Read BEFORE authoring or revising an L-layer emitter, an L-layer schema field, or a layer gate. Answers the three questions no program can decide for you — WHICH of the 27 layers a given fact belongs in (the layer that CONSUMES it, not any layer that mentions it), WHETHER the thing you are specifying is structural (closed, enumerable, correct-by-construction, therefore a program) or behavioural (no unique correct implementation, therefore synthesis and not expansion), and WHETHER a declarative…

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

# Layer Contract Doctrine

**Purpose.** The L1-L27 corpus is a layered intermediate representation:
natural language in, structured JSON through, RTL and back end out. Every gate
we own checks a layer against a contract. Nothing in the tree states what the
contract IS, so each author re-derives it, and each re-derivation is one more
chance to put a fact in a layer that nothing downstream reads.

This skill is that statement. It is deliberately short on things a program can
check and long on the three judgements a program cannot make.

Chip-AGNOSTIC: every rule below is a property of the layering, not of any
design, PDK, vendor or part number. The measured evidence names L-doc fields,
program files and line numbers — never a customer part.

**Provenance — which parts are ours and which are borrowed.** Stated up front
because the difference changes how much weight a section carries.

| Section | Origin |
|---|---|
| §1 (Y-chart refinement, ESL/golden-model, MDA/MDE traceability, ABD) | **External.** Restated from an external survey of spec→RTL methodology, the same survey cited in the Provenance block of issue #377. Framing borrowed; not independently re-derived here. |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add vibeic/vibe-ic/layer-contract-doctrine@sha256:4a0dfc7f485c014d

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260726.e1f7625, 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.
