Author a pack

A pack distributes static Atlante content. Use a pack when several projects need the same preset, template, or configured instance.

Pack structure

A package pack has one trusted root and declares atlante.format: 1 in its package.json:

review-pack/
├── package.json
├── atlante.jsonc
└── reviewer/
    ├── template.jsonc
    └── template.md

package.json

{
  "name": "@acme/review-pack",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "atlante": { "format": 1 }
}

The package can expose a preset root through atlante.jsonc:

atlante.jsonc

{
  "$schema": "https://atlante.sh/schema/v0.1/schema.json",
  "agents": {
    "reviewer": "./reviewer"
  }
}

Define a template

template.jsonc contains a JSON Schema Draft 2020-12 input contract. The paired template.md renders the validated input as Markdown. Keep input fields specific to the resource and document their intended use in the template.

A resource may contain an instance as well:

reviewer/
├── template.jsonc
├── template.md
└── instance.jsonc

An instance supplies input for exactly one effective template. It can be selected from a project by its package locator.

Keep packs static

Atlante reads selected metadata, resources, and transitive dependencies. It does not load JavaScript from a pack, call registration hooks, install dependencies, or enumerate unrelated package directories.

Version 0.1 has no plugin runtime or remote registry. A future extension may introduce additional distribution behavior, but it must preserve the separation between static prompt content and host execution.

Test a pack locally

Declare and install the pack in a consuming project, then select it explicitly:

npm install --save-dev @acme/review-pack
npx @atlante/cli init --preset @acme/review-pack
npx @atlante/cli validate
npx @atlante/cli build

Use resources and packs and resolution and composition for locator and inheritance rules.
