Use when starting a complex or ambiguous task that risks scope drift.
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
# Intent Contract System ## Purpose The intent contract creates a **persistent record of user intent** that: - Captures what the user is trying to accomplish - Defines success criteria upfront - Establishes boundaries and constraints - Travels through the entire workflow - Validates final outputs against original intent This closes the loop between intention and delivery. --- ## Intent Contract Structure The intent contract is stored in the current resolved plan run directory as `session-intent.md`. Use `scripts/plan-storage.sh` to create or recover that directory; never write a loose intent file into `.claude/`. ```markdown # Intent Contract **Created**: [ISO timestamp] **Workflow**: [discover/embrace/review/etc.] **Status**: [active/validating/completed] ## Job Statement What the user is trying to accomplish (JTBD framework). [User's goal in plain language] ## Success Criteria ### Good Enough - [Minimum viable success criterion 1] - [Minimum viable success criterion 2] ### Exceptional - [Excellence criterion 1] - [Excellence criterion 2] ## Boundaries What this should NOT be: - [Boundary 1: What to avoid] - [Boundary 2: What's out of scope] …

How to install
mdr add nyldn/claude-octopus/skill-intent-contract@sha256:1e1b1f7626bdff23The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260902.79d62e2, 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.
