## Purpose

Draft packaging design requirements including dieline context, hierarchy, compliance, and shelf intent.

## Use when

- Packaging projects need structured requirements before concepting and production.
- The task involves package-specific constraints, not general print collateral layout.

## Required inputs

- Product details, packaging type, and mandatory claims [client-provided].
- Context from context/BRAND-CONTEXT.template.md and context/CLIENT-CONTEXT.template.md.
- Regulatory/compliance notes, dielines, material and finishing constraints.

## Safety/authority

- No invented compliance approvals, certifications, or product claims.
- No execution/output to printer; brief and checklist only.
- Flag missing legal/regulatory inputs before recommendation.

## Workflow

1. Define packaging objective, audience, and purchase context.
2. Map panel hierarchy (front/back/sides) and required copy elements.
3. Capture production constraints (dieline, material, print process, finishing).
4. List validation gates for legal/compliance and prepress review.

## Output format
```

- Packaging brief summary
- Panel/content hierarchy map
- Production constraints register
- Compliance and approval gates
```

## Quality checks

- All mandatory packaging claims are sourced from supplied inputs only.
- Technical constraints and compliance gates are explicit before execution.
