Research direction
Start with the linked pak documentation page and review the extra fields it describes for package DESCRIPTION files. Create a single documentation page explaining each field, how pak uses it, and how other parties are intended to use it; done means the fields and their usage are documented together.

Description
From the pak documentation, I've found some discussion of a few fields which are added to the DESCRIPTION files of packages installed using pak. However, as a package developer, I would find it helpful to have a single page to document these and explain how they are used by pak, and how they are intended to be used by other parties.
Many thanks - pak is an amazing package 😃
