feat: implement Phase 3 - Schema-for-Schemas Metaschema

Completed Phase 3 of the schema-of-schemas implementation with a
comprehensive metaschema that validates all MarkiTect schema files
against conventions and standards.

Metaschema Implementation (schema-schema-v1.0.md - 650+ lines):
- Validates core JSON Schema fields ($schema, $id, title, description)
- Validates MarkiTect version field (SemVer: major.minor.patch)
- Validates $id URL format (HTTPS with version path)
- Validates MarkiTect extensions:
  - x-markitect-sections: section classifications and content rules
  - x-markitect-content-control: pattern and quality validation
  - x-markitect-metadata: status, authors, tags
  - x-markitect-source: loader metadata (auto-added)
- Section classification validation (required, recommended, optional,
  discouraged, improper)
- Content control pattern validation
- Comprehensive documentation with examples and usage guides

CLI Command (markitect schema-validate):
- Validates schema files against metaschema
- Supports both markdown and JSON schema files
- Detailed error reporting with schema paths
- Structure validation recommendations
- Exit codes for CI/CD integration

Test Coverage (tests/test_schema_metaschema.py - 12 tests, 100% passing):
- Metaschema self-validation
- Manpage schema validation
- Required fields enforcement
- Version format validation (valid and invalid cases)
- $id format validation (valid and invalid cases)
- Section classification validation
- Complete schema with all extensions

Validation Results:
- ✅ Metaschema validates itself successfully
- ✅ Manpage schema (v1.0.md) validates successfully
- ⚠️  Terminology schema needs migration (missing version, incorrect $id)

Progress Tracking:
- Updated TODO.md with Phase 3 completion
- Updated CHANGELOG.md with implementation details
- Next: Phase 4 - Schema Migration

+# Terminology Document Example
+
+This example demonstrates how to use MarkiTect schemas to validate terminology and glossary documents.
+
+## Overview
+
+Terminology documents (glossaries, dictionaries, lexicons) benefit from consistent structure and validation. This example shows how to:
+
+1. Structure terminology documents with clear categories and term definitions
+2. Validate terminology documents using JSON schemas
+3. Use MarkiTect's schema extensions for content control
+
+## Files
+
+- **terminology-example.md** - Example terminology document with proper structure
+- **terminology-schema.json** - JSON schema for validating terminology documents
+- **README.md** - This file
+
+## Terminology Document Structure
+
+A well-structured terminology document includes:
+
+### Required Elements
+
+1. **Main Title (Level 1 Heading)**
+   - Should include keywords: "Terminology", "Glossary", "Terms", or "Definitions"
+
+2. **Category Sections (Level 2 Headings)**
+   - Organize terms into logical groups
+   - Examples: "Core Concepts", "Document Types", "Process Terms"
+
+3. **Term Definitions (Level 3 Headings)**
+   - Each term as a level 3 heading
+   - Followed by structured content
+
+### Term Structure
+
+Each term should include:
+
+**Required:**
+- **Definition:** Clear, concise explanation of the term
+
+**Optional (but recommended):**
+- **Synonyms:** Alternative names or abbreviations
+- **Related Terms:** Links to related concepts
+- **Example:** Practical usage example
+- **Use Cases:** Common scenarios
+- **Format:** For document type terms
+- **Components:** For complex concepts
+- **Steps:** For process terms
+
+## Usage
+
+### Using the Registered Schema
+
+The terminology schema is registered in markitect's database and can be used by name:
+
+```bash
+# List all registered schemas (terminology-schema.json should appear)
+markitect schema-list
+
+# Validate using the registered schema
+markitect validate my-glossary.md --schema terminology-schema.json
+
+# Or use the local file directly
+markitect validate my-glossary.md --schema examples/terminology/terminology-schema.json
+```
+
+### Validate with Detailed Errors
+
+```bash
+markitect validate my-glossary.md --schema terminology-schema.json --detailed-errors
+```
+
+### Register the Schema (if needed)
+
+If the schema isn't already registered, you can add it to markitect's database:
+
+```bash
+markitect schema-ingest markitect/schemas/terminology-schema.json
+```
+
+### Generate Schema from Example
+
+```bash
+markitect schema-generate terminology-example.md --output my-terminology-schema.json
+```
+
+## Schema Features
+
+This schema demonstrates several MarkiTect features:
+
+### 1. Structural Validation
+
+- Enforces consistent heading hierarchy (H1 → H2 → H3)
+- Validates minimum term count
+- Ensures proper document structure
+
+### 2. Content Pattern Validation
+
+- Validates title pattern (must contain terminology-related keywords)
+- Checks for required field labels (Definition:, Synonyms:, etc.)
+- Enforces consistent formatting
+
+### 3. MarkiTect Extensions
+
+The schema uses MarkiTect-specific extensions:
+
+#### `x-markitect-sections`
+Defines section classifications and requirements:
+- `document_title` (required)
+- `category_sections` (required, min 1)
+- `term_definitions` (required, min 1)
+
+#### `x-markitect-content-control`
+Specifies content requirements:
+- Required vs optional components
+- Content quality metrics (word counts)
+- Content instructions for authors
+
+#### `x-markitect-validation-rules`
+Custom validation rules:
+- Minimum term count (3 required, 10+ recommended)
+- Category balance (min 2 terms per category)
+- Definition quality checks
+- Consistency validation
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### 1. Use Consistent Field Labels
+
+Always use the same labels for metadata:
+```markdown
+**Definition:** ...
+**Synonyms:** ...
+**Related Terms:** ...
+```
+
+### 2. Write Clear Definitions
+
+- Start with the term's primary meaning
+- Use 10-200 words
+- Be self-contained (don't require reading other terms)
+- Avoid circular definitions
+
+### 3. Group Related Terms
+
+Organize terms into logical categories:
+- Core Concepts
+- Document Types
+- Process Terms
+- Quality Attributes
+- Deprecated Terms
+
+### 4. Include Examples
+
+Add practical examples for complex terms:
+```markdown
+**Example:**
+\`\`\`markdown
+# Heading
+Paragraph text
+\`\`\`
+```
+
+### 5. Link Related Terms
+
+Use **Related Terms:** to create a terminology graph:
+```markdown
+**Related Terms:** Parser, Token, Node
+```
+
+## Extending the Schema
+
+You can customize the schema for your project:
+
+### Add Custom Field Labels
+
+Extend the `bold_text` enum:
+```json
+"enum": [
+  "Definition:",
+  "Synonyms:",
+  "Your Custom Label:"
+]
+```
+
+### Adjust Quality Metrics
+
+Modify content quality requirements:
+```json
+"content_quality": {
+  "min_words_per_definition": 20,
+  "max_words_per_definition": 300,
+  "readability_target": "business"
+}
+```
+
+### Add Domain-Specific Validation
+
+Include specialized validation rules:
+```json
+"x-markitect-validation-rules": {
+  "domain_specific": {
+    "require_acronym_expansion": true,
+    "require_source_citations": true
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Use Cases
+
+### Documentation Projects
+
+- Software project glossaries
+- API terminology reference
+- Architecture decision records (ADR) glossary
+- Domain-driven design (DDD) ubiquitous language

