One record, one file. The jurisdiction tree is now real: us/people/ 542 federal us/states/<xx>/people/ 7,561 state us/states/fl/counties/<c>/people/ 1,058 county .../municipalities/<m>/people/ 2,124 municipal (67 FL counties) Each file is OKF markdown + YAML frontmatter: fixed key order, field-level source provenance, Atlas UUIDs for round-tripping, deterministic paths and slugs. Converter passes the determinism test: two runs, byte-identical tree. Generated by scripts/convert_officeholders.py from data/officeholders-v2.jsonl (unchanged).

Republic OS
An open, version-controlled mirror of public power in the United States.
Government is already software: statutes are code, agencies are processes, elections change the maintainers, and a bill is a pull request against the law. What government has never had is a changelog. This repository is that changelog.
The diff is the product. Every file here mirrors the observable public state of a government entity — people, offices, bodies, meetings, organizations, money, issues — as deterministic, sourced, human-readable records. When government changes, the files change, and git makes the change visible, permanent, and inspectable.
- Founding document: Technical Brief — Government as Software
- Format: Markdown + YAML frontmatter (OKF-conformant), validated by JSON Schema
- Data: raw source exports land in
data/first; refinement into structured entity files is itself a visible diff - Substrate for: influence.tools
Three disciplines govern everything here: never overwrite, never rewrite history, always push off-box.
