The README claimed 'validated by JSON Schema' — now it is true. /schemas holds a JSON Schema for each entity type (Person, Body, Candidate, Jurisdiction): a stricter profile over OKF's permissive base, tolerating unknown keys by design. scripts/validate.py checks all 17,506 files with no third-party deps (hand-rolled frontmatter parser + minimal schema engine): 1. OKF conformance — every file has frontmatter with a non-empty type 2. Schema conformance — required fields, property types, enums 3. Link integrity — internal /-rooted links resolve Non-zero exit on failure, so it is a CI gate. Verified with a negative test: it catches bad enums and dead links. All 17,506 files pass today. Makefile ties it together: make build / validate / check. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
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.
