Technical documentation for the Context Fabric Standard and its components. From conceptual overview to implementation details.
The open standard for context infrastructure. 8 primitives that define how context is structured, stored, and exchanged.
The bitemporal truth store that powers CFS implementations. Graph-native, append-only, verifiable.
The specification for personal context - a portable life ontology owned by individuals. Local-first, encrypted, AI-native.
Start with the CFS overview. Understand the 8 primitives, the philosophy, and how planes relate to each other.
Read CFS OverviewRead the formal spec and primitives. Then dive into the Substrate docs for storage architecture.
Start with PrimitivesStart with the PCF specification. Local-first architecture, life ontology schema, privacy considerations.
Read PCF Docs01 The standard prioritizes correctness over ease. Bitemporal semantics, append-only history, verifiable claims. Hard to implement, impossible to corrupt.
02 No lock-in by design. Stable identifiers, deterministic content addressing, canonical export/import. Your context is yours.
03 Zero-trust architecture. Every read/write is authenticated, authorized, and logged. Encryption at rest. Capability-based access for agents.
04 Built for AI from the start. Citations, minimal disclosure, safe writes with propose-review-apply. Not an afterthought integration.