+# Project Terminology
+
+A glossary of key terms and concepts for this project.
+
+## Core Concepts
+
+### Abstract Syntax Tree
+
+**Definition:** A tree representation of the abstract syntactic structure of source code or markup, where each node represents a construct occurring in the source.
+
+**Synonyms:** AST, Parse Tree
+
+**Related Terms:** Parser, Token, Node
+
+**Example:**
+```markdown
+# Heading
+Paragraph text
+```
+
+The AST representation would include nodes for heading (level 1) and paragraph elements.
+
+### Schema Validation
+
+**Definition:** The process of verifying that a document's structure conforms to a predefined schema specification.
+
+**Synonyms:** Structural Validation, Schema Conformance
+
+**Related Terms:** JSON Schema, Validator, Metaschema
+
+**Use Cases:**
+- Ensuring documentation completeness
+- Enforcing content standards
+- Automated quality checks
+
+## Document Types
+
+### Manpage
+
+**Definition:** A manual page document following Unix/Linux documentation conventions, typically including sections like SYNOPSIS, DESCRIPTION, and OPTIONS.
+
+**Format:** Markdown with specific heading structure
+
+**Related Terms:** Documentation, Manual, Help Text
+
+### Blueprint
+
+**Definition:** A template specification that combines schemas, content instructions, and data templates for generating documents.
+
+**Components:**
+- Schema references
+- Content model
+- Data schema
+- Generation rules
+
+## Process Terms
+
+### Schema Refinement
+
+**Definition:** The process of transforming a rigid, auto-generated schema into a flexible, classification-aware schema with content guidance.
+
+**Steps:**
+1. Analyze existing schema for rigidity
+2. Loosen exact constraints to ranges
+3. Add classification metadata
+4. Include content instructions
+
+**Tools:** `markitect schema-analyze`, `markitect schema-refine`
+
+## Quality Attributes
+
+### Classification Levels
+
+**Definition:** A hierarchical system for categorizing document elements based on their importance and requirements.
+
+**Levels:**
+- **Required**: Must be present (validation fails if missing)
+- **Recommended**: Should be present (warning if missing)
+- **Optional**: May be present (no impact)
+- **Discouraged**: Should not be present (warning if present)
+- **Improper**: Must not be present (validation fails if present)
+
+## Deprecated Terms
+
+### Rigid Schema
+
+**Status:** DEPRECATED - Use "Unrefined Schema" instead
+
+**Definition:** A schema with exact count constraints that make it unusable as a pattern.
+
+**Migration:** Use schema refinement tools to convert to flexible schemas.

+Schema Loader - Extract JSON schemas from markdown files.
+
+This module provides functionality to load schemas from markdown files that
+contain embedded JSON schemas in code blocks, along with YAML frontmatter
+metadata and rich documentation.
+
+Markdown Schema Format:
+    ---
+    schema-id: "https://markitect.dev/schemas/domain/v1"
+    version: "1.0.0"
+    status: "stable|draft|deprecated"
+    ---
+
+    # Schema Title v1.0
+
+    ## Documentation sections...
+
+    ## Schema Definition
+
+    ```json
+    {
+      "$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#",
+      ...
+    }
+    ```
+
+This enables:
+- Rich documentation alongside schemas
+- Version history in same file
+- Human-readable schema files
+- Markdown-first approach aligned with MarkiTect philosophy

+to ensure consistency across the MarkiTect schema ecosystem.
+
+Naming Convention:
+    Format: {domain}-schema-v{major}.{minor}.md
+
+    Components:
+        - domain: lowercase, hyphen-separated identifier (e.g., "manpage", "api-documentation")
+        - schema: literal string "schema"
+        - version: SemVer major.minor (e.g., "v1.0", "v2.1")
+        - extension: ".md" (markdown)
+
+    Valid Examples:
+        ✓ manpage-schema-v1.0.md
+        ✓ terminology-schema-v1.0.md
+        ✓ api-documentation-schema-v1.0.md
+        ✓ my-custom-type-schema-v2.1.md
+
+    Invalid Examples:
+        ✗ manpage.json (missing version and wrong extension)
+        ✗ manpage-v1.md (missing "schema" keyword)
+        ✗ ManPage-Schema-v1.0.md (wrong case - must be lowercase)
+        ✗ manpage-schema-1.0.md (missing 'v' prefix)
+        ✗ manpage-schema-v1.md (missing minor version)

+
+# Unix Manual Page Schema v1.0
+
+## Overview
+
+This schema defines the structure and validation rules for Unix-style manual pages (manpages) in MarkiTect's markdown format. It includes comprehensive section classification, content control patterns, and quality guidelines to ensure consistent, high-quality documentation.
+
+## Features
+
+- **Section Classification System**: Categorizes manpage sections as required, recommended, optional, discouraged, or improper
+- **Content Control**: Validates content patterns, quality metrics, and structural requirements
+- **Flexible Section Names**: Supports alternative section names (e.g., "FLAGS" as alternative to "OPTIONS")
+- **Quality Enforcement**: Minimum/maximum content requirements for paragraphs, code blocks, and words
+
+## Section Classifications
+
+### Required Sections
+- **SYNOPSIS**: Brief command syntax with all options and arguments
+- **DESCRIPTION**: Detailed explanation of command purpose and functionality
+
+### Recommended Sections
+- **EXAMPLES**: Practical usage examples demonstrating common use cases
+- **OPTIONS**: Detailed option descriptions with all flags and behaviors
+- **SEE ALSO**: Related commands and documentation references
+
+### Optional Sections
+- **BUGS**: Known issues and bug reporting information
+- **AUTHORS**: Contributors and maintainers
+- **COPYRIGHT**: License information
+- **HISTORY**: Historical development information
+
+### Discouraged Sections
+- **DEPRECATED**: Legacy content (should move to HISTORY)
+- **OLD_SYNTAX**: Outdated syntax (should move to HISTORY or be removed)
+
+### Improper Sections
+- **INTERNAL_NOTES**: Development notes (must not appear in published docs)
+- **TODO**: Development tasks (remove before publication)
+- **DRAFT**: Draft markers (remove before publication)
+
+## Usage
+
+### Validating a Manpage
+
+```bash
+markitect validate my-command.1.md --schema manpage-schema-v1.0
+```
+
+### Common Validation Errors
+
+1. **Missing Required Sections**: Ensure SYNOPSIS and DESCRIPTION are present
+2. **Content Too Brief**: DESCRIPTION should have at least 50 words
+3. **No Examples**: While optional, EXAMPLES are highly recommended
+4. **Improper Sections**: Remove TODO, DRAFT, and INTERNAL_NOTES before publication
+
+## Content Quality Guidelines
+
+### SYNOPSIS Section
+- Show command name in bold: `**command**`
+- Use brackets `[]` for optional arguments
+- Use italic `*ARG*` for required arguments
+- Keep concise (1-5 lines maximum)
+- Include 5-150 words
+
+### DESCRIPTION Section
+- Start with what the command does
+- Explain why users would use it
+- Describe main functionality and features
+- Minimum 50 words, maximum 1000 words
+- At least 3 sentences
+
+### EXAMPLES Section
+- Use bash code blocks for commands
+- Include comments explaining each example
+- Start simple, progress to complex
+- Show actual output when helpful
+- Cover common use cases first

