FMQL is a schemaless query engine and CLI for bulk editing and querying directories of Markdown and YAML frontmatter files. It's interesting because it combines a SQL-like filter DSL, graph traversal (Cypher subset), and bulk edit operations into a unified tool for managing structured data in flat files, filling a gap between simple grep and heavyweight databases.

Target audience: backend devs, devops, technical writers, knowledge managers
