# Packet Factory
The packet factory is the gatekeeper between intent and execution. Nothing with a side effect runs without an APPROVED packet.
## Commands
```bash
# Create a new packet (DRAFT status)
skills/packet-factory/new-packet.sh \
--intent "Post daily update to Slack #arc-angels" \
--source "Ludo DM 2026-04-01 09:00" \
--destination "Slack #arc-angels"
# Review a packet (set APPROVED or REJECTED)
skills/packet-factory/review-packet.sh --id 2026-04-01-001
# Dispatch an APPROVED packet (executes and logs output)
skills/packet-factory/dispatch-packet.sh --id 2026-04-01-001
```
## Packet Queue
All in-flight packets live in `memory/packet-queue.md`.
The heartbeat pre-flight check reads this file. DRAFT packets older than 24h are escalated to Ludo.
## Scope Lock Rule
Once a packet is APPROVED, `scope_locked_at` is set and the scope field is frozen.
If the task grows (new deliverable discovered, Ludo asks for something extra), the current packet is dispatched as-is and a **new packet** is created for the expansion. Never mutate an approved packet's intent or output.
This prevents the single most common failure mode: scope creep → context balloon → session death.
