Score: 5.8/10 (Innovation: 5, Technical: 6, Documentation: 7, Utility: 5)

mdt is a Rust CLI that lets agents and humans read and edit Markdown files with revision-based diffs, reducing token re-reads. It frames Markdown as a shared state space with cursor paging, snapshot comparisons, and guarded edits, which is a clever angle for LLM tooling.

Target audience: backend devs and AI agent developers
