AINB is a little endian format similar to most Switch file formats. An AINB file consists of a set of interconnected nodes which act like a syntax tree and control the behavior of actors. These nodes can also be calls to external AINB files, allowing AINB files to form entire trees of files. The root file of the tree will have <code>.root.ainb</code> as their extension while each module in the tree will have the extension <code>.module.ainb</code>. There are three primary categories of AINB files in ''TotK'': AI, Logic, and Sequence. For AI and Sequence files, the file's entry point is one or more commands which is linked to one or two child nodes. All nodes are accessed by their index (references to precondition nodes will use their precondition node index which is local to the amount of precondition nodes in the file).

All string offsets in the file are relative to the beginning of the string pool and name hashes are 32-bit murmur3 hashes. There are six possible types for AINB parameters: int (signed 32-bit integer), bool, float (32-bit), vector3f, and pointer. Pointer parameters are pointers to objects.
