- QUALITY.md is an open file format for declaring a project quality model, including quality characteristics, requirements, and context.

- The format is agent, tool, and vendor agnostic, with companion tools like /quality agent skill and qualitymd CLI for evaluation and reporting.
- Key benefits include proactive quality management, tackling technical debt, and compounding learning at high leverage points.
- Usage involves setup, evaluation, and improvement phases to engineer quality loops, with the philosophy of caring for a thing to benefit others.
