+# Concept of project management for Pact projects
+
+Inspired by npm package- and tsconfig project-management.
+
+A `pact-project.json` needs to be in every package.
+
+> When that doesn't exist, it can be made by a depending project. It'll then
+> include a "source" property that points to the source files.
+
+The `pact-project.json` has properties that'll describe the project:
+
+- `name` (optional): is used to reference the project, or show in logs or error
+  messages
+- `description` (optional): description of the contents of the pact project
+- `dependencies` (optional): an list of dependencies that need to be made
+  available for the project to work properly
+- `dependencyTree`: an list of objects that define a smart contract and its
+  dependencies (recursively through `dependencies`)
+  - `path`: the path to the contract that needs to be available for the
+    depending project to work
+  - `dependencies`: a list of object that define this contracts' dependencies.
+
+# How should this be used
+
+A tool can interpret the `pact-project.json` to do various tasks
+
+## `kadena project`
+
+- `install` make dependencies available through downloading or other mechanism
+- `verify` verify that all dependencies are available
+- `deploy` will check whether the target network has the contracts available,
+  and deploys them where needed (new or upgrade deployment)
+
+# Example files
+
+There are 3 files in this project
+
+- [`./pact-project.json`](./pact-project.json) an example of a project config
+- [`./chainweb-pact-project.json`](./chainweb-pact-project.json) an example of
+  what a project file could look like when the target project has no
+  `pact-project.json`
+- [`structure.graphql`](./structure.graphql) a formalized description of the
+  contents of a `pact-project.json`
