# Markitect Tool PRD And FRS

## Problem

Markdown pipelines often check document shape without knowing whether the
sections contain the content needed by authors, reviewers, and generation
agents.

## Goals

The product should make document contracts testable. Success metrics include
clear diagnostics, stable CLI behavior, and examples that show how contracts
apply to real document types.

## Functional Requirements

- Load Markdown contract files with fenced YAML contract blocks.
- Check required fields and section presence.
- Report metric bands and deterministic assertions.
- Produce machine-readable and human-readable diagnostics.

## Non-Goals

The first release does not execute provider-specific LLM calls or provide a UI
form renderer.