+# Schema-for-Schemas v1.0
+
+## Overview
+
+This metaschema validates that MarkiTect schema files follow conventions and standards. It ensures schemas are well-formed, properly versioned, and include required MarkiTect extensions.
+
+**Purpose**: Quality assurance for schema authors
+
+**Validates**:
+- Core JSON Schema fields (title, description, $schema, $id)
+- Version format (SemVer: major.minor.patch)
+- $id URL format (HTTPS with version)
+- MarkiTect extensions (x-markitect-*)
+- Section classification structures
+- Content control patterns
+
+## Schema Conventions
+
+### Required Fields
+
+Every MarkiTect schema MUST include:
+
+1. **$schema**: JSON Schema version (draft-07)
+2. **$id**: Canonical HTTPS URL with version
+3. **title**: Human-readable schema name
+4. **description**: Brief explanation of what the schema validates
+5. **version**: SemVer version string (major.minor.patch)
+
+### Recommended Fields
+
+Schemas SHOULD include:
+
+- **type**: Root schema type (usually "object")
+- **properties**: Object properties definition
+- **required**: Array of required property names
+
+### MarkiTect Extensions
+
+#### x-markitect-sections
+
+Defines document sections with classifications and content rules.
+
+**Structure**:
+```json
+{
+  "SECTION_NAME": {
+    "classification": "required|recommended|optional|discouraged|improper",
+    "heading_level": 2,
+    "content_instruction": "What this section should contain",
+    "min_paragraphs": 1,
+    "max_paragraphs": 10,
+    "min_code_blocks": 0,
+    "max_code_blocks": 5,
+    "alternatives": ["ALTERNATIVE_NAME"],
+    "error_message": "Error if validation fails",
+    "warning_if_missing": "Warning if section absent"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Classifications**:
+- `required`: Section must be present
+- `recommended`: Section should be present (warning if missing)
+- `optional`: Section may be present
+- `discouraged`: Section should be avoided (warning if present)
+- `improper`: Section must not be present (error if present)
+
+#### x-markitect-content-control
+
+Defines content patterns and quality metrics.
+
+**Structure**:
+```json
+{
+  "section_name": {
+    "required_patterns": ["regex1", "regex2"],
+    "discouraged_patterns": ["regex3"],
+    "forbidden_patterns": ["regex4"],
+    "content_quality": {
+      "min_words": 50,
+      "max_words": 1000,
+      "readability_target": "technical|general",
+      "min_sentences": 3
+    },
+    "content_instructions": ["instruction1", "instruction2"],
+    "link_validation": {
+      "check_internal": true,
+      "check_external": false,
+      "allow_fragments": true
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+#### x-markitect-metadata
+
+Additional schema metadata.
+
+**Structure**:
+```json
+{
+  "status": "stable|draft|deprecated",
+  "authors": ["Author Name <email@example.com>"],
+  "created": "2026-01-04",
+  "updated": "2026-01-04",
+  "tags": ["tag1", "tag2"]
+}
+```
+
+#### x-markitect-source
+
+Automatically added by schema loader (not in schema file).
+
+**Structure**:
+```json
+{
+  "file": "/path/to/schema-v1.0.md",
+  "filename": "schema-v1.0.md",
+  "format": "markdown",
+  "frontmatter": {...}
+}
+```
+
+## Validation Rules
+
+### $id Format
+
+Must be HTTPS URL with version:
+```
+https://markitect.dev/schemas/{domain}/v{major}
+```
+
+**Examples**:
+- ✅ `https://markitect.dev/schemas/manpage/v1.0`
+- ✅ `https://markitect.dev/schemas/api-documentation/v2.0`
+- ❌ `http://example.com/schema` (not HTTPS)
+- ❌ `https://markitect.dev/schemas/manpage` (no version)
+
+### Version Format
+
+Must be SemVer (major.minor.patch):
+```
+{major}.{minor}.{patch}
+```
+
+**Examples**:
+- ✅ `1.0.0`
+- ✅ `2.5.3`
+- ❌ `1.0` (missing patch)
+- ❌ `v1.0.0` (has 'v' prefix)
+
+### Title Format
+
+Should be descriptive and end with "Schema":
+
+**Examples**:
+- ✅ "Unix Manual Page Schema"
+- ✅ "API Documentation Schema"
+- ❌ "Schema" (too generic)
+
+## Usage
+
+### Validating a Schema
+
+```bash
+# Validate a schema file
+markitect schema-validate manpage-schema-v1.0.md
+
+# Show detailed errors
+markitect schema-validate manpage-schema-v1.0.md --detailed-errors
+```
+
+### Programmatic Usage
+
+```python
+from pathlib import Path
+from markitect.schema_loader import MarkdownSchemaLoader
+
+# Load schema to validate
+loader = MarkdownSchemaLoader()
+schema_data = loader.load_schema(Path("my-schema-v1.0.md"))
+
+# Check structure
+issues = loader.validate_schema_structure(schema_data['schema'])
+if issues:
+    for issue in issues:
+        print(f"⚠️  {issue}")
+```
+
+## Common Validation Errors
+
+### Missing Required Fields
+
+**Error**: `Missing required field: $schema`
+
+**Solution**: Add `$schema` field:
+```json
+{
+  "$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#",
+  ...
+}
+```
+
+### Invalid $id Format
+
+**Error**: `$id should be a full HTTPS URL`
+
+**Solution**: Use proper format:
+```json
+{
+  "$id": "https://markitect.dev/schemas/my-domain/v1.0",
+  ...
+}
+```
+
+### Invalid Version Format
+
+**Error**: `version must be in SemVer format (major.minor.patch)`
+
+**Solution**: Use three-part version:
+```json
+{
+  "version": "1.0.0",
+  ...
+}
+```
+
+### Invalid Section Classification
+
+**Error**: `Invalid classification value: 'mandatory'`
+
+**Solution**: Use valid classification:
+```json
+{
+  "x-markitect-sections": {
+    "SYNOPSIS": {
+      "classification": "required",
+      ...
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Valid values: `required`, `recommended`, `optional`, `discouraged`, `improper`

+# Markdown Schema Loader - User Guide
+
+**Version:** 1.0
+**Status:** Implemented
+**Created:** 2026-01-04
+
+## Overview
+
+The Markdown Schema Loader enables MarkiTect to load JSON schemas from markdown files, combining rich documentation with machine-readable validation rules. This aligns with MarkiTect's markdown-first philosophy while maintaining JSON Schema compatibility.
+
+## Markdown Schema Format
+
+A markdown schema file consists of three parts:
+
+1. **YAML Frontmatter**: Metadata about the schema
+2. **Documentation**: Rich markdown content explaining the schema
+3. **Schema Definition**: JSON schema in a code block
+
+### Example Structure
+
+```markdown
+---
+schema-id: "https://markitect.dev/schemas/domain/v1.0"
+version: "1.0.0"
+status: "stable"
+---
+
+# Schema Title v1.0
+
+## Overview
+Description of what this schema validates...
+
+## Usage
+How to use this schema...
+
+## Schema Definition
+
+```json
+{
+  "$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#",
+  "title": "My Schema",
+  "type": "object",
+  ...
+}
+```
+
+## Version History
+- v1.0.0 - Initial version
+```
+
+## Frontmatter Metadata
+
+### Required Fields
+
+None are strictly required, but these are recommended:
+
+| Field | Type | Description | Example |
+|-------|------|-------------|---------|
+| `schema-id` | string | Canonical URI for the schema | `https://markitect.dev/schemas/manpage/v1.0` |
+| `version` | string | SemVer version | `1.0.0` |
+| `status` | string | Lifecycle status | `stable`, `draft`, `deprecated` |
+
+### Optional Fields
+
+| Field | Type | Description |
+|-------|------|-------------|
+| `domain` | string | Schema domain name |
+| `description` | string | Brief schema description |
+| `authors` | array | List of authors |
+| `created` | string | Creation date (ISO 8601) |
+| `updated` | string | Last update date (ISO 8601) |
+
+### Metadata Merging
+
+Frontmatter metadata takes precedence over schema fields:
+
+- `schema-id` → `$id` in the schema
+- `version` → `version` in the schema
+- `status` → `x-markitect-metadata.status` in the schema
+
+All frontmatter is preserved in `x-markitect-source.frontmatter`.
+
+## JSON Schema Extraction
+
+### Schema Definition Section
+
+The loader prefers JSON blocks under a `## Schema Definition` heading:
+
+```markdown
+## Schema Definition
+
+```json
+{
+  "$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#",
+  ...
+}
+```
+```
+
+### Fallback Behavior
+
+If no `## Schema Definition` section exists, the loader uses the **first** JSON code block in the file.
+
+### Multiple JSON Blocks
+
+You can include multiple JSON blocks in documentation:
+
+```markdown
+## Example Usage
+
+```json
+{
+  "name": "example",
+  "version": "1.0"
+}
+```
+
+## Schema Definition
+
+```json
+{
+  "$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#",
+  "properties": {
+    "name": {"type": "string"},
+    "version": {"type": "string"}
+  }
+}
+```
+```
+
+The loader will use the schema under `## Schema Definition` heading.
+
+## Using the Loader
+
+### Python API
+
+```python
+from pathlib import Path
+from markitect.schema_loader import MarkdownSchemaLoader
+
+# Create loader instance
+loader = MarkdownSchemaLoader()
+
+# Load schema from markdown
+schema_data = loader.load_schema(Path("manpage-schema-v1.0.md"))
+
+# Access components
+schema = schema_data['schema']         # JSON Schema dict
+metadata = schema_data['metadata']     # Frontmatter dict
+docs = schema_data['documentation']    # Full markdown content
+source = schema_data['source_file']    # Source file path
+
+# Use the schema
+print(f"Loaded: {schema['title']}")
+print(f"Version: {schema['version']}")
+print(f"Status: {metadata['status']}")
+```
+
+### Loading from Markdown
+
+```python
+# Load schema
+schema_data = loader.load_schema(Path("my-schema-v1.0.md"))
+
+# Check for issues
+issues = loader.validate_schema_structure(schema_data['schema'])
+if issues:
+    for issue in issues:
+        print(f"⚠️  {issue}")
+```
+
+### Saving to Markdown
+
+```python
+# Create a schema
+schema = {
+    "$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#",
+    "title": "My Schema",
+    "version": "1.0.0",
+    "type": "object",
+    "properties": {
+        "name": {"type": "string"}
+    }
+}
+
+# Save as markdown
+loader.save_schema(
+    schema=schema,
+    md_path=Path("my-schema-v1.0.md"),
+    frontmatter={
+        "schema-id": "https://example.com/schemas/my-schema/v1.0",
+        "status": "draft"
+    }
+)
+```
+
+### Round-Trip Conversion
+
+```python
+# Load existing JSON schema
+import json
+json_schema = json.loads(Path("old-schema.json").read_text())
+
+# Save as markdown
+loader.save_schema(
+    schema=json_schema,
+    md_path=Path("new-schema-v1.0.md")
+)
+
+# Load it back
+schema_data = loader.load_schema(Path("new-schema-v1.0.md"))
+
+# Schemas are equivalent
+assert schema_data['schema']['title'] == json_schema['title']
+```
+
+## Advanced Features
+
+### Listing JSON Blocks
+
+Useful for debugging when multiple JSON blocks exist:
+
+```python
+content = Path("schema.md").read_text()
+blocks = loader.list_json_blocks(content)
+
+print(f"Found {len(blocks)} JSON blocks:")
+for position, json_content in blocks:
+    print(f"  Position {position}: {len(json_content)} chars")
+```
+
+### Schema Structure Validation
+
+Check for recommended fields and conventions:
+
+```python
+issues = loader.validate_schema_structure(schema)
+
+for issue in issues:
+    print(f"⚠️  {issue}")
+
+# Example output:
+# ⚠️  Missing recommended field: $id
+# ⚠️  Missing MarkiTect convention: version field
+```
+
+### Custom Templates
+
+Use custom markdown templates for saving schemas:
+
+```python
+template = """---
+{frontmatter_yaml}
+---
+
+# {title}
+
+{description}
+
+## Schema
+
+```json
+{schema_json}
+```
+"""
+
+loader.save_schema(
+    schema=schema,
+    md_path=Path("custom-schema-v1.0.md"),
+    template=template
+)
+```
+
+## Error Handling
+
+### Common Errors
+
+| Error | Cause | Solution |
+|-------|-------|----------|
+| `FileNotFoundError` | Schema file doesn't exist | Check file path |
+| `SchemaNotFoundError` | No JSON block in markdown | Add ```json code block |
+| `InvalidSchemaFormatError` | Invalid JSON or YAML | Check syntax |
+| `SchemaFilenameError` | Invalid filename format | Use `{domain}-schema-v{major}.{minor}.md` |
+
+### Example Error Handling
+
+```python
+from markitect.schema_loader import (
+    MarkdownSchemaLoader,
+    SchemaNotFoundError,
+    InvalidSchemaFormatError
+)
+
+loader = MarkdownSchemaLoader()
+
+try:
+    schema_data = loader.load_schema(Path("my-schema.md"))
+except FileNotFoundError as e:
+    print(f"❌ File not found: {e}")
+except SchemaNotFoundError as e:
+    print(f"❌ No schema in file: {e}")
+except InvalidSchemaFormatError as e:
+    print(f"❌ Invalid format: {e}")
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### 1. Use Schema Definition Section
+
+Always place the main schema under `## Schema Definition`:
+
+```markdown
+## Schema Definition
+
+```json
+{...}
+```
+```
+
+### 2. Include Frontmatter
+
+Provide metadata for better discoverability:
+
+```yaml
+---
+schema-id: "https://markitect.dev/schemas/domain/v1.0"
+version: "1.0.0"
+status: "stable"
+---
+```
+
+### 3. Add Rich Documentation
+
+Explain the schema purpose, usage, and examples:
+
+```markdown
+## Overview
+This schema validates...
+
+## Usage
+```bash
+markitect validate doc.md --schema my-schema-v1.0
+```
+
+## Examples
+...
+```
+
+### 4. Version Your Schemas
+
+Follow the naming convention:
+
+- Initial: `my-schema-v1.0.md`
+- Minor update: `my-schema-v1.1.md`
+- Breaking change: `my-schema-v2.0.md`
+
+### 5. Validate Structure
+
+Always check for common issues:
+
+```python
+issues = loader.validate_schema_structure(schema)
+if not issues:
+    print("✅ Schema structure is valid")
+```
+
+## Integration with MarkiTect
+
+### CLI Usage (Future)
+
+Once integrated with the CLI, you'll be able to:
+
+```bash
+# Ingest markdown schema
+markitect schema-ingest manpage-schema-v1.0.md
+
+# Validate against markdown schema
+markitect validate document.md --schema manpage-schema-v1.0
+
+# Export schema
+markitect schema-get manpage-schema-v1.0 --output json
+```
+
+### Validator Integration
+
+The SchemaValidator will automatically detect `.md` schemas:
+
+```python

