name: signum description: Use when the user wants contract-first development — define correctness before coding, implement against a contract, audit with multiple models, and package proof artifacts.

Signum — Evidence-Driven Development Pipeline

Run a CONTRACT → EXECUTE → AUDIT → PACK pipeline for any implementation task.

When to Use

• User asks to "implement X" and you want verifiable correctness
• Task requires multi-model code review
• Changes need proof artifacts for CI/CD gates
• Risk is medium-high and ad hoc coding is insufficient

Pipeline

1. CONTRACT — Turn the request into a verifiable contract with acceptance criteria
2. EXECUTE — Implement against the contract, not a vague prompt
3. AUDIT — Deterministic checks (lint, test, scope) + optional multi-model review
4. PACK — Package into a proofpack artifact with verdict (AUTO_OK / HUMAN_REVIEW / AUTO_BLOCK)

Core Rules

• Do not start implementation before a contract exists
• If the contract is vague, stop and improve it
• Check against deterministic criteria, not just model opinion
• Keep active run/pipeline artifacts under .signum/contracts/<contractId>/
• Treat root .signum/ as the registry/state/archive/compatibility namespace, not the canonical per-run artifact root
• If reduced audit coverage on medium/high-risk task → HUMAN_REVIEW, not AUTO_OK
