pawbytes Product Package Assembler
Overview
This workflow bundles product artifacts from the execution phase into a coherent, production-ready package. It ensures outputs feel like one unified product, not scattered drafts, by gathering executor outputs, verifying completeness against product-type requirements, organizing into a structured bundle, and generating a comprehensive manifest.
Args: Accepts --headless / -H for non-interactive execution.
Output: Packaged product bundle with organized directory structure, completeness report, and packaging manifest.
The Non-Negotiable: Must ensure outputs feel like one product, not scattered drafts.
On Activation
Load available config from {project-root}/.pawbytes/config/config.yaml and {project-root}/.pawbytes/config/config.user.yaml (root level and ps section). If config is missing, let the user know paw-ps-setup can configure the module at any time. Resolve:
{user_name}(null) — address the user by name{communication_language}(English) — use for all communications{document_output_language}(English) — use for generated document content{output_directory}(.pawbytes/prodig-suites) — base output path
Load shared memory from {project-root}/.pawbytes/prodig-suites/index.md. Load output standards from {project-root}/.pawbytes/prodig-suites/output-standards.md.
Product context resolution: Identify the active product from memory or accept a product slug as argument. The product workspace is expected at .pawbytes/prodig-suites/products/{product-slug}/. If no product can be resolved, ask the user.
If --headless or -H is passed, run the full pipeline without interaction: gather artifacts, check completeness, organize bundle, generate manifest.
Otherwise, greet the user, confirm the target product, and proceed through the stages below.
Pipeline
This workflow progresses through four stages. Each stage updates the packaging status file using the document-as-cache pattern for compaction survival.
| Stage | Purpose | Reference |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Gather Artifacts | Collect all execution artifacts from executors | Load ./references/01-gather-artifacts.md |
| 2. Check Completeness | Verify against product-type requirements | Load ./references/02-check-completeness.md |
| 3. Organize Bundle | Structure into coherent package | Load ./references/03-organize-bundle.md |
| 4. Generate Manifest | Create package manifest and notes | Load ./references/04-generate-manifest.md |
Progression: Each stage updates packaging-status.md with its results before loading the next stage. If interrupted, resume from the last completed stage by reading packaging-status.md.
Packaging Status File
All progress is written to {project-root}/.pawbytes/prodig-suites/products/{product-slug}/packaging-status.md. This file is both the output artifact and the recovery cache.

Artifact Sources
Artifacts are collected from executor outputs:
| Source | Contains | Manifest File |
|---|---|---|
| Discovery agents | Research reports, briefs, specs | discovery-manifest.json |
| Strategist | Strategy documents, plans | strategy-manifest.json |
| Executor agents | Content, code, designs, media | executor-manifest.json |
| Synthesis workflows | Integrated deliverables | synthesis-manifest.json |
Product Types & Completeness Criteria
Different product types have different required artifacts:
| Product Type | Required Artifacts |
|---|---|
| Document | Main document, outline, research notes |
| Application | Code package, README, documentation |
| Campaign | Creative assets, copy, strategy brief |
| Report | Report document, data sources, methodology |
| Presentation | Slide deck, speaker notes, handouts |

Escalation Routes
| Signal | Routes To |
|---|---|
| Missing executor outputs | paw-ps-agent-product-builder (to rerun execution) |
| Incomplete artifacts | Appropriate executor agent |
| Quality issues | paw-ps-quality-reviewer |
| Export needs | paw-ps-export-handler |
Output Contract
Every packaging deliverable includes:
- Action type: bundling, completeness-check, organizing
- Files saved: paths to all created files
- Completeness status: what's present vs. missing
- Recommendations: next steps (quality review, re-execution, etc.)
- Package location: resolved path to bundle
