sprint-contract

sprint-contract is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from David405/harness-kit. It costs 82 tokens per session (570 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A planning guide that creates an approved work plan before non-trivial code changes begin. It records scope, decisions, tests, affected areas, success conditions, and quality checks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define a feature branch, separate included and excluded work, plan tests, map likely effects, and identify questions that block implementation.
Why use it?
It prevents unclear requirements and unreviewed implementation from turning into code changes that are difficult to verify.

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

sprint-contract 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 2mo 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

Sprint contract

Kit-owned. Edit in the harness-kit repo, not in the consumer repo.

Contract before code. No test or production code exists before the human approves this and confirms the branch name.

When to use

Any non-trivial change. Trivial fixes (typo, one-line config) may use a condensed contract if AGENTS.md allows it.

When not to use

A Solidity security review → solidity-audit. A periodic quality audit → code-audit.

Steps

  1. Pick one work-type profile. It decides which quality gates are in force and which are N/A.
  2. Scope, both halves. What this sprint delivers, and explicitly what it does not.
  3. Propose a feature branch. Ask: "Confirm feature branch <name> (yes / or another name)." Do not create or check out anything until the human replies. Never implement on the default branch.
  4. Lock decisions, or record them Open with an owner and a needed-by.
  5. Tests first. Name the failing tests and the repo's real verify commands from AGENTS.md. For behaviour-preserving refactors, characterization tests replace product TDD.
  6. Impact map, every path marked [GROUNDED] (verified in the repo) or [EDUCATED] (re-verify first).
  7. Falsifiable success criteria — command output, status and body, a revert, a log field. Never "works correctly" or "clear error".
  8. Blocking questions with a recommendation each, so approval is one message.

Opening the PR

Contracts stay local (skills/.harness/ is gitignored). When the human asks to publish, use the create-pull-request skill — a detailed, product-facing PR body only.

Do not paste this contract, feature ledger IDs, harness-review output, or contract HTML markers into the GitHub PR title or body. Review runs in chat before the PR is opened.

No tool attribution in the title, body, or commit messages, and a commit's author is the human.

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

sprint-contract is a skill published in the GitHub repository David405/harness-kit (2 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 82 tokens to every session and 570 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
