Portable workflow for repos that require tracked change contracts, verifier evidence, and smallest-proof validation. Use when a repo has a contract policy file or enforced feature-plan checker.

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 Process

Find the repo's contract policy file for paths, record locations, lanes, and
validation profiles. It owns contract mechanics within the host's instruction
hierarchy; it does not override higher-authority task constraints. Inspect a
policy/documentation mismatch before deciding which artifact needs correction.

This is a process overlay, not a thinking aid. Pair it with the repo's implementation skill for the touched code and any repo-local contract overlay that names the actual policy path and helper commands.

## Activity and authority

- Review or planning: inspect policy, records, and enforcement; return findings
  or a proposed contract without modifying files. Write a record only when the
  requested output or an authorized implementation workflow requires it.
- Implementation: maintain the required record as part of the already-authorized
  change. Do not ask again for ordinary record updates covered by that scope.
- A policy file or declared command does not authorize installation, publication,
  or other consequential side effects. Inspect commands before running them;
  executable policy files are code, not inert configuration.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add n-n-code/n-n-code-skills/development-contract-process@sha256:ae304f424bfa89f6

The 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.
