Source Pack Template for Collaborators

Package the minimum set of context a collaborator needs before they can help shape, edit, or publish an idea thread. It connects to shared-memory-index, research-inbox-triage-loop.

Working moves

• A good source pack includes the core note, key evidence, open objections, and the intended audience for the final piece.
• Keep the pack short enough to read quickly but rich enough that the collaborator does not accidentally reinvent old decisions.
• Use the same template across projects so people learn where to look for missing context.

Why it matters

Clear source packs reduce onboarding friction and make collaborative editing feel like participation instead of archaeology.
