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?

Open Engineer is a standard. Not a philosophy. Not documentation. Not an AI project. Not a website. Those become implementations. The standard comes first.

Quick Start

• CHARTER.md — Project charter and purpose
• ROADMAP.md — Current phase and development roadmap
• CONTRIBUTING.md — How to contribute
• spec/ — The canonical specification (OE-0000 through OE-0011)
• rfc/ — Requests for Comments (RFC-0000 through RFC-0006)
• reference/ — Vocabulary, patterns, and editorial principles
• laws/ — Engineering laws and communication principles
• examples/ — Illustrative examples (weaving, bridges, clockwork, Antikythera)

Mission

It gave engineering a common language for preserving understanding across people, projects, generations, and intelligent systems — so that every generation could begin a little closer to bedrock than the last.

Structure

The spec defines. The reference explains. The examples illustrate. The tools implement. No overlap.
