+# Package Templates
+
+Packages project approved knowledge into `dist/<package-name>/`.
+
+For the user-facing decision process, read
+[Package Outputs](../guides/package-outputs.md) first. This reference only
+documents the API and template behavior.
+
+## Package Factories
+
+```ts
+import { llmsPackage, kbPackage } from "@c4a/context";
+```
+
+### `kbPackage`
+
+```ts
+kbPackage({
+  name: "component-lib-kb",
+  template: {
+    path: "src/package-templates/kb",
+    vars: { displayName: "Component Library KB" },
+  },
+  select: {
+    collections: ["architecture", "sop"],
+    okfRoots: ["wikis", "guides"],
+    include: ["architecture/component-lib/**", "sop/component-lib/**"],
+    exclude: ["**/internal/**"],
+  },
+  navigation: {
+    foldDirectoryIndexes: true,
+    maxInlineEntries: 50,
+  },
+});
+```
+
+### `llmsPackage`
+
+```ts
+llmsPackage({
+  name: "component-lib-llms",
+  template: "src/package-templates/llms",
+  select: { include: ["codegraph/component-lib/**"] },
+});
+```
+
+## Required Fields
+
+| Field | Required | Meaning |
+|---|---:|---|
+| `name` | yes | Lowercase path-safe package name. Output goes to `dist/<name>/`. |
+| `template` | yes | Project-relative template directory or `{ path, vars }`. |
+| `select` | no | Approved knowledge selector. Omit to include all approved knowledge. Supports internal `collections`, OKF `okfRoots`, and `include` / `exclude` path patterns relative to `knowledge/`. |
+| `navigation` | no | KB directory-index policy. Defaults to `{ foldDirectoryIndexes: true, maxInlineEntries: 50 }`. |
+| `distribution` | no | Final knowledge-root namespace for a KB package. Defaults to `{ knowledgeNamespace: name }`; set it explicitly for a custom single- or multi-segment path. |
+
+`template` is required. Do not call `kbPackage({ name })` or
+`llmsPackage({ name })`.
+
+## Knowledge Distribution Namespace
+
+`name` identifies the build folder under `dist/` and is also the default
+single-level `distribution.knowledgeNamespace`. An explicit namespace may be
+one segment or a slash-separated sequence of safe lowercase path segments. A
+segment may contain letters and numbers joined by hyphens or dots, allowing
+identifiers such as `personal-user.123/package`. Keep every segment short,
+stable, and recognizable. Context treats the complete value as an opaque
+knowledge path and does not assign downstream meanings to individual segments.
+
+Templates keep a logical, consumer-neutral layout:
+
+```text
+skills/knowledge-query/SKILL.md
+wikis/index.md
+guides/...
+rules/...
+feats/...
+```
+
+For `name: "component-lib-kb"` with no explicit distribution, `context build`
+writes:
+
+```text
+skills/knowledge-query/SKILL.md
+wikis/component-lib-kb/index.md
+guides/component-lib-kb/...
+rules/component-lib-kb/...
+feats/component-lib-kb/...
+```
+
+The builder applies the knowledge mapping to template paths, copied knowledge,
+generated indexes, links, and inventory records. It does not apply the
+knowledge namespace to `skills/`, rewrite Markdown prose, or infer path
+segments from downstream platform identifiers. An explicit
+`distribution: { knowledgeNamespace: "platform/component-lib" }` produces the
+same shape under that multi-segment namespace instead.
+
+Because every KB package has a knowledge namespace, Skill templates must not
+hard-code flat package paths such as `wikis/index.md` or
+`rules/standards/index.md`.
+Use `{{wikisRoot}}`, `{{rulesRoot}}`, `{{guidesRoot}}`, or `{{featsRoot}}`
+instead. `context build` and `context status` reject flat Markdown links and
+inline-code paths in `skills/**/*.md` with
+`package/template-namespace-reference-flat`. This check is generic package
+validation; it does not depend on a downstream registry or distribution tool.
