Step instructions

identify-deliverable

(main, reasoning)

Agentic step. The agent interviews the user to identify the deliverable. Behavioral instructions (questions to ask, interview flow) are in the slash command, not here.

draft-contract

(main, reasoning)

Agentic step. The agent drafts the contract file using the template at _template.md in the contracts directory (resolved via get_contracts_dir()).

Create a new file in the contracts directory with a descriptive name (e.g., my-project-experiment-1.md, deployment-pipeline.md). The contracts directory is in the Obsidian vault, configured by contracts.vault_path in config.yaml. Behavioral instructions (minimum viable fields, initial status, what to tell the user) are in the slash command, not here.

check-scope

(main, reasoning)

Agentic step. The agent checks for scope issues before finalizing. Behavioral instructions (scope questions, what to challenge) are in the slash command, not here.

review-existing

(main, reasoning)

Agentic step. The agent reviews the new contract against existing active contracts. Behavioral instructions (competition check, branch detection) are in the slash command, not here.

confirm-save

(main, reasoning)

Agentic step. The agent presents the complete contract for user confirmation and saves it. Behavioral instructions (confirmation requirements, status rules) are in the slash command, not here.
