+# Packaging Decision
+
+Date: 2026-05-03
+
+## Decision
+
+`markitect-tool` starts as a Python 3.12+ package with:
+
+- Distribution name: `markitect-tool`
+- Import package: `markitect_tool`
+- CLI entry point: `mkt`
+- Build backend: `setuptools`
+- Test runner: `pytest`
+- Source layout: `src/markitect_tool`
+
+## Initial Dependencies
+
+Core dependencies:
+
+- `markdown-it-py`
+- `PyYAML`
+- `click>=8.0`
+
+Optional extras:
+
+- `query`: `jsonpath-ng`
+- `tables`: `tabulate`
+- `llm`: `llm-connect`
+- `dev`: `pytest`
+
+## Rationale
+
+This follows the WP-0002 dependency classification and keeps the first
+implementation focused on deterministic markdown parsing and CLI access. The
+package name avoids legacy `markitect.*` imports while the `mkt` entry point
+matches the PRD.

 ## Follow-Up
 
-Once implementation dependencies exist, add an SBOM source and update State Hub
+SBOM source: `sbom-tools.yaml`.
-with the SBOM ingestion result. This seed repo currently has no package manifest.
+
+Initial SBOM ingest succeeded on 2026-05-03 with seven declared entries for the
+core and optional dependencies.