+
+Each rendered Skill must live at `skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md`, and its YAML
+frontmatter `name` must equal `<skill-name>`. Use `{{skillName}}` in custom
+Skill templates. Skill names are author-maintained: when a short prefix is
+useful, rename the template directory to the complete final name, such as
+`skills/android-query/`; Context does not derive it from
+`knowledgeNamespace`.
+
+## Template Variables
+
+Templates are rendered with Handlebars. Variables are available in both file
+contents and file paths.
+
+Built-in variables:
+
+| Variable | Meaning |
+|---|---|
+| `{{packageName}}` | Package name from the declaration. |
+| `{{packageKind}}` | `kb` or `llms`. |
+| `{{knowledgeNamespace}}` | Final KB knowledge namespace. Defaults to the package name; empty only for non-KB packages. |
+| `{{namespacedKnowledge}}` | Whether the package is a KB package with a knowledge namespace. |
+| `{{skillName}}` | Current author-maintained Skill directory name. |
+| `{{skillPath}}` | Current Skill's final package-relative `SKILL.md` path. |
+| `{{wikisRoot}}`, `{{guidesRoot}}`, `{{rulesRoot}}`, `{{featsRoot}}` | Final package-relative OKF root paths. |
+| `{{displayName}}` | Display name. Defaults to a title-cased `packageName`; override with `template.vars.displayName`. |
+| `{{knowledgeCount}}` | Number of selected approved Markdown files. |
+| `{{knowledgeTimestamp}}` | Latest `timestamp` from selected approved Markdown, or `1970-01-01T00:00:00.000Z` when empty. |
+| `{{knowledge}}` | Concatenated selected approved Markdown bundle. |
+| `{{approvedKnowledge}}` | Alias for `{{knowledge}}`. |
+| `{{knowledgeItems}}` | Array of selected approved knowledge page metadata for loops. |
+| `{{knowledgeGroups}}` | Selected approved knowledge pages grouped by OKF root and first directory segment; each item also exposes `internal_collection`. |
+| `{{knowledgeTreeNodes}}` | Nested path tree for custom navigation. |
+| `{{knowledgeTree}}` | Markdown tree preview. |
+| `{{knowledgeItemsMarkdown}}` | Markdown page list. |
+| `{{knowledgeGroupsMarkdown}}` | Markdown navigation for the current index: direct page links for folded directories and links to generated indexes for expanded directories. |
+
+Custom variables come from `template.vars`.
+
+For loops, conditionals, comments, and record fields, read
+[Template Variables](./template-variables.md).
+
+## Template Examples
+
+Installed examples:
+
+```text
+node_modules/@c4a/context/templates/package-templates/kb/
+node_modules/@c4a/context/templates/package-templates/llms/
+```
+
+Workspace convention:
+
+```text
+src/package-templates/
+├── kb/
+│   ├── AGENTS.md
+│   ├── wikis/
+│   │   └── index.md
+│   └── skills/
+│       └── knowledge-query/
+│           └── SKILL.md
+└── llms/
+    └── llms.txt
+```
+
+`kbPackage()` is for an agent knowledge-base package. The package still uses a
+`skills/` folder internally because Claude/Codex consume reusable agent
+instructions from that convention. Its template must contain at least one
+`SKILL.md` file and `wikis/index.md`. A template with only `AGENTS.md` is a
+placeholder document package, not a usable kb package, and `context build`
+rejects it.
+
+The default kb template includes:
+
+- `skills/knowledge-query/SKILL.md`, a reusable skill that teaches agents to
+  query copied knowledge pages structure-first, cite page/section evidence, use
+  `context-build-inventory.json` edge records for package-visible
+  relationships, and report gaps instead of inventing unsupported answers. The
+  default entry OKF root is `wikis/`; packages that select additional internal
+  collections expose
+  `guides/`, `rules/`, or `feats/` indexes when those roots are selected.
+- `wikis/index.md`, the editable OKF bundle entry page for the generated
+  `dist/<package-name>/wikis/<knowledge-namespace>/` directory.
