Contract Author

Tradeoff: Biases toward upfront design over fast iteration. For prototypes, skip contracts and use direct module imports.

When this skill applies

This skill assumes a contract-first multi-agent build model:

• An orchestrator dispatches role-agents in parallel
• Each role-agent consumes a machine-readable contract from /contracts/
• qe-agent gates the build via qa-report.json

For single-agent or ad-hoc work, this skill is not the right tool.

Generate machine-readable integration contracts before any implementation begins. Contracts are the foundation of reliable multi-agent builds — specification problems cause ~42% of multi-agent failures.