+## Version History
+
+### v1.0.0 (2026-01-04)
+- Initial version
+- Feature A
+- Feature B
+
+## Related Documentation
+
+- [Related Schema 1](../other-schema-v1.0.md)
+- [MarkiTect Documentation](../../README.md)
+```
+
+## Testing
+
+The loader has comprehensive test coverage:
+
+```bash
+# Run all loader tests
+pytest tests/test_schema_loader.py -v
+
+# Run specific test class
+pytest tests/test_schema_loader.py::TestMarkdownSchemaLoader -v
+
+# Check coverage
+pytest tests/test_schema_loader.py --cov=markitect.schema_loader
+```
+
+**Test Results**: 35/35 tests passing (100%)
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+### Regex Patterns
+
+The loader uses these regex patterns:
+
+```python
+# Frontmatter pattern
+r'^---\s*\n(.*?)\n---\s*\n'
+
+# JSON code block pattern
+r'```json\s*\n(.*?)\n```'
+
+# Schema Definition section pattern
+r'##\s+Schema Definition\s*\n'
+```
+
+### Metadata Merging
+
+The `_merge_metadata` method:
+
+1. Copies the original schema
+2. Adds `x-markitect-source` with file metadata
+3. Merges frontmatter fields:
+   - `schema-id` → `$id`
+   - `version` → `version`
+   - `status` → `x-markitect-metadata.status`
+
+### File Encoding
+
+All files are read/written as UTF-8. Invalid UTF-8 sequences raise `InvalidSchemaFormatError`.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Schema Not Found
+
+**Problem**: `SchemaNotFoundError: No JSON schema found`
+
+**Solutions**:
+- Ensure you have a ```json code block
+- Check the JSON syntax is valid
+- Verify the code block is properly closed with ```
+
+### Invalid YAML Frontmatter
+
+**Problem**: `InvalidSchemaFormatError: Invalid YAML frontmatter`
+
+**Solutions**:
+- Check YAML syntax (indentation, colons, quotes)
+- Ensure frontmatter is between `---` delimiters
+- Verify frontmatter is at the start of file
+
+### Binary File Error
+
+**Problem**: `InvalidSchemaFormatError: Failed to read schema file`
+
+**Solutions**:
+- Ensure file is text, not binary
+- Check file encoding is UTF-8
+- Verify file isn't corrupted

