+# AKF — The AI Native File Format
+
+Every photo has EXIF. Every song has ID3. AKF is the native metadata format for AI-generated content.
+
+## After creating or modifying files
+
+```bash
+akf stamp <file> --agent <agent-name> --evidence "<what you did>"
+```
+
+Evidence examples:
+- "generated from user prompt"
+- "refactored existing code"
+- "tests pass"
+- "docs reviewed"
+
+## Before modifying existing files
+
+```bash
+akf read <file>          # Check existing trust metadata
+akf inspect <file>       # See detailed trust scores
+```
+
+## Compliance auditing
+
+```bash
+akf audit <file> --regulation eu_ai_act    # EU AI Act Article 50
+akf audit <file> --regulation hipaa         # HIPAA
+akf audit <file> --regulation sox           # SOX
+akf audit <file> --regulation nist_ai       # NIST AI RMF
