Documentation
Learn the modelling concepts, inspect complete examples and look up the CMMF 1.3.0-beta.1 format.
Start with a content need, describe the model, then decide how to implement it in a CMS. These pages explain the format and make its precise rules easy to find.
New to CMMF?
Section titled “New to CMMF?”Read Start with the content, keep the intent, then create your first model set. The Customer Story tutorial takes you from a content brief to validated files and a Studio import.
Prefer a canvas? Follow the same model visually. The example catalogue contains complete downloads for Customer Story and the canonical Article set.
Understand the model
Section titled “Understand the model”- Project structure: manifests and model files.
- Model kinds: entries, components, objects, taxonomies and settings.
- Relationships: linking, embedding and repeatability.
- Validation: structure, semantics and implementation concerns.
- Translation: platform-specific choices and compromises.
- Visualisation: inspect a model’s relationships.
Make the modelling decisions
Section titled “Make the modelling decisions”- Glossary: the terms behind the format.
- Embed or reference?: reuse and lifecycle.
- Rich text: formatting and embed capabilities.
- Localisation: content variation and implementation policy.
- Editorial intent: help, labels, previews and ownership.
- Validation errors: diagnose and repair common failures.
- Migration to 1.2.0: preserve intent while updating notation.
Find the exact rule
Section titled “Find the exact rule”- Canonical types.
- CMMF 1.3.0-beta.1 specification.
- Translation contract 1.3.0-beta.1.
- Download the 1.3.0-beta.1 model schema.
- Changelog.
Work with the tools
Section titled “Work with the tools”The tool overview introduces Studio and the CMMF Skills workflows. Tool capabilities and validation boundaries are described separately from format rules.
Current learning material targets CMMF 1.3.0-beta.1. Historical 1.1.0 specification text is available with an archive notice; the current schema does not establish validation for that version.
Work with Skills
Section titled “Work with Skills”The six Skills workflows share installation and tool documentation across editions. Check helper compatibility before using them: experimental beta semantics are not supported.
Experimental additions
Section titled “Experimental additions”Start with adopting the beta, then read document-level validation hints. Field constraints remain unchanged; the new declarations record conditional and cross-field intent.
