First beta release for the Universal Document Structure Layer

UDSL: Universal Document Structure Layer
Is an AI-native, model-agnostic document framework designed to make large language models produce:

- structurally consistent
- explainable
- auditable
- human-aligned
- repeatable long-form documents

-UDSL v1.0 — Universal Document Structure Layer

+##  What is UDSL?
 
-📘 What is UDSL?
+**UDSL (Universal Document Structure Layer)** is an AI-native, model-agnostic document framework designed to make 
+large language models produce:
 
-UDSL (Universal Document Structure Layer) is a vendor-neutral document architecture that forces large language models (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, etc.) to generate:
+- structurally consistent  
+- explainable  
+- auditable  
+- human-aligned  
+- repeatable long-form documents  
 
-structurally consistent
+It works across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, and open-source models via one unified document standard.
 
-explainable
+UDSL defines:
 
-auditable
+- canonical outline structures  
+- reasoning schemas (Toulmin, deductive, inductive)  
+- tone profiles  
+- UX writing constraints  
+- terminology maps  
+- compliance validation rules  
+
+---
+
+##  Why UDSL exists
+
+LLMs produce tokens — not documents — causing:
+
+- missing sections  
+- drifting structure  
+- inconsistent reasoning  
+- hallucinated outlines  
+- differences between models  
+
+UDSL fixes this by enforcing one shared, explicit structure layer.
+
+---
 
-human-aligned
+##  Contents of v1.0
 
-long-form documents
+- UDSL Core Specification (PDF)  
+- Canonical YAML + Markdown definitions  
+- Validator toolkit (structure, reasoning, tone, terminology)  
+- Integration profiles (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity)  
+- Example UDSL-compliant documents  
+- Integrity scripts (checksums + ZIP builder)  
+- Release notes + checksum file

+- Overview
+
+UDSL (Universal Document Structure Layer) is a vendor-neutral architecture designed to make large language models
+(ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Grok, Llama, etc.) produce:
+
+structurally consistent documents
+
+explainable reasoning
+
+auditable long-form output
+
+multi-model aligned text
+
+repeatable, reliable structure
+
+Instead of relying on ad-hoc prompting, UDSL introduces a formal specification layer with:
+
+canonical YAML structure definitions
 
 reasoning schemas (Toulmin, deductive, inductive)
 
 tone profiles
 
-UX writing rules
+UX writing constraints
 
-terminology maps
+terminology consistency rules
 
-🎯 What problem does UDSL solve?
+UDSL is not a model — it is a standard that any model can follow.
 
-LLMs generate tokens, not documents — causing:
+# Why UDSL Exists
+
+LLMs generate tokens, not documents.
+This causes:
 
 structural drift
 
-missing sections
+missing or inconsistent sections
+
+unstable tone
 
-inconsistent tone
+weak or incomplete reasoning
 
-weak reasoning
+differences between models for the same prompt
 
-model-to-model variance
+UDSL solves this through a unified, enforceable, model-agnostic structure layer.
 
-UDSL solves this through one unified layer that every model can follow identically.
+Every compliant document produced by any LLM becomes:
