The reference for the IANA-registered .faf format (application/vnd.faf+yaml): the 33 slots every .faf is scored on, scoring, MCP setup, `faf sync` to CLAUDE.md, `faf export` to AGENTS.md and other files, and project memory (.fafm) for the BEST rung. Use for questions about how FAF works: "how is my score calculated?", "what does slotignored mean?", "set up the FAF MCP server", "how does faf sync work with CLAUDE.md?". New to FAF? Start with faf-context.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

<!-- faf:start -->
```yaml
v: 1
needs: []
reads: ["the project's project.faf, when the question is about it"]
writes: []
network: []
publishes: false
done_when: "the question is answered, with the command, slot or file it concerns"
project: project.faf
```
<!-- faf:end -->

# FAF Expert — Master the Format

**`.faf` is an IANA-registered context format (`application/vnd.faf+yaml`)** — a typed, portable file *you own*, readable by any AI, with no bespoke manifest and no vendor lock-in. This is the mechanic's manual: scoring internals, MCP configuration, bi-directional sync, and the full slot model.

## Steps

1. If the project has a project.faf, read it first: most questions are about that file.
2. Find the answer in the sections below (the format, the CLI, the MCP tools, scoring).
3. Answer with the exact command, slot or file, and say which section it came from.

## The FAF skill family — where this fits

| Skill | What it's for | |
|-------|---------------|---|
| **faf-wizard** | Done-for-you — one-click `.faf` for any project | DFY |
| **faf-context** | The builder's quickstart — hand the AI what it needs to hit **100% ✪**, fast | **← start here if you're new** |
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add wolfe-jam/faf-skills/faf-expert@sha256:e2a901949c7a7001

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261025.680ca44, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
