This looks great, and I’ve bookmarked to give it a go.

Any reason you’ve opted for custom markdown formats with the @ syntax rather than using something like frontmatter?

Very conscious that this would prevent any markdown rendering in github etc.

I've answered this exact question in a previous hn comment thread a few weeks ago, maybe I should reconsider front-matter? My previous answer:

> Yeah, I did briefly consider front-matter, but ended up with inline @ tags because I thought it kept the entire document feeling like one coherent spec instead of header-data + body, front matter felt like config to me, but this is 0.0.1 so things might change :)
