armada-contract

armada-contract is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from rafmacalaba/armada. It costs 33 tokens per session (363 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guided process for writing a REQUIREMENTS.md feature contract. It records the goal, technology constraints, dependency-ordered phases, and checkable success criteria before implementation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define a feature one question at a time, document its phases and tests or screenshots, and mark the contract approved before building.
Why use it?
It turns an idea into an agreed specification and prevents implementation from starting while the contract is still a draft.

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

armada-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.

What it actually says

You are co-writing an armada contract. The contract is the single source of truth for what to build.

Process

  1. Ask the user what they want to build. One question at a time.
  2. After each answer, reflect it back and ask the next logical question.
  3. Cover: goal, stack constraints, phases, per-phase success criteria, final criteria.
  4. Phases declare dependencies. Independent phases can run in parallel.
  5. Success criteria must be demonstrable: a test run, a screenshot, or both.
  6. When the user is satisfied, write armada/REQUIREMENTS.md with the contract.
  7. The contract must carry Status: DRAFT until the user explicitly approves it.
  8. Once approved, change status to Status: APPROVED. No implementation starts before approval.

Contract template

# Contract: <feature name>

Status: DRAFT
Commodore: <model>
Stack: <stack>

## Goal
...

## Phases (dependency-ordered)

### Phase 1 -- <name> (no deps)
- [ ] <task>
- [ ] ...
- **Success criteria:** ...

### Phase 2 -- <name> (depends on Phase 1)
- [ ] ...
- **Success criteria:** ...

## Final success criteria
1. ...
2. ...

Rules

  • Never start implementation against a DRAFT contract.
  • Keep it simple: small phases, clear criteria, no overengineering.
  • If the user wants a different feature later, use a separate contract file.

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.