+
+These are logical template paths. The package distribution namespace changes
+their final output paths as described above.
+
+During `context build`, the root `wikis/index.md` is rendered from the template.
+The builder always provides an index for every selected OKF root. With the
+default navigation policy, smaller child directories are folded into their
+nearest generated ancestor index, so a short collection can link directly to
+its pages instead of producing one index per path segment.
+
+## OKF Directory Indexes
+
+The generated
+`dist/<package-name>/wikis/<knowledge-namespace>/` tree is the required default
+KB entry surface. Internal collections are mapped into OKF roots during build:
+`codegraph`, `business`, and `product` go to `wikis/`; `architecture`, `sop`,
+`faq`, `decision`, and `incident` go to `guides/`; `standards` and `test` go to
+`rules/`; and `feats` goes to `feats/`. Treat `wikis/` as the structured
+entity-and-relationship layer. Guides and rules may explain, operationalize,
+or constrain that knowledge, but directory placement alone does not establish
+a relationship.
+
+Default navigation rules:
+
+- `wikis/index.md` is the required default bundle index. Other selected OKF
+  roots always use their own `<okf-root>/index.md`.
+- With `foldDirectoryIndexes: true`, a non-root directory gets its own
+  `index.md` only when its descendant knowledge-page count is greater than
+  `maxInlineEntries`. The default threshold is `50`.
+- A folded directory is not discarded. Its pages are listed in the nearest
+  generated ancestor index, grouped by their relative directory path.
+- The threshold counts selected knowledge pages in the path tree. It does not
+  inspect Markdown line counts, headings, or content semantics.
+- Set `foldDirectoryIndexes: false` to generate an `index.md` for every
+  directory, matching the fully expanded navigation shape.
+- A generated directory index uses OKF frontmatter with `type: Knowledge
+  Directory`, `title`, `description`, `tags`, `timestamp`, `resource`,
+  `package`, `package_kind`, and `knowledge_count`.
+- Directory indexes list generated child indexes first, then pages from folded
+  paths.
+- `context build` validates links in OKF root indexes and generated
+  child `index.md` files. Relative links must resolve to files inside
+  `dist/<package-name>/`; broken links are reported as
+  `package/index-link-invalid`.
+- If a project needs curated default navigation, edit the template-owned
+  `wikis/index.md`. Template files or copied knowledge pages that collide with
+  an index path selected by the current navigation policy are rejected during
+  build/status preflight.
+
+Users are expected to customize these template files. Edit
+`src/package-templates/kb/**` before `context build` to define project
+specific skills, prompts, routing rules, and package instructions. Do not add a
+package-name skill by default; add one only when the user wants project-specific
+behavior beyond knowledge lookup.
+
+## C4A OKF Profile
+
+Approved Markdown and kb package OKF output are an OKF superset:
+
+- top-level YAML frontmatter uses OKF fields such as `type`, `title`,
+  `description`, `tags`, `timestamp`, and `resource`;
+- C4A extension metadata such as `sources`, `visibility`, and `code_symbols`
+  also lives at the top level;
+- do not nest C4A extension metadata under `context`; fields such as
+  `context.sources` and `context.code_symbols` are not part of the 0.6 profile;
+- section provenance lives in `<!-- context:section ... source_ref="..." -->`
+  comments;
+- do not add frontmatter `source_refs`; page-level provenance is derived from
+  section source refs when needed;
+- do not add `context` or `schema` fields.
+
+Accepted section `source_ref` forms:
+
+```text
+src-N#symbol:<file>:<symbol-id>:<kind>@<digest>
+src-N#span:<heading-hint> L<start>-<end>@<span-hash>
+```
+
+The code symbol form includes the source-relative file so same-name symbols in
+different files resolve to one exact symbol-index row. Consumers should still
+treat the complete `source_ref` as opaque. Codegraph pages keep
+`candidate_fingerprint` at the top level and do not duplicate this evidence in
+`code_origin`.
+
+`#span:` refs retain source snapshot line ranges for human review, diffing, and
+stable re-pinning. They resolve against committed file/lark document snapshots,
+not the code symbol index.
