Calling "markitect metadata" provides metadata, frontmatter and content. So it should not be called "metadata" but "fulldata", "alldata", or maybe best "db-data". After renaming the command consistently in the codebase. There should be separate retrieval commands for various aspects of markdown files.

Note: this renaming to db-data has been implemented some time ago already.

As background information please update the wiki and find the MarkdownMatters.md specification. It defines frontmatter, contentmatter and tailmatter in some detail.

First let's create a family of commands to engage with the content:

markitect content-stats should provide statistics about the content
markitect content-get [path] # echo content without frontmater and tailmatter

Then let's create commands for frontmatter

markitect frontmatter-stats
markitect frontmatter-keys
markitect frontmatter-get [key]
markitect frontmatter-set key=val

Then let's create commands for contentmatter
Then for tailmatter

This is a lot of work so before we start make a GAMEPLAN file and do this tddai style.
