summary: Intelligent markdown engine and information-management platform treating documents as structured,
  queryable information spaces with schema validation, transclusion, and LLM-driven evaluation; the legacy

# MarkiTect Legacy Platform

## Overview

`markitect-main` is the legacy MarkiTect umbrella platform — an intelligent markdown engine and information-management system. It is actively being split into successor repos (`markitect-tool` for syntax-layer tooling, `infospace-bench` for the application layer, `kontextual-engine` for the knowledge-operations runtime); this entry is registered mainly so planners can see it is superseded rather than accidentally building against it.

## Assessment notes

### Discovery

INTRODUCTION.md and SCOPE.md describe a mature, broad platform (schema validation, transclusion, LLM evaluation, infospace lifecycle); GUARDRAILS.md and DEPENDENCIES.md indicate an actively-managed but legacy codebase now being superseded by successor repos (markitect-tool, infospace-bench, kontextual-engine each reference a markitect-main-scope-assessment.md boundary doc).

### Availability

Extensive real application code (application/, domain/, services/ dirs) with both a Python package and a package.json; availability target is intentionally capped at A1 since the successor repos are the forward path, not this legacy platform.

### Completeness

First-pass honest assessment from the REUSE-WP-0017 coverage campaign
(reuse-surface). No external consumer feedback exists yet; levels reflect
scope-vs-intent documentation quality, not internal code quality.

### Reliability

No production consumer telemetry exists yet; reliability level is
intentionally conservative pending REUSE-WP-0019 reuse-telemetry evidence.

## Promotion checklist

- [x] ID follows `capability.<domain>.<name>` pattern
- [x] Maturity enums match `specs/CapabilityMaturityStandard.md`
- [x] `external_evidence` is populated separately from `maturity`
- [x] Relations reference valid capability IDs (three successors)
- [x] Index entry added in `registry/indexes/capabilities.yaml`
