+# OpenPAKT Example Artifacts
+
+This directory contains **non-normative example artifacts** demonstrating how OpenPAKT specifications can be implemented in practice.
+
+These examples are provided to help implementers understand how OpenPAKT documents may appear when used by scanners, CI systems, and security tooling.
+
+Examples are intended for **learning and reference purposes only**.
+
+---
+
+## Non-normative note
+
+The example artifacts in this directory are **not part of the normative OpenPAKT specification**.
+
+Implementations should rely on the documents in the `spec/` directory as the authoritative definition of OpenPAKT structure and behaviour.
+
+Examples should not introduce new required fields, semantics, or behaviours that are not defined by the specification.
+
+---
+
+## Example artifacts
+
+### `report-example.json`
+
+Example OpenPAKT report output illustrating how scan results and findings may be represented using the v0.1 report schema.
+
+This example demonstrates:
+
+- report metadata
+- scan metadata
+- target metadata
+- severity summary counts
+- findings structure
+
+---
+
+### `scenario-prompt-injection-example.yaml`
+
+Example scenario demonstrating a **prompt injection attempt**.
+
+This scenario illustrates how adversarial user input may attempt to override system instructions or request sensitive information.
+
+---
+
+### `scenario-tool-abuse-example.yaml`
+
+Example scenario demonstrating **attempted tool misuse or privilege escalation**.
+
+This scenario illustrates how an agent should avoid invoking privileged tools when prompted by untrusted input.
+
+---
+
+### `scenario-data-exfiltration-example.yaml`
+
+Example scenario demonstrating a **data exfiltration attempt**.
+
+This scenario illustrates how a security test can verify that an agent does not expose sensitive data such as credentials, system prompts, or secrets.
+
+---
+
+## Adding new examples
+
+Contributors may add additional example artifacts to demonstrate OpenPAKT usage patterns.
+
+When adding examples, please follow these guidelines:
+
+- Examples **must align with the current OpenPAKT specification**.
+- Examples **must remain non-normative**.
+- Examples **must not introduce new required fields or semantics**.
+- Scenario examples should contain **a single scenario object per file**.
+- File names should clearly describe the example they represent.
+
+Recommended naming conventions:
+
+```text
+scenario-<attack-type>-example.yaml
+report-<description>-example.json
+```
+
+Examples should remain **small, readable, and implementation-agnostic**.
+
+---
+
+## Purpose of examples
+
+Example artifacts help:
+
+- implementers understand how OpenPAKT documents are structured
+- tool developers build compatible scanners and CI integrations
+- contributors create reproducible security testing scenarios
