+
+== Overview
+
+**Pre-commit hook for validating A2ML manifest files.**
+
+A2ML (Agnostic Agent Markup Language) is a manifest format for machine-readable
+metadata, AI agent instructions, and project state. This hook validates `.a2ml`
+files on commit for structural correctness and required fields.
+
+== Checks Performed
+
+1. **SPDX header** — `SPDX-License-Identifier` in the first 10 lines
+2. **Identity fields** — Requires `agent-id`, `name`, or `project` (relaxed for AI-MANIFEST files)
+3. **Version field** — `version` or `schema_version` presence
+4. **Attestation blocks** — Validates `proof`/`signature`/`hash` fields if `[attestation]` section exists
+
+== Installation
+
+Add to your `.pre-commit-config.yaml`:
