Packer Agendas
This directory contains active packer discussion agendas.
Active Agendas
There are currently no active packer agendas.
The first packer agenda wave was consolidated into normative specs under ../specs/ and didactic material under ../learn/.
Purpose
An agenda exists to drive a decision.
Use an agenda when:
- the packer topic is still open,
- multiple options or tradeoffs must be evaluated,
- scope and non-goals need to be made explicit,
- the order of discussion matters,
- the team still needs a recommendation before committing direction.
An agenda should help the reader converge, not just accumulate notes.
Expected Format
A packer agenda should usually include:
- Title
- Status
- Purpose
- Context
- Options
- Tradeoffs
- Recommendation
- Open Questions
- Expected Follow-up
Writing Rules
- Keep the document centered on unresolved questions.
- State the concrete decision the discussion is trying to produce.
- Prefer explicit tradeoffs over vague option lists.
- Avoid drafting large blocks of final normative spec text here.
- Be specific about packer scope: asset workspace, build artifacts, diagnostics, registry, shipper boundary, and related contracts.
Exit Rule
An agenda should leave the active set when:
- the main tradeoffs are understood,
- a recommendation is clear enough to adopt,
- and the topic is ready to become a decision record.
