# MDA Technical Specification

The Markdown for Agent (MDA) format extends standard Markdown with optional structured metadata[^fm] and embedded AI instruction blocks[^ai]. It also supports defining explicit relationships between documents using footnotes[^kg] to enable knowledge graph construction.

## Core Components Covered

1. **Front Matter**: Provides document-level metadata such as `doc-id`, `title`, and `tags`[^fm].
2. **`ai-script` Blocks**: Allows embedding JSON-based AI instructions within the content[^ai].
3. **Footnote Relationships**: Defines machine-readable links to other documents[^kg].
