## Definition

The Repository and Tool Configuration Record is the single authoritative document that defines the project’s repository structure, version control configuration, access controls, tool integrations, and environment readiness state. It is created once during Organizational Setup (SKL-01-03) and referenced throughout the project to ensure all team members and tools operate within the same governed environment.

**PMI Source:** PMBOK8 Guide §2.1.6.4 — Manage Project Knowledge; §2.6 — Resource Performance Domain.