+
+The kb package root may contain agent files such as `AGENTS.md` and `skills/`.
+The OKF-compatible surface is the selected `wikis/`, `guides/`, `rules/`, and
+`feats/` subtrees.
+
+## Build Behavior
+
+`context build`:
+
+1. Selects approved Markdown from `knowledge/`.
+2. Renders all files from `template.path`.
+3. Copies selected approved Markdown into the package output.
+4. For `llmsPackage`, appends selected knowledge to `llms.txt` when the template
+   does not already use `{{knowledge}}` or `{{approvedKnowledge}}`.
+5. Writes deterministic package inventory such as
+   `context-build-inventory.json`.
+6. Writes output under `dist/<package-name>/`.
+
+`context-build-inventory.json` records what was selected and why. Each selected
+file includes `selected_by` entries such as `{ "kind": "collection" }`,
+`{ "kind": "okf_root" }`, `{ "kind": "include" }`, or
+`{ "kind": "default" }`. The inventory also exposes package-visible typed
+edges under `structure.edge_records`; these records are filtered to edges whose
+endpoints are present in the selected package. Use those edge records for
+relationship citations inside the package instead of assuming the workspace
+`knowledge/structure.yaml` file is bundled.
+
+For KB packages, the inventory records `package.distribution` as
+`layout: "namespaced"` with the final `knowledge_namespace` and OKF root paths.
+Non-KB package types can remain `layout: "flat"`. Selected file and group
+records expose both the logical `okf_root` and final `okf_root_path`, so
+installers can inspect the layout without parsing paths or rewriting package
+content.
+
+Build expects approved knowledge to be closed when the project has source-bound
+document knowledge. When `workflow.current.reason_code` is
+`route.close.projection-stale`, run the exact returned close command. Current
+close derives
+`knowledge/structure.yaml`, persists approved edge projection, and runs the
+final verify gate. References, changelog, package index, and section
+fingerprint rebuilds are not current close output; build only packages the
+current closed state.
+
+Before writing output, `context build` validates that rendered template paths
+are safe, unique, and do not collide with copied knowledge paths. For example,
+a template file that renders to `wikis/codegraph/foo.md` is rejected if
+selected knowledge such as `knowledge/codegraph/foo.md` maps to that same OKF
+output path. Rename the template file or use `select.exclude` when the
+collision is intentional.
+
+After writing KB output, `context build` checks selected OKF root `index.md`
+files and generated child directory indexes. If an index link is broken, fix
+the package template, approved knowledge path, or directory index generation,
+then rerun `context build`; do not patch `dist/` directly as the durable fix.
+
+If a template describes package coverage, scope, known gaps, or known limits,
+it must cite approved knowledge, `context-build-inventory.json`, or
+explicitly rendered structure data. Otherwise build reports a
+template-boundary diagnostic. Keep factual claims in approved knowledge and
+structure; templates only package and route that material.
+
+After build, inspect the output shape. `context build` and `context verify`
+validate protocol structure; they do not decide whether the selected knowledge
+is meaningful enough for the user.
+
+## Select Patterns
+
+Package selection is evaluated in this order:
+
+1. `collections` filters by internal approved collection, for example
+   `architecture`, `sop`, `standards`, or `feats`.
+2. `okfRoots` filters by output root after OKF mapping: `wikis`, `guides`,
+   `rules`, or `feats`.
+3. `include` patterns are matched against approved paths relative to
+   `knowledge/`.
+4. `exclude` patterns remove matches after the previous filters.
+
+Path patterns are relative to `knowledge/`.
+
+```ts
+select: {
+  collections: ["architecture", "sop"],
+  okfRoots: ["wikis", "guides"],
+  include: ["architecture/component-lib/**", "sop/component-lib/**"],
+  exclude: ["**/internal/**"],
+}
+```
+
+If `include` is omitted, all approved knowledge is included unless excluded.
+When `collections` or `okfRoots` are present, a file must pass those filters
+before include/exclude path matching is considered.
