# 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.
