Use ONLY when the user asks for /archflow-contract or "archflow contract". The release's API contract architecture, and per-story endpoint specs that clear a story's contract gate.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

# /archflow-contract — API contract architecture and per-story endpoints

API architecture splits into two kinds of work, exactly as `phase-2.5-api-architecture.md` defines
it, mirroring the design split. This command owns both.

1. **Foundation** — the contract *architecture*, set once at release start. Auth pattern, URL and
   JSON conventions, the error-response envelope, pagination, versioning. The shared rules every
   endpoint obeys.
2. **Per-story gate** — one story's *endpoints*, specified just-in-time against that architecture,
   one step ahead of its build. Clears that story's `needs_contract` gate.

The contract is the SACRED DOCUMENT. `api-engineer` and `ui-engineer` both build against
it with zero tolerance for deviation, and `qa-engineer` verifies implementations against it. This
command is the only sanctioned way to change it.

## Usage
```
/archflow-contract                → show the contract architecture, or create it if absent
/archflow-contract <story-id>     → specify one story's endpoints and clear its contract gate
                                    e.g. /archflow-contract S7-20

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add azidan/archflow/archflow-contract@sha256:751b9a284a16f219

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260911.a26fb9f, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