+# Schema Management Proposal
+
+**Status:** Draft
+**Created:** 2026-01-04
+**Author:** Analysis of current state and proposed improvements
+
+## Problem Statement
+
+### 1. Inconsistent Schema Naming
+
+**Current State:**
+```
+terminology-schema.json       ← Has ".json" suffix
+api-documentation             ← No suffix
+enhanced-manpage              ← No suffix
+markdown-manpage              ← No suffix, duplicate title
+markdown-manpage-schema.json  ← Has ".json" suffix, duplicate title
+```
+
+**Issues:**
+- No naming convention enforced
+- Duplicate schemas (3 manpage schemas!)
+- Mix of suffixed (.json) and non-suffixed names
+- No way to distinguish versions
+
+### 2. Missing Versioning
+
+**Current State:**
+- No version in filenames
+- No version in schema metadata (beyond optional `$id`)
+- No way to track schema evolution
+- Breaking changes not apparent
+
+**Issues:**
+- Can't have multiple versions simultaneously
+- No migration path when schemas change
+- Unclear which schema version a document uses
+
+### 3. Format Mismatch: JSON vs Markdown
+
+**The Philosophical Problem:**
+> MarkiTect is a markdown-centric tool, yet schemas are JSON files.
+> This creates a conceptual and practical mismatch.
+
+**Current State:**
+- Documents: Markdown (.md)
+- Schemas: JSON (.json)
+- No unified format for documentation + schema
+- Schemas lack rich documentation capabilities
+
+## Proposed Solutions
+
+### Part 1: Naming Convention & Versioning
+
+#### Option A: Filename-Based Versioning (Recommended)
+
+**Format:** `{domain}-{type}-schema-v{major}.{minor}.json`
+
+**Examples:**
+```
+manpage-schema-v1.0.json          # Manpage schema v1.0
+manpage-schema-v2.0.json          # Breaking change → v2.0
+terminology-schema-v1.0.json      # Terminology schema
+api-documentation-schema-v1.0.json
+arc42-schema-v1.0.json
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- Clear versioning in filename
+- Easy to see multiple versions
+- SemVer compatible (major.minor)
+- Searchable/sortable
+
+**Migration Strategy:**
+```bash
+# Rename existing schemas
+markdown-manpage → manpage-schema-v1.0.json
+enhanced-manpage → manpage-schema-v2.0.json  # (breaking changes)
+terminology-schema.json → terminology-schema-v1.0.json
+```
+
+#### Option B: $id-Based Versioning
+
+**Keep simple filenames, use `$id` for versioning:**
+
+```json
+{
+  "$id": "https://markitect.dev/schemas/manpage/v1",
+  "$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#",
+  "version": "1.0.0",
+  ...
+}
+```
+
+**Filenames:** `manpage-schema.json`, `terminology-schema.json`
+
+**Benefits:**
+- Clean filenames
+- Versioning in metadata
+- Follows JSON Schema best practices
+
+**Drawbacks:**
+- Can't have multiple versions in same database
+- Harder to see versions at a glance
+
+#### Recommendation: **Hybrid Approach**
+
+Combine both for maximum clarity:
+
+```json
+// File: manpage-schema-v1.json
+{
+  "$id": "https://markitect.dev/schemas/manpage/v1",
+  "$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#",
+  "version": "1.0.0",
+  "title": "Unix Manual Page Schema",
+  ...
+}
+```
+
+### Part 2: Schema Metadata Standard
+
+Add required metadata to all schemas:
+
+```json
+{
+  "$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#",
+  "$id": "https://markitect.dev/schemas/{domain}/v{major}",
+
+  // Required metadata
+  "version": "1.0.0",                    // SemVer
+  "title": "Human Readable Title",
+  "description": "Detailed description",
+
+  // Optional metadata
+  "x-markitect-schema-type": "document-schema",
+  "x-markitect-version": {
+    "major": 1,
+    "minor": 0,
+    "patch": 0
+  },
+  "x-markitect-author": "MarkiTect Project",
+  "x-markitect-created": "2026-01-04",
+  "x-markitect-updated": "2026-01-04",
+  "x-markitect-deprecated": false,
+  "x-markitect-superseded-by": null,
+  "x-markitect-document-types": ["manpage", "manual"],
+  "x-markitect-example": "examples/manpages/example.md",
+
+  // Schema content
+  "type": "object",
+  "properties": { ... }
+}
+```
+
+### Part 3: Format Mismatch Solutions
+
+#### Option 1: Markdown-First with Embedded JSON (Recommended)
+
+**File Format:** Markdown with frontmatter and JSON code block
+
+```markdown
+---
+schema-version: "1.0.0"
+schema-id: "https://markitect.dev/schemas/manpage/v1"
+document-type: manpage
+status: stable
+---
+
+# Manpage Schema v1.0
+
+## Overview
+
+This schema validates Unix/Linux manual page documentation following
+standard conventions (SYNOPSIS, DESCRIPTION, OPTIONS, etc.).
+
+## Document Types
+
+- Manual pages (man pages)
+- CLI command documentation
+- API reference pages
+
+## Usage
+
+\`\`\`bash
+markitect validate mycommand.1.md --schema manpage-schema-v1
+\`\`\`
+
+## Examples
+
+See [examples/manpages/](../../examples/manpages/) for complete examples.
+
+## Schema Definition
+
+\`\`\`json
+{
+  "$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#",
+  "$id": "https://markitect.dev/schemas/manpage/v1",
+  "version": "1.0.0",
+  "title": "Unix Manual Page Schema",
+  "type": "object",
+  "properties": {
+    "headings": {
+      "type": "object",
+      "properties": {
+        "level_1": { ... }
+      }
+    }
+  },
+  "x-markitect-sections": { ... }
+}
+\`\`\`
+
+## Validation Rules
+
+### Required Sections
+- **NAME** - Command name and brief description
+- **SYNOPSIS** - Command syntax
+- **DESCRIPTION** - Detailed description
+
+### Optional Sections
+- **OPTIONS** - Command-line options
+- **EXAMPLES** - Usage examples
+- **SEE ALSO** - Related commands
+
+## Version History
+
+### v1.0.0 (2026-01-04)
+- Initial release
+- Basic manpage structure validation
+```
+
+**Implementation:**
+```python
+class MarkdownSchemaLoader:
+    """Load schemas from markdown files with embedded JSON."""
+
+    def load_schema_from_markdown(self, md_path: Path) -> dict:
+        """Extract JSON schema from markdown file."""
+        content = md_path.read_text()
+
+        # Parse frontmatter
+        frontmatter = self._extract_frontmatter(content)
+
+        # Extract JSON from code block
+        schema_json = self._extract_json_from_code_block(content)
+
+        # Merge metadata
+        schema = json.loads(schema_json)
+        schema['x-markitect-metadata'] = frontmatter
+
+        return schema
+
+    def save_schema_to_markdown(self, schema: dict, md_path: Path):
+        """Save schema as markdown with embedded JSON."""
+        # Generate markdown documentation
+        doc = self._generate_schema_documentation(schema)
+
+        # Embed JSON schema
+        json_block = f"```json\n{json.dumps(schema, indent=2)}\n```"
+
+        # Combine
+        full_content = f"{doc}\n\n## Schema Definition\n\n{json_block}"
+        md_path.write_text(full_content)
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- ✅ Markdown-first (aligns with MarkiTect philosophy)
+- ✅ Rich documentation alongside schema
+- ✅ Human-readable and editable
+- ✅ Version history in same file
+- ✅ Examples and usage inline
+- ✅ Can extract JSON when needed
+
+**Drawbacks:**
+- ⚠️ Requires parsing logic
+- ⚠️ Two sources of truth (markdown + embedded JSON)
+- ⚠️ More complex than pure JSON
+
+#### Option 2: Markdown Documentation Generator
+
+**Keep JSON schemas, auto-generate markdown docs:**
+
+```
+schemas/
+  manpage-schema-v1.json          # Source of truth
+  manpage-schema-v1.md            # Auto-generated docs
+```
+
+**Command:**
+```bash
+markitect schema-document manpage-schema-v1.json
+# Generates: manpage-schema-v1.md
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- ✅ Simple implementation
+- ✅ JSON remains source of truth
+- ✅ Auto-generated docs always in sync
+
+**Drawbacks:**
+- ⚠️ Two files to manage
+- ⚠️ Can't hand-edit documentation (gets overwritten)
+
+#### Option 3: Markdown Schema Language (DSL)
+
+**Define schemas in markdown-native syntax:**
+
+```markdown
+# Manpage Schema v1.0
+
+## Document Structure
+
+### Required Sections (Level 1 Heading)
+
+**NAME**
+- Classification: required
+- Content: Command name in bold, followed by description
+- Pattern: `**command** - description`
+
+**SYNOPSIS**
+- Classification: required
+- Content: Command syntax with options
+- Min paragraphs: 1
+- Max paragraphs: 3
+
+### Optional Sections
+
+**OPTIONS**
+- Classification: recommended
+- Content: Definition list of command-line options
+```
+
+**Parser generates JSON schema from markdown:**
+
+```bash
+markitect schema-compile manpage-schema-v1.md --output manpage-schema-v1.json
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- ✅ Pure markdown
+- ✅ Human-friendly syntax
+- ✅ No JSON editing needed
+
+**Drawbacks:**
+- ⚠️ Complex parser implementation
+- ⚠️ Limited to MarkiTect-specific features
+- ⚠️ Can't use standard JSON Schema tools
+
+#### Option 4: Literate Schema Programming
+
+**Inspired by literate programming, mix documentation and schema:**
+
+```markdown
+# Manpage Schema v1.0
+
+Manual pages follow a standard structure. The NAME section is required:
+
+<<define-name-section>>=
+{
+  "NAME": {
+    "classification": "required",
+    "heading_level": 2,
+    "content_instruction": "Command name and brief description"
+  }
+}
+
+The SYNOPSIS section shows command syntax:
+
+<<define-synopsis-section>>=
+{
+  "SYNOPSIS": {
+    "classification": "required",
+    "heading_level": 2,
+    "min_code_blocks": 1
+  }
+}
+
+Complete schema:
+
+<<manpage-schema.json>>=
+{
+  "$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#",
+  "x-markitect-sections": {
+    <<define-name-section>>,
+    <<define-synopsis-section>>
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- ✅ Documentation and schema interleaved
+- ✅ Literate programming benefits
+- ✅ Reusable schema fragments
+
+**Drawbacks:**
+- ⚠️ Complex tangling/weaving
+- ⚠️ Unfamiliar paradigm
+- ⚠️ Overkill for simple schemas
+
+## Recommendations
+
+### Short-Term (Immediate)

