+# Future Breaking Changes
+
+This document tracks cleanup changes we want to make in a future major version bump. These are architectural improvements that would break existing import paths or APIs.
+
+**Current version:** 0.x (pre-1.0)
+
+---
+
+## `@actions/workflow-parser`
+
+### Move shared utilities from `workflows/` to `templates/`
+
+Several files in `workflows/` are actually generic and should live in `templates/`:
+
+| File | Current Location | Proposed Location | Notes |
+|------|------------------|-------------------|-------|
+| `yaml-object-reader.ts` | `workflows/` | `templates/` | Generic YAML parsing, no workflow dependencies |
+| `file.ts` | `workflows/` | `templates/` | Generic `{ name, content }` interface |
+| `file-provider.ts` | `workflows/` | `templates/` | Generic interface |
+
+**Impact:** Import paths change for consumers using deep imports.
+
+### Consolidate export strategy
+
+Currently:
+- `index.ts` exports the "public API" 
+- `package.json` has `"./*"` allowing deep imports to anything
+
+Consider:
+- Explicitly define which subpaths are stable API
+- Document internal vs public paths
+- Or: export everything needed from `index.ts` subpath exports
+
+---
+
+## `@actions/languageservice`
+
+### Rename `action.ts` for clarity
+
+`languageservice/src/action.ts` contains types for **consuming** actions (validating `uses:` in workflows). The name is ambiguous now that we have action.yml **authoring** support.
+
+Consider renaming to:
+- `action-metadata.ts` — clearer that it's about fetched metadata
+- `action-consumer.ts` — clearer about the use case
+
+---
+
+## Notes
+
+- Add items here as we discover them during development
+- Group by package
+- Include impact assessment for each change
