Acquire a platform's or library's real contract from its own toolchain oracles before authoring against an unfamiliar one — infrastructure, a CLI invocation, code on a managed runtime, or code against an unfamiliar framework or third-party library whose contract you don't hold. Triggers on "deploy to", "write the Terraform / Pulumi / CDK for", "provision", "what's the right resource shape", "why does this apply fail", "what's the signature / does this still exist in this version…
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
# Skill: contract-acquisition This skill answers one question before you author anything against a **platform or library you don't know cold**: **what is its real contract — the flag set, resource schema, naming and immutability rules, and packaging model of a *platform*; the versioned signatures, deprecations, and call-order / lifecycle constraints of a *library* — and where does that contract come from?** The field-report failures this closes were not reasoning failures; they were *contract* failures: invented CLI flags, a violated naming regex, a wrong tool-schema shape, an immutable-field collision, a managed-runtime import model guessed wrong — and, on the software side, a non-existent signature, a removed keyword argument, a wrong return type, a call against a deprecated API. The fix is not to memorize more clouds or more libraries. It is to **drive the toolchain's own deterministic oracles** — the validate / plan / schema tools a stack ships, the type checker / compiler / introspection a language ships — and to ground authoring in what they return, declaring honestly how strong that oracle is. This is the **generalization of AGENTS.md's "Grep to verify a function exists …

How to install
mdr add eugenelim/agent-ready-repo/contract-acquisition@sha256:7b6b8f481442268cThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260829.fd59e28, 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.
