AKF — The AI Native File Format

Every photo has EXIF. Every song has ID3. AKF is the native metadata format for AI-generated content.

When to Use

Use this skill when you need to stamp, inspect, or audit provenance and trust metadata on AI-generated or AI-modified files for compliance, review, or handoff workflows.

After creating or modifying files

akf stamp <file> --agent <agent-name> --evidence "<what you did>"

Evidence examples:

• "generated from user prompt"
• "refactored existing code"
• "tests pass"
• "docs reviewed"

Before modifying existing files

akf read <file>          # Check existing trust metadata
akf inspect <file>       # See detailed trust scores

Compliance auditing

akf audit <file> --regulation eu_ai_act    # EU AI Act Article 50
akf audit <file> --regulation hipaa         # HIPAA
akf audit <file> --regulation sox           # SOX
akf audit <file> --regulation nist_ai       # NIST AI RMF
