Open Engineer

An open standard for preserving engineering context.

Open Engineer does not seek to tell engineers what to think. It seeks to preserve how engineers arrive at understanding.

What Is Open Engineer?

An open standard that applies to any discipline in which practitioners make decisions under constraints, observe outcomes, and transmit results to subsequent practitioners.

Repository Structure

Directory	Responsibility
spec/	Defines the standard (OE-0000 through OE-0011)
reference/	Explains and indexes (vocabulary, patterns, editorial principles)
examples/	20 examples across 9 disciplines and 11 conceptual areas
laws/	Binding constraints on all content
rfc/	Proposals for changes to the standard

The spec defines. The reference explains. The examples illustrate. The laws constrain. No overlap.
