contract

contract is a skill for Claude Code from ondrej-svec/heart-of-gold-toolkit. It costs 73 tokens per session (1,329 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A small manager for evidence contracts used to track what a development task must prove. It can display contracts, list them, or mark the active one complete or abandoned.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect the active contract, view all contracts, finish a completed contract, or abandon one that is no longer being pursued.
Why use it?
It gives reviewers and automated checks a clear record of which claims a task is expected to support. It prevents changing the task's evidence requirements mid-work.

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 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 11d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 125 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Contract (review / manage evidence contracts)

A small, deliberate management surface for the per-task evidence contracts written by /quellis-architect:plan and consulted by the Stop hook. Reads by default; writes only on explicit subcommands. Authoring new contracts and editing claim shapes is /quellis-architect:plan's job — this skill exists for lifecycle bookkeeping.

Boundaries

This skill MAY: read .quellis/contracts/ files, print contract content, flip status to completed or abandoned on explicit subcommand, delete .quellis/contracts/active.toml when the active contract closes. This skill MAY NOT: edit claim shapes, add or remove [[claim]] blocks, rewrite the pointer to a different task without an activate subcommand (not in V1.1), edit code, run tests.

To change what a contract claims, run /quellis-architect:plan again with the same brainstorm. That rewrites the contract cleanly. Mid-flight claim edits drift from the substrate V1.2 personalization compounds.

Common Rationalizations

Shortcut Why it fails The cost
"Just edit claim_regex inline to make the gate pass" The gate exists because the unrefined claim is dangerous. Tweaking the regex is laundering. Silent regression on the next agent that inherits the lying contract.
"Mark abandoned to avoid the complete-prompt friction" abandoned is for tasks dropped without finishing. Marking abandoned to skip evidence buries the trail. Lost compounding signal for V1.2.
"Skip showing the contract — the user knows what's active" Memory drifts across sessions. A 30-second show is cheap insurance against the user assuming a stale contract. Stop fires on something the user didn't realize was still active.

Phase 0: Detect the subcommand

Entry: user invoked /quellis-architect:contract [subcommand] [args].

Subcommands:

Subcommand Args Action
show (default if no arg) none Print the active contract; if none, say so.
list none Print every contract in .quellis/contracts/, marking which is active and each one's status.
complete none Mark the active contract status = "completed". Clear active.toml. Asks once to confirm.
abandon none Mark the active contract status = "abandoned". Clear active.toml. Asks once to confirm.

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.

contract is a skill published in the GitHub repository ondrej-svec/heart-of-gold-toolkit (19 stars, last pushed 22d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 73 tokens to every session and 1,329 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-30.
