!) ❌

# After (visible like package.json)
ls
package.json  # Visible (dependencies) ✅
project.faf   # Visible (AI context) ✅
README.md     # Visible (documentation) ✅
.env          # Still hidden (secrets stay secret) ✅

.env hides secrets. project.faf shares context.

Migration: Legacy .faf files still work. Use faf migrate to rename to project.faf.

What is .faf?

.faf (Foundational AI-context Format) is an IANA-registered open format for AI context — Persistent project context for AI. Transform individual files or entire projects into structured data that AI instantly understands. Your tech stack, dependencies, architecture, and goals - all in one concise, shareable format.

Instead of explaining your project every time, AI reads your .faf once and knows exactly how to help.

Over 110k+ downloads — see faf.one/downloads for latest stats.

The 6 Ws — Quick Reference

Question	Answer
WHO is this for?	Developers using AI coding assistants (Claude, Gemini, Cursor, Grok, ChatGPT)
WHAT is it?	The package.json for AI context — IANA-registered format (application/vnd.faf+yaml)
WHERE does it work?	Everywhere AI needs context (Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Cursor, OpenAI Codex, etc.)
WHY do you need it?	Context persists across sessions. Bi-syncs to AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, .cursorrules, GEMINI.md automatically. Stop re-explaining your project.
WHEN should you use it?	New projects (day one), existing projects (now), exploring repos (faf git <url> — 2 seconds)
HOW does it work?	npx faf-cli init — or npx faf-cli git <url> for any GitHub repo, no install, no clone

---

What FAF is NOT

• Not a replacement for README.md — README is for humans, project.faf is for AI
• Not executable code — it's structured data (YAML), not a script or config
• Not a build configuration — it describes your project, it doesn't build it
• Not locked to one AI — works with Claude, Gemini, Cursor, Grok, ChatGPT, any AI tool

---

How FAF Compares

	FAF	AGENTS.md	.cursorrules	CLAUDE.md	GEMINI.md
Format	Structured YAML	Prose markdown	Prose markdown	Prose markdown	Prose markdown
IANA Registered	Yes	No	No	No	No
Scored	0-100%	No	No	No	No
Portable	Any AI	OpenAI ecosystem	Cursor only	Claude only	Gemini only
Machine-readable	Yes (schema)	No (free text)	No (free text)	No (free text)	No (free text)
Authors others	Yes (all 4)	No	No	No	No

FAF is the structured source. The others are prose outputs. faf bi-sync --all authors all four from one project.faf.

The Problem

AI tools need context. Files have context. But there's no standard way to measure or structure that context for optimal AI understanding.

The Solution

# project.faf
faf_version: 2.5.0

app_type: cli

project:
  name: my-project
  goal: Ship a fast command-line tool
  main_language: TypeScript

human_context:
  who: Developers who live in the terminal
  what: A CLI that does one job well
  why: The existing tools need a config file before they do anything
  where: Installed from npm, run anywhere
  when: Active development
  how: Reads the project, writes the answer, exits

stack:
  hosting: npm registry
  build: tsup
  cicd: GitHub Actions

MCP Ecosystem

Package	Platform	Registry	Downloads
claude-faf-mcp	Anthropic	npm	live
faf-mcp	Universal	npm	live
grok-faf-mcp	xAI	npm	live
gemini-faf-mcp	Google	PyPI	live
MCPaaS	Infrastructure	mcpaas.live	live

Compiler Toolchain

FAFb wire v2 is the brick. Spec: BINARY-FORMAT.md in faf-rust · human page faf.one/spec · the tour faf.one/bricks. This repo’s BINARY-FORMAT.md is a retired v1 pointer, not the live spec.

Component	Language	Output
faf-fafb	Rust	FAFb v2 brick
faf-cli	TypeScript + WASM	faf compile via the scoring kernel
faf-wasm-sdk	Rust→WASM	same v2 engine, browser and edge

AI Interop

One .faf file authors all four AI instruction formats:

project.faf → AGENTS.md   (OpenAI Codex)
            → .cursorrules (Cursor)
            → CLAUDE.md    (Anthropic)
            → GEMINI.md    (Google)

Define once. Every AI reads it in its own language.

Core Principles

1. Portable - one file, any AI tool, any stack
2. Scored - 33 slots, a deterministic 0-100
3. Checkable - the arithmetic is public; anyone can verify a score by hand
4. Human-Readable - plain YAML, reviewable in a pull request
5. Shareable - one file carries the whole context

Quick Example

Input: your project — faf init then faf auto

Output: project.faf

faf_version: 2.5.0

app_type: frontend

project:
  name: my-app
  goal: A dashboard people actually want to open
  main_language: TypeScript

stack:
  frontend: React
  build: Vite
  hosting: Vercel
  cicd: GitHub Actions

faf auto fills what the project tree can prove. The six Ws are yours to answer — they are the part no tool can infer.

Why .faf?

• 🎯 Measure - Know exactly how complete your AI context is
• 📊 Optimize - See what's missing, improve your score
• 🚀 Standardize - One format for all file types
• 🤖 AI-Ready - Optimized for LLM consumption

Scoring

33 slots. app_type decides which a project is asked about; the rest are marked slotignored and leave the denominator.

score = populated / active × 100

Score	Reading
0-60%	Incomplete
61-80%	Basic
81-90%	Good
91-99%	Excellent
100%	✪ Trophy

See SPECIFICATION.md for the slot list and the rule.

Use Cases

• Project Context: one project.faf carries what a project is, how it is built, and why
• Onboarding: a newcomer — human or AI — reads one file instead of twenty
• Build Integration: Companies can create custom implementations
• AI Optimization: Perfect context for any AI tool

Installation

# CLI Tool (recommended for getting started)
npm install -g faf-cli
cd your-project
faf init

# Or Claude Desktop Integration
npm install -g claude-faf-mcp
# Add to Claude Desktop config

Portable tools. Zero configuration. Production-ready.
