An open convention that embeds a small, machine-readable memory card inside PDFs and other documents so AI systems can skip repeated full-file reads.

Why it surfaced

The site offers a working PDF demo and a concrete `open-matter.yaml` card: roughly 1 KB of facts, page references, and document context written during a read the agent was already performing. It is unusually specific about the proposed layer, with a public spec, Claude plugin, skills, MCP components, and a free test requiring no account.
