Use for the exact input/output schema and validation rules of agent_contract_handoff.
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
# Agent Contract Handoff Reference This skill owns schema, not workflow. Use `agent-protocol` to produce a turn and `agent-response` to consume it. The envelope body is JSON, never YAML. **Two senses of "contract" -- do not collapse them.** This skill's "contract" is the *handoff* envelope: one row per turn, born at dispatch under the injected `# Your Contract` block, mutated by `gaia contract set/add/fill`, closed by `gaia contract finalize`. A *project context contract* is a different thing -- a slice of project knowledge stored per workspace (`project_context_contracts`, seeded by `seed_contract_permissions.py`). It is NOT injected: the kernel's `can_read` / `can_write` lists (from `agent_contract_permissions`) name which of those slices the turn may pull on demand (the verb that reaches them, and the same-named sibling that reads a different table entirely, are in `agent-protocol/read-map.md`) and which it may propose updates to via `update_contracts`. When a message says "contract" without qualifying it, ask which one it means before assuming. ## Draft creation is implicit A turn born at dispatch already has a row in `agent_contract_handoffs` AND a …

How to install
mdr add metraton/gaia/agent-contract-handoff@sha256:87e885ae524bf568The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261015.05c65fd, 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.
