The shared vocabulary that domain skills use to name Montaj operations. Domain skills phrase every Montaj interaction as one of these verbs; an interface skill defines how each verb is actually performed. Load this to learn the canonical verbs before authoring or reading a domain skill.
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
# The Vocabulary Contract Montaj's skills are split into **domain skills** (what to do — transport-agnostic) and **interface skills** (how Montaj is reached — native CLI/HTTP here, or a consumer's remote interface in another repo). This document is the small, stable vocabulary the two sides share. A **domain skill** describes creative/editing work in terms of the canonical verbs below — and nothing else. An **interface skill** defines HOW each verb is performed on a particular transport. The domain skills never need to know which interface is in play. This is a contract written for an LLM reader: it is prose conventions, not a strict schema. Phrase things naturally, but stay inside these verbs. ## The canonical verbs Each Montaj interaction is exactly one of these: - **run step `<name>` with `<args>`** — invoke a Montaj step and use its output. Steps are the core compute units: e.g. `waveform_trim`, `rm_nonspeech`, `transcribe`, `crop_spec`, `virtual_to_original`, `search_images`, `fetch_image`. (Authoring an overlay is NOT a step — overlays are written as files and saved into the project.) - **read the project** — get the current project state: clips, tracks, settings. …

How to install
mdr add thesampadilla/montaj/_contract@sha256:81ae5d06be67daa5The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260920.87073e5, 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.
