create-contract

create-contract is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from owrede/vault-memory. It costs 235 tokens per session (2,904 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An interactive guide for turning a recurring research or note-gathering need into a saved YAML task contract. The contract is a repeatable recipe for collecting information and compiling it into the vault’s memory area.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define repeatable research workflows, such as preparing board-meeting notes, onboarding dossiers, or risk summaries.
Why use it?
It removes the need to redesign the same search and knowledge-assembly process every time the question changes slightly.

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

create-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 1mo 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.

/create-contract — Author a task contract from intent

This skill takes a free-language description of a recurring search/assembly need and walks it to a validated YAML contract written to the vault's _contracts/ directory. It is the interactive intent → design bridge.

It is the sibling of use-contracts: that skill runs existing contracts; this one authors new ones. The full DSL reference, the closed verb enum, the chaining rule, the onboarding gotchas, and a minimal runnable example all live in docs/v2/plugin/AUTHORING-CONTRACTS.md — lean on that document, do not restate it here. This skill is the conversation that turns intent into a contract that follows it.

When to invoke

Proactively, when the user reveals a recurring knowledge-assembly need:

  • "I keep pulling the same notes together before every board meeting."
  • "Every time someone joins a project I rebuild the same onboarding dossier."
  • "We keep searching for the same risk notes across projects."
  • German: "Ich stelle ständig dieselbe Frage zu …", "Wir suchen immer wieder nach …".

The tell is repetition of a question's shape, with one moving part. A one-off ("summarize this single note") is just search_hybrid — not a contract.

Explicitly, when the user says /create-contract, "create / design / author / build a contract", "neuen Contract erstellen", "Contract entwerfen / bauen".

For discovery, when the user asks "what should I turn into a contract?" or when use-contracts recently logged no-match gaps (see Discovery mode below).

Contrast with use-contracts: if the user wants to run a recipe that already exists, that's use-contracts, not this skill.

Requirements

  • mcp__vault-memory__* tools available in the session
  • At least one vault registered; contracts live under _contracts/*.yaml and are hot-reloaded by the server (startContractRegistry)