+# Schema Management: Executive Summary
+
+**TL;DR:** Implement naming conventions, versioning, and markdown-first schema format to solve current schema management issues.
+
+## Problems Identified
+
+1. **Inconsistent Naming** - Mix of `schema.json` suffix and no suffix
+2. **No Versioning** - Can't track schema evolution or maintain multiple versions
+3. **Duplicate Schemas** - 3 manpage schemas with similar content
+4. **Format Mismatch** - JSON schemas in markdown-centric tool
+
+## Recommended Solution
+
+### 1. Naming Convention (Immediate)
+
+**Format:** `{domain}-schema-v{major}.{minor}.json` or `.md`
+
+**Examples:**
+```
+manpage-schema-v1.0.json
+terminology-schema-v1.0.json
+api-documentation-schema-v1.0.json
+```
+
+**Migration:**
+```
+markdown-manpage → manpage-schema-v1.0.json
+enhanced-manpage → manpage-schema-v2.0.json (breaking changes)
+terminology-schema.json → terminology-schema-v1.0.json
+```
+
+### 2. Markdown-First Format (Short-term)
+
+**Proposal:** Store schemas as markdown files with embedded JSON
+
+**Benefits:**
+- Aligns with markdown philosophy ✅
+- Rich documentation alongside schema ✅
+- Version history in same file ✅
+- Examples and usage inline ✅
+- Lower barrier to entry ✅
+
+**Example:** See `examples/schemas/manpage-schema-v1.md`
+
+**Format:**
+```markdown
+# Schema Title v1.0
+
+## Documentation sections...
+
+## Schema Definition
+
+\`\`\`json
+{ schema here }
+\`\`\`
+```
+
+### 3. Schema Metadata Standard (Immediate)
+
+**Required fields:**
+```json
+{
+  "$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#",
+  "$id": "https://markitect.dev/schemas/{domain}/v{major}",
+  "version": "1.0.0",
+  "title": "Human Readable Title",
+  "description": "Detailed description",
+  "x-markitect-metadata": {
+    "domain": "manpage",
+    "document-types": ["manual-page"],
+    "created": "2026-01-04",
+    "example": "examples/manpages/example.md"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Implementation Phases
+
+### Phase 1: Foundation (1-2 days)
+- [x] Analyze current state

+
+## Cost-Benefit Analysis
+
+**Cost:** 6-10 days total effort
+
+**Benefits:**
+- Professional schema management ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
+- Better discoverability ⭐⭐⭐⭐
+- Easier maintenance ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
+- Markdown alignment ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
+- Version tracking ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
+
+**ROI:** High - Foundational improvement that benefits all future schema work
+
+## Alternative Considered
+
+**Alternative:** Keep JSON, generate markdown docs automatically
+
+**Pros:**
+- Simpler implementation (2-3 days)
+- JSON remains source of truth
+- Standard tooling works
+
+**Cons:**
+- Doesn't solve format mismatch
+- Documentation generated, not authored
+- Two files to manage
+
+**Verdict:** Markdown-first better aligns with project philosophy
+
+## Quick Wins (Today)
+
+1. **Rename schemas** with versioned names (30 minutes)
+2. **Add metadata** to existing schemas (1 hour)
+3. **Update catalog** with proper versioning (30 minutes)
+
+## Questions to Resolve
+
+1. **File extension:** `.md` or `.schema.md` for markdown schemas?
+2. **JSON extraction:** Real-time or pre-compiled cache?
+3. **Backward compatibility:** Support both formats during transition?
+4. **CLI changes:** `--schema file.md` or auto-detect format?
+

+1. **Review** this proposal and example (examples/schemas/manpage-schema-v1.md)
+2. **Decide** on markdown-first vs generated docs approach
+3. **Prototype** parser for markdown schemas
+4. **Migrate** one schema as proof-of-concept
+5. **Iterate** based on feedback
+6. **Full rollout** to all schemas

