The Living Document for AI Workflows
The .ov format isn't just a configuration file—it's a deterministic, executable digital asset that makes AI workflows transparent and safe.
Beyond Raw YAML
When a user opens an .ov file, they shouldn't just see code. They should see the workflow, the required inputs, the data flow, and the permissions required.

Strict Validation
Powered by the @openverb/format parser, every document is strictly validated against JSON Schema definitions of your verbs. No hallucinations.
Explicit Permissions
Before execution, the OpenVerb runtime inspects the `.ov` file to ensure the executing agent has the required permissions to run the sequence of actions.
Platform Agnostic
Whether you are executing workflows in a web CRM, a desktop QGIS plugin, or a CLI tool, the `.ov` format remains portable and interoperable.
