contract-default-values

A set of rules for checking that database column default values are correctly included when a schema contract is emitted. Human-readable tree output stays concise, while JSON and programmatic data retain the full defaults.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when changing database column defaults, re-emitting a contract, or building tools that read defaults from the schema data.
Why use it?
It prevents emitted schema data from silently losing default values or details about generated defaults such as autoincrementing IDs and timestamps.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

contract-default-values scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Contract Default Values

Key points

  • When adding column defaults, re-emit the contract and verify the emitted JSON includes the full default payload.
  • Add the corresponding defaults.* capability when using function defaults like autoincrement() or now().

CLI output: tree vs JSON

Column defaults are handled differently depending on output format:

  • Tree output (db introspect): Labels show only type and nullability, e.g. id: int4 (not nullable). Defaults are omitted from labels to keep tree output concise.
  • JSON output (db introspect --json): Full default information is preserved in the schema IR.
  • Programmatic access: Defaults are always available in SchemaTreeNode.meta.default for tooling that needs them.

This separation keeps human-readable tree output clean while preserving full data for automation.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