+# Schema Naming Convention Specification
+
+**Version:** 1.0
+**Status:** Implemented
+**Created:** 2026-01-04
+
+## Overview
+
+This specification defines the filename convention for all MarkiTect schema files to ensure consistency, discoverability, and version tracking across the schema ecosystem.
+
+## Filename Format
+
+### Standard Format
+
+```
+{domain}-schema-v{major}.{minor}.md
+```
+
+### Components
+
+| Component | Description | Rules | Examples |
+|-----------|-------------|-------|----------|
+| **domain** | Schema domain identifier | - Lowercase only<br>- Start with letter<br>- Letters, numbers, hyphens<br>- No consecutive hyphens<br>- No leading/trailing hyphens | `manpage`<br>`api-documentation`<br>`arc42` |
+| **schema** | Literal keyword | - Must be exactly `schema` | `schema` |
+| **version** | SemVer major.minor | - Format: `v{major}.{minor}`<br>- Non-negative integers<br>- Must include both major and minor | `v1.0`<br>`v2.5`<br>`v10.25` |
+| **extension** | File extension | - Must be `.md` (markdown) | `.md` |
+
+### Regular Expression
+
+```regex
+^[a-z][a-z0-9-]*-schema-v\d+\.\d+\.md$
+```
+
+**Breakdown:**
+- `^[a-z]` - Start with lowercase letter
+- `[a-z0-9-]*` - Followed by lowercase letters, numbers, or hyphens
+- `-schema-` - Literal string
+- `v\d+\.\d+` - Version (v + digits + dot + digits)
+- `\.md$` - Extension
+
+## Valid Examples
+
+### Simple Domains
+
+```
+manpage-schema-v1.0.md
+terminology-schema-v1.0.md
+glossary-schema-v1.0.md
+```
+
+### Multi-Word Domains
+
+```
+api-documentation-schema-v1.0.md
+architecture-decision-record-schema-v1.0.md
+software-requirements-specification-schema-v1.0.md
+```
+
+### With Numbers
+
+```
+arc42-schema-v1.0.md
+rfc2119-keywords-schema-v1.0.md
+iso27001-schema-v1.0.md
+```
+
+### Version Variations
+
+```
+manpage-schema-v1.0.md     # Initial version
+manpage-schema-v1.1.md     # Minor update
+manpage-schema-v2.0.md     # Breaking change
+manpage-schema-v10.25.md   # Double-digit versions
+```
+
+## Invalid Examples
+
+### Wrong Extension
+
+```
+❌ manpage-schema-v1.0.json    # Must be .md
+❌ manpage-schema-v1.0.yaml    # Must be .md
+❌ manpage-schema-v1.0          # Missing extension
+```
+
+### Missing Components
+
+```
+❌ manpage-v1.0.md              # Missing "schema" keyword
+❌ manpage-schema.md            # Missing version
+❌ manpage.md                   # Missing "schema" and version
+```
+
+### Version Format Errors
+
+```
+❌ manpage-schema-1.0.md        # Missing 'v' prefix
+❌ manpage-schema-v1.md         # Missing minor version
+❌ manpage-schema-v1.0.0.md     # Too many version parts (patch not used)
+❌ manpage-schema-v1-0.md       # Hyphen instead of dot
+```
+
+### Case Errors
+
+```
+❌ ManPage-schema-v1.0.md       # Uppercase in domain
+❌ manpage-Schema-v1.0.md       # Uppercase in keyword
+❌ MANPAGE-SCHEMA-V1.0.MD       # All uppercase
+```
+
+### Domain Format Errors
+
+```
+❌ 42answers-schema-v1.0.md     # Starts with number
+❌ -manpage-schema-v1.0.md      # Starts with hyphen
+❌ man_page-schema-v1.0.md      # Underscore (use hyphen)
+❌ man page-schema-v1.0.md      # Space (use hyphen)
+❌ my--schema-v1.0.md           # Consecutive hyphens
+```
+
+## Version Numbering Guidelines
+
+### Semantic Versioning
+
+We use simplified SemVer with major.minor only:
+
+**Major Version (X.0):**
+- Breaking changes to schema structure
+- Incompatible with previous version
+- Documents validated against v1.0 may fail v2.0
+
+**Examples:**
+- `manpage-schema-v1.0.md` → `manpage-schema-v2.0.md` (breaking change)
+- `api-schema-v1.0.md` → `api-schema-v2.0.md` (new required sections)
+
+**Minor Version (X.Y):**
+- Backward-compatible additions
+- New optional sections or fields
+- Relaxed constraints
+- Documents validated against v1.0 still validate against v1.1
+
+**Examples:**
+- `manpage-schema-v1.0.md` → `manpage-schema-v1.1.md` (new optional section)
+- `api-schema-v2.0.md` → `api-schema-v2.1.md` (additional metadata)
+
+### Version Incrementing
+
+```
+v1.0 → v1.1 → v1.2 → ... → v1.9 → v1.10 → v1.11
+                                   ↓
+                                  v2.0 (breaking change)
+```
+
+### Initial Version
+
+All new schemas start at `v1.0.md`:
+
+```bash
+# New schema
+my-new-type-schema-v1.0.md
+```
+
+## Domain Naming Guidelines
+
+### Good Domain Names
+
+**Descriptive and Specific:**
+```
+✓ manpage-schema-v1.0.md              # Clear: Unix manual pages
+✓ api-documentation-schema-v1.0.md    # Clear: API docs
+✓ architecture-decision-record-schema-v1.0.md  # Full ADR name
+```
+
+**Concise but Meaningful:**
+```
+✓ adr-schema-v1.0.md                  # Common abbreviation
+✓ rfc-schema-v1.0.md                  # Well-known acronym
+✓ arc42-schema-v1.0.md                # Standard name
+```
+
+### Poor Domain Names
+
+**Too Generic:**
+```
+❌ document-schema-v1.0.md            # Too vague
+❌ markdown-schema-v1.0.md            # All schemas are markdown
+❌ schema-schema-v1.0.md              # Redundant (use "metaschema")
+```
+
+**Too Verbose:**
+```
+❌ my-custom-documentation-template-for-apis-v1.0.md  # Too long
+   → api-documentation-schema-v1.0.md                 # Better
+```
+
+**Unclear Abbreviations:**
+```
+❌ mt-schema-v1.0.md                  # What is "mt"?
+❌ doc-schema-v1.0.md                 # Too generic
+```
+
+## Normalization Rules
+
+When converting arbitrary strings to valid domain names:
+
+1. **Convert to lowercase**
+   - `API Documentation` → `api documentation`
+
+2. **Replace separators with hyphens**
+   - Spaces: `api documentation` → `api-documentation`
+   - Underscores: `my_type` → `my-type`
+   - Multiple separators: `my  type` → `my--type`
+
+3. **Remove consecutive hyphens**
+   - `my--type` → `my-type`
+
+4. **Remove leading/trailing hyphens**
+   - `-my-type-` → `my-type`
+
+5. **Validate result**
+   - Must start with letter
+   - Only lowercase letters, numbers, hyphens
+
+### Example Normalizations
+
+```python
+"API Documentation"       → "api-documentation-schema-v1.0.md"
+"My_Custom_Type"          → "my-custom-type-schema-v1.0.md"
+"arc42  Architecture"     → "arc42-architecture-schema-v1.0.md"
+"--leading-hyphen"        → "leading-hyphen-schema-v1.0.md"
+```
+
+## Implementation
+
+### Validation Function
+
+The naming convention is enforced by `markitect.schema_naming.validate_schema_filename()`:
+
+```python
+from markitect.schema_naming import validate_schema_filename
+
+is_valid, metadata = validate_schema_filename("manpage-schema-v1.0.md")
+
+if is_valid:
+    print(f"Domain: {metadata['domain']}")
+    print(f"Version: {metadata['version']}")
+    print(f"Major: {metadata['major']}, Minor: {metadata['minor']}")
+```
+
+### Suggestion Function
+
+Generate valid filenames from arbitrary input:
+
+```python
+from markitect.schema_naming import suggest_schema_filename
+
+# From clean input
+filename = suggest_schema_filename("manpage", "1.0")
+# → "manpage-schema-v1.0.md"
+
+# From messy input (with normalization)
+filename = suggest_schema_filename("API Documentation", "2.1")
+# → "api-documentation-schema-v1.0.md"
+```
+
+### CLI Integration
+
+The `schema-ingest` command validates filenames:
+
+```bash
+# Valid filename - accepted
+$ markitect schema-ingest manpage-schema-v1.0.md
+✅ Schema stored successfully
+
+# Invalid filename - rejected (unless --force)
+$ markitect schema-ingest manpage.json
+❌ Invalid schema filename: manpage.json
+
+Expected format: {domain}-schema-v{major}.{minor}.md
+Example: manpage-schema-v1.0.md
+
+Suggested filename: manpage-schema-v1.0.md
+
+Use --force to skip validation
+```
+
+## Migration from Legacy Naming
+
+### Current State Analysis
+
+Existing schemas with inconsistent naming:
+
+```
+terminology-schema.json       # Has .json extension
+api-documentation             # No version, no extension
+enhanced-manpage              # No version, no extension, unclear name
+markdown-manpage              # No version, no extension
+markdown-manpage-schema.json  # Has .json extension
+```
+
+### Migration Strategy
+
+1. **Identify domain and version**
+2. **Apply naming convention**
+3. **Update database registration**
+4. **Remove legacy entries**
+
+### Migration Mapping
+
+```
+Old Name                      → New Name
+────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
+terminology-schema.json       → terminology-schema-v1.0.md
+api-documentation             → api-documentation-schema-v1.0.md
+enhanced-manpage              → manpage-schema-v2.0.md
+markdown-manpage              → (DELETE - duplicate)
+markdown-manpage-schema.json  → (DELETE - duplicate)
+```
+
+**Rationale:**
+- `enhanced-manpage` → v2.0 (has breaking changes: classification system)
+- `markdown-manpage` variants → DELETE (superseded by v1.0 and v2.0)
+
+## Special Cases
+
+### Metaschema
+
+The schema-for-schemas follows the same convention:
+
+```
+schema-schema-v1.0.md
+```
+
+Domain is `schema`, indicating it validates schemas themselves.
+
+### Multiple Schemas for Same Domain
+
+Use version numbers to distinguish:
+
+```
+manpage-schema-v1.0.md    # Original
+manpage-schema-v2.0.md    # Enhanced with classifications
+```
+
+Or use more specific domain names:
+
+```
+manpage-simple-schema-v1.0.md      # Simplified variant
+manpage-extended-schema-v1.0.md    # Extended variant
+```
+
+## Validation Testing
+
+All schemas should pass the naming convention validation:
+
+```bash
+# Test a filename
+python -c "
+from markitect.schema_naming import is_valid_schema_filename
+print(is_valid_schema_filename('manpage-schema-v1.0.md'))
+"
+# → True
+
+# Get detailed errors
+python -c "
+from markitect.schema_naming import get_validation_errors
+errors = get_validation_errors('invalid.json')
+for error in errors:
+    print(error)
+"
+```
+
+## Benefits
+
+### Consistency
+- All schemas follow same pattern
+- Easy to recognize schema files
+- Predictable naming
+
+### Versioning
+- Clear version tracking
+- Multiple versions can coexist
+- Breaking changes explicit (major version bump)
+
+### Discoverability
+- Glob patterns work: `*-schema-v*.md`
+- Easy to list all schemas: `ls *-schema-*.md`
+- Domain easily extractable
+
+### Tooling
+- Programmatic validation
+- Automatic suggestion
+- Migration support

+
+## Phase Breakdown
+
+### Phase 0: Planning & Setup ✅ (0.5 days)
+
+**Goal:** Establish project structure and specifications
+
+**Tasks:**
+- [x] Create roadmap/schema-of-schemas directory
+- [x] Move planning documents to roadmap
+- [ ] Write naming convention specification
+- [ ] Document schema metadata standard
+- [ ] Create implementation checklist
+
+**Deliverables:**
+- [x] Directory structure

