# Markitect Tool Functional Requirements Specification V0.1
## markitect-tool
---
## 1. System Overview
markitect-tool is a **markdown-native toolkit and CLI** that enables users and systems to **parse, validate, transform, query, and generate markdown-based knowledge artifacts**.
This FRS defines the **externally observable functional behavior** of the system.
---
## 2. Actors and Interfaces
### 2.1 Primary Actors
* **User (Human Operator)** via CLI (`mkt`)
* **Automation System (`atm`)** via CLI or API
* **LLM Agent (`agt`)** via API or CLI orchestration
* **External Systems** integrating via programmatic interface
---
### 2.2 System Interfaces
* CLI interface (`mkt <command>`)
* Programmatic API (library usage)
* File system (markdown documents and configuration files)
---
## 3. Functional Requirements
---
## 3.1 Markdown Parsing and Structuring
### FR-001: Parse Markdown into Structured Representation
**Description:**
The system must parse markdown documents into a structured, machine-interpretable representation.
**Input:**
* Markdown file(s)
**Output:**
* Structured representation (accessible via CLI/API)
---
### FR-002: Preserve Structural Elements
The system must preserve:
* Sections and headings
* Metadata (e.g. frontmatter)
* Content blocks
in the structured representation.
---
## 3.2 Schema Definition and Validation
### FR-010: Define Schema from Input
The system must allow users to define or derive schemas from markdown documents.
---
### FR-011: Validate Documents Against Schema
**Input:**
* Markdown document(s)
* Schema definition
**Output:**
* Validation result indicating compliance or violations
---
### FR-012: Report Validation Results
The system must provide:
* Clear identification of violations
* Location/context of errors
---
## 3.3 Transformation and Composition
### FR-020: Transform Markdown Documents
The system must allow transformation of markdown documents based on defined rules or operations.
---
### FR-021: Compose Documents from Multiple Sources
The system must support combining multiple markdown inputs into a single output document.
---
### FR-022: Support Content Inclusion (Transclusion)
The system must allow content from one document to be included in another.
---
## 3.4 Query and Extraction
### FR-030: Query Structured Content
The system must allow querying of structured representations of markdown documents.
---
### FR-031: Extract Content Based on Criteria
**Input:**
* Query parameters
**Output:**
* Matching content or elements
---
## 3.5 Templating and Generation
### FR-040: Generate Markdown from Templates
The system must generate markdown documents based on:
* Input content
* Templates and/or rules
---
### FR-041: Support Rule-Based Generation
The system must allow generation driven by defined rules expressed in markdown or configuration.
---
### FR-042: Support LLM-Assisted Generation
The system must support generation workflows that incorporate LLM-based processing.
(Note: LLM usage is optional and externally provided.)
---
## 3.6 Automation and Workflow Execution
### FR-050: Execute Operations via CLI
The system must expose all core functions via CLI commands.
---
### FR-051: Support Batch Processing
The system must allow operations to be applied to multiple documents in a single execution.
---
### FR-052: Support Repeatable Workflows
The system must allow the same operation to be executed repeatedly with consistent results for identical inputs.
---
## 3.7 Configuration Handling
### FR-060: Load Configuration
The system must load configuration from:
* Files (e.g. project-level configuration)
* Environment
---
### FR-061: Apply Configuration to Operations
The system must apply configuration consistently across operations.
---
## 3.8 Caching and Incremental Processing
### FR-070: Cache Processing Results
The system must store intermediate or final results to avoid redundant computation.
---
### FR-071: Detect Changes
The system must detect changes in input data and reprocess only affected parts.
---
## 3.9 Error Handling
### FR-080: Provide Structured Errors
The system must return structured error information for:
* Invalid input
* Schema violations
* Execution failures
---
### FR-081: Avoid Silent Failures
The system must not silently ignore errors that affect output correctness.
---
## 4. Functional Constraints
* All functions must operate on **markdown-based input/output**
* LLM-assisted functions must degrade gracefully when unavailable
* Operations must not require persistent system infrastructure
---
## 5. Traceability
| PRD Concept | FRS Coverage |
| -------------------------------- | ------------- |
| Structured markdown manipulation | FR-001FR-022 |
| Schema validation | FR-010FR-012 |
| Querying and extraction | FR-030FR-031 |
| Templating and generation | FR-040FR-042 |
| CLI and automation | FR-050FR-052 |
| Configuration | FR-060FR-061 |
| Efficiency via caching | FR-070FR-071 |
---
## 6. Acceptance Perspective
The system satisfies this FRS when:
* Each function can be invoked via CLI or API
* Outputs match defined inputoutput expectations
* Validation, transformation, and generation behaviors are observable and verifiable
* Errors are explicit and traceable
