AKF (Agent Knowledge Format)
EXIF for AI — stamp any file with a tiny trust receipt
Every photo has EXIF — camera, lens, when it was taken. AI-generated files have… nothing. So I built AKF: a tiny CLI that stamps any file with a trust receipt — who made it, how confident, what it’s based on.
akf stamp report.md --agent claude-code --evidence "tests pass"
That’s it. The metadata embeds invisibly in markdown (YAML frontmatter), DOCX, PDF, images, JSON — whatever you’ve got. akf read file.md to inspect, akf trust file.md to get a score.
I built it because I kept getting AI-generated docs from agents and had no idea which ones to trust. Now I do. It’s the boring infrastructure that photography solved in 1995 — but for the era where half your files are written by a robot.
Stamp your files with a tiny AI trust receipt that travels with them like a digital passport, making provenance, compliance, and trust as easy as pie—think EXIF but for AI-generated content across docs, images, code, and more!
Key features:
- 🔥 Embeds AI trust metadata natively in 20+ file formats
- ⚡ Generates lightweight ~15 token JSON trust receipts
- 🎯 Enables compliance auditing for regulations like the EU AI Act
- 🛡️ Tracks source provenance and trust scores without needing a certificate authority