+- [ ] This workplan
+
+**Duration:** 0.5 days
+**Status:** In Progress
+
+---
+
+### Phase 1: Filename Convention & Validation (1 day)
+
+**Goal:** Establish and enforce filename conventions
+
+**1.1 Define Naming Convention**
+
+**Specification:**
+```
+Format: {domain}-schema-v{major}.{minor}.md
+
+Components:
+- domain: lowercase, hyphen-separated (e.g., "manpage", "api-documentation")
+- schema: literal string "schema"
+- version: SemVer major.minor (e.g., "v1.0", "v2.1")
+- extension: ".md" (markdown)
+
+Examples:
+✓ manpage-schema-v1.0.md
+✓ terminology-schema-v1.0.md
+✓ api-documentation-schema-v1.0.md
+✗ manpage.json (missing version)
+✗ manpage-v1.md (missing "schema")
+✗ ManPage-Schema-v1.0.md (wrong case)
+```
+
+**1.2 Implement Validation Function**
+
+**File:** `markitect/schema_naming.py` (NEW)
+
+```python
+import re
+from pathlib import Path
+from typing import Tuple, Optional
+
+SCHEMA_FILENAME_PATTERN = re.compile(
+    r'^(?P<domain>[a-z][a-z0-9-]*)-schema-v(?P<major>\d+)\.(?P<minor>\d+)\.md$'
+)
+
+def validate_schema_filename(filename: str) -> Tuple[bool, Optional[dict]]:
+    """
+    Validate schema filename against convention.
+
+    Returns:
+        (is_valid, metadata_dict)
+    """
+    match = SCHEMA_FILENAME_PATTERN.match(filename)
+    if not match:
+        return False, None
+
+    return True, {
+        'domain': match.group('domain'),
+        'version': f"{match.group('major')}.{match.group('minor')}",
+        'major': int(match.group('major')),
+        'minor': int(match.group('minor'))
+    }
+
+def suggest_schema_filename(domain: str, version: str) -> str:
+    """Generate correct schema filename from domain and version."""
+    # Normalize domain: lowercase, replace spaces with hyphens
+    domain_clean = domain.lower().replace(' ', '-').replace('_', '-')
+    return f"{domain_clean}-schema-v{version}.md"
+```
+
+**1.3 Add CLI Validation**
+
+**Update:** `markitect/cli.py` - schema-ingest command
+
+```python
+@cli.command('schema-ingest')
+@click.argument('schema_file', type=click.Path(exists=True, path_type=Path))
+@click.option('--force', is_flag=True, help='Skip filename validation')
+def schema_ingest(config, schema_file, force):
+    """Ingest schema file with filename validation."""
+    from .schema_naming import validate_schema_filename, suggest_schema_filename
+
+    filename = schema_file.name
+    is_valid, metadata = validate_schema_filename(filename)
+
+    if not is_valid and not force:
+        click.echo(f"❌ Invalid schema filename: {filename}", err=True)
+        click.echo("\nExpected format: {domain}-schema-v{major}.{minor}.md")
+        click.echo("Example: manpage-schema-v1.0.md")
+
+        # Try to suggest correct name
+        # ... extract domain/version from file content ...
+        suggestion = suggest_schema_filename(domain, version)
+        click.echo(f"\nSuggested filename: {suggestion}")
+        click.echo("\nUse --force to skip validation")
+        sys.exit(1)
+
+    # Continue with ingestion...
+```
+
+**Tasks:**
+- [ ] Write `markitect/schema_naming.py`
+- [ ] Add unit tests for filename validation
+- [ ] Update `schema-ingest` command with validation
+- [ ] Test with valid and invalid filenames
+
+**Deliverables:**
+- [ ] schema_naming.py with validation logic
+- [ ] Unit tests (tests/test_schema_naming.py)
+- [ ] Updated CLI with validation
+- [ ] SCHEMA_NAMING_SPEC.md documentation
+
+**Duration:** 1 day
+
+---
+
+### Phase 2: Markdown Schema Loader (2-3 days)
+
+**Goal:** Parse markdown files to extract JSON schemas
+
+**2.1 Design Markdown Schema Format**
+
+**Format Specification:**
+
+```markdown
+---
+schema-id: "https://markitect.dev/schemas/{domain}/v{major}"
+version: "{major}.{minor}.{patch}"
+status: "stable|draft|deprecated"
+---
+
+# {Title} v{version}
+
+## Overview
+[Human-readable description]
+
+## Usage
+[Examples of how to use this schema]
+
+## Schema Definition
+
+```json
+{
+  "$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#",
+  "$id": "https://markitect.dev/schemas/{domain}/v{major}",
+  "version": "{major}.{minor}.{patch}",

+
+**Goal:** Create metaschema to validate all schema files
+
+**3.1 Design Schema-for-Schemas**
+
+**File:** `markitect/schemas/schema-schema-v1.md`
+
+**Purpose:** Validates that schema files follow MarkiTect conventions
+
+**Validates:**
+- Required fields ($schema, $id, version, title, description)
+- Version format (SemVer)
+- $id URL format

+
+### Phase 4: Schema Migration (1-2 days)
+
+**Goal:** Convert existing schemas to new format
+
+**4.1 Inventory Current Schemas**
+
+Current schemas in database:
+```
+1. terminology-schema.json       → terminology-schema-v1.0.md
+2. api-documentation             → api-documentation-schema-v1.0.md
+3. enhanced-manpage              → manpage-schema-v2.0.md
+4. markdown-manpage              → manpage-schema-v1.0.md (DUPLICATE)
+5. markdown-manpage-schema.json  → manpage-schema-v1.0.md (DUPLICATE)
+```
+
+**Decision matrix:**
+- Keep enhanced-manpage as v2.0 (has classifications)
+- Merge markdown-manpage variants into v1.0
+- Update terminology to v1.0
+- Update api-documentation to v1.0
+
+**4.2 Create Migration Script**

+    ]
+
+    db = DatabaseManager('markitect.db')
+
+    for old, new, version, domain in migrations:
+        migrate_schema(db, old, new, version, domain)
+```
+
+**4.3 Execute Migration**
+
+```bash
+# Run migration script
+python scripts/migrate_schemas.py
+
+# Validate all new schemas
+for schema in markitect/schemas/*-schema-v*.md; do
+    markitect schema-validate "$schema"
+done
+
+# Ingest new schemas
+for schema in markitect/schemas/*-schema-v*.md; do
+    markitect schema-ingest "$schema"
+done
+```
+
+**4.4 Clean Up Registry**
+
+```bash
+# Remove old schemas from database
+markitect schema-delete markdown-manpage
+markitect schema-delete markdown-manpage-schema.json
+markitect schema-delete api-documentation
+markitect schema-delete enhanced-manpage
+markitect schema-delete terminology-schema.json

+## Timeline
+
+```
+Week 1:
+  Day 1: Phase 0 (Planning) + Phase 1 (Naming Convention)
+  Day 2-3: Phase 2 (Markdown Loader)
+  Day 4-5: Phase 3 (Schema-for-Schemas)
+
+Week 2:
+  Day 6-7: Phase 4 (Migration)
+  Day 8: Phase 5 (CLI & Docs)
+  Day 9: Phase 6 (Testing)
+  Day 10: Buffer for issues/refinement
+```
+
+**Total:** 8-10 days
+
+## Risks & Mitigation
+
+### Risk 1: Parsing Complexity
+**Risk:** Markdown parsing more complex than expected
+**Probability:** Medium
+**Impact:** High
+**Mitigation:**
+- Start with simple regex-based parser
+- Test extensively with edge cases
+- Have fallback to simpler format
+
+### Risk 2: Backward Compatibility
+**Risk:** Breaking existing workflows
+**Probability:** Low
+**Impact:** High
+**Mitigation:**
+- Support both .json and .md during transition
+- Provide migration script
+- Test thoroughly with existing documents
+
+### Risk 3: Schema-for-Schemas Complexity
+**Risk:** Self-referential validation complex
+**Probability:** Medium
+**Impact:** Medium
+**Mitigation:**
+- Start with simple metaschema
+- Iterate based on actual schemas
+- Don't over-engineer initially
+
+## Success Metrics
+
+- [ ] All schemas follow naming convention (5/5)
+- [ ] All schemas in markdown format (5/5)
+- [ ] All schemas validate against metaschema (5/5)
+- [ ] Zero duplicate schemas in registry
+- [ ] CLI commands work with .md schemas
+- [ ] Documentation comprehensive
+- [ ] Test coverage >80%
+- [ ] No regression in existing functionality
