# aDNA — Agentic DNA Knowledge Architecture (full index)

> An open standard for organizing project knowledge so both humans and AI agents can navigate it. Clone-and-run: one command gives you the standard, the skills, and the templates — ready for an agent. Local-first; federation is opt-in.

## Edge types (14 cited relationships)

- umbrella (1): an org-vault contains its org-graph / pillar children
- federation (9): a consumer wrapper depends on the forge / framework it consumes
- partner (0): a platform ships with its default partner
- companion (4): a sibling persona-pair or thematic family
- supersedes (0): a successor replaced its predecessor (lifecycle)
