By
craigsmitham
Summary
QUALITY.md is an open file format specification for declaring a project's quality model. It provides a structured way to define quality characteristics (security, maintainability, code quality, etc.), their requirements (guides, sensors, principles, standards), and the context (mission, user needs, risks) explaining why they matter. The format is designed to be agent, tool, and vendor agnostic, with companion tools including a /quality agent skill and qualitymd CLI serving as reference implementations.
