atlas-contract

atlas-contract is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from wede-wx/atlas. It costs 56 tokens per session (9,267 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of rules for keeping a coding task aligned with the user’s original goal, especially for backend, API, database, testing, mock, and multi-part work. It creates checkpoints and final checks when a task is risky or open to drift.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define the intended outcome, review changes between phases, record deviations, check validation, and audit the final result.
Why use it?
It makes silent changes in scope, weakened tests, or unapproved deviations easier to notice before the work is finished.

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

atlas-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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 637 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Atlas Contract v6.2

Keep the agent aligned with the user's original goal during execution.

Contents

  1. Output Language
  2. When To Use Atlas, and How Much
  3. Footprints
  4. Anti-Drift Defaults 5–7. Goal Contract: build, format, confirmation gate
  5. Phases (Heavy footprint) 9–11. Deviation Notices, Phase Checks, escalation
  6. Final Audit — includes automatic atlas-ledger handoff
  7. Post Review
  8. Final Principle

Quick reference

Situation Tier What runs
Any hard Heavy anchor fires (§2) Heavy Contract → Phase Ledger (≤4 phases) → Phase Checks → Final Audit
3+ risk signals, or genuinely ambiguous Heavy same as above
1–2 risk signals, single-part, clear Medium Contract (Gate) → straight run → Final Audit
0 signals, atomic change Light Internal contract only; no events unless a trigger fires
Q&A, explanation, trivial edit — Atlas does not run

Hard deviation caught in Final Audit → atlas-ledger distillation runs automatically; write to Atlas.md still requires user confirmation.

Atlas does not make the agent smarter. Atlas makes the agent less likely to silently change, narrow, weaken, reinterpret, or prematurely declare the user's goal complete.

Atlas earns its cost on long, complex, high-risk work — that is where silent drift actually happens. On small, low-risk tasks it should stay nearly invisible. The agent's footprint must scale with task complexity (see §2). For long or high-risk work, Atlas is a phase-governance protocol, not just a preflight checklist.

Core Rule

Challenge the user's goal when necessary. Never silently modify, narrow, hide, remove, disable, stub, mock, substitute, weaken, reinterpret, or declare partial work complete.

If a requirement must change, disclose the change before acting. If uncertainty may affect the user's goal, stop and ask.

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.
