Template for authoring or revising the thin repo-local overlay generated by the development contract system. Use when writing overlay guidance that names a target repo's policy path, plan directory, checker command, lifecycle helper, or validation profiles; use `development-contract-process` for ordinary work in a repo that already has the system.
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.
What the file says
# Development Contract Repo Overlay Template This skill documents the expected shape of the repo-local overlay that a target repository should have after adopting the development contract system. It is not guidance for this skills repository itself, which only stores the reusable skills. Use target policy as the source for contract mechanics within the host's instruction hierarchy. Keep an unresolved policy/documentation conflict visible; do not decide it merely by preferring whichever file was opened first. ## Use this skill when - authoring or revising the repo-local overlay generated for a target repository - checking that overlay guidance matches the target repo's policy file, checker command, lifecycle helper, plan directory, and validation profiles - deciding which repo-specific literals belong in the overlay versus the policy file Do not use this skill as the primary process for ordinary implementation work inside a target repo. For that, use `development-contract-process` plus the target repo's actual local overlay and implementation skill. ## Repo overlay workflow 1. Select findings, draft, or apply from the request. Findings and conversation …

How to install
mdr add n-n-code/n-n-code-skills/development-contract-repo-overlay-template@sha256:019b9e6e3c5c0ce6The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260904.6c1f699, 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.
