# repo_contract
Shared gate: every repo tells an agent how to run and test it, so nobody has to
explore. Enforced like the other shared gates (real gate in `~/src/utils`, a
thin shim per repo, pre-commit + CI).
## The contract
`CLAUDE.md` (or `AGENTS.md` that `CLAUDE.md` symlinks to) has a `## Commands`
section with one line per key, exactly `- <key>: \`<command>\``:
```markdown
## Commands
- run: `<command>` | n/a: library
- test: `<full suite>`
- test-changed: `scripts/test_changed.sh`
- lint: `<command>`
- coverage: `<command writing a report>`
- coverage-gaps: `coverage-gaps <report>`
```
Rules (all machine-checked):
1. All six keys present, once each. A value is a backticked command or
`n/a: <reason>` / `n/a (<reason>)`. A bare `n/a` fails: n/a carries a reason.
2. `test-changed` invokes an existing, executable `scripts/test_changed.sh`-style
script that runs only tests related to files changed vs HEAD, falls back to
the full suite when it cannot map, and prints failures plus a one-line
summary only.
3. `coverage-gaps` runs the shared lister `coverage-gaps <report>`
(`~/src/utils/coverage_gaps`).
4. `test`, `test-changed`, `lint`, `coverage` are quiet: no `-v`/`--verbose`/
expanded reporter, in the command or in the script's runner lines.
5. No placeholders (`<FILL IN>`, `TODO`, `...`).
6. If `test` is n/a, then `test-changed`, `coverage`, `coverage-gaps` are n/a
too, and the repo must contain no tests (bounded scan).
## Use
```bash
python3 ~/src/utils/repo_contract/check.py --repo <path> # 0 pass / 1 violations / 2 unreadable
python3 ~/src/utils/repo_contract/bootstrap.py --repo <path> # print proposal
python3 ~/src/utils/repo_contract/bootstrap.py --repo <path> --write
python3 ~/src/utils/repo_contract/sweep.py # ~/data/claude-scratch/repo-contract/SWEEP.md
```
Bootstrap never overwrites: it appends the section (or inserts missing lines at
the end of an existing `## Commands`), creates `CLAUDE.md -> AGENTS.md` when
only AGENTS.md exists, and writes `scripts/test_changed.sh` only if absent.
Sources, in priority order: existing CLAUDE.md, `scripts/<key>.sh`, Makefile,
package.json (node only), CI workflows, stack defaults. Anything it cannot infer
is written as `<FILL IN>`, which the gate rejects until a human fills it.
## Adding the gate to a repo
1. Copy `templates/check_repo_contract.shim.sh` to `scripts/check_repo_contract.sh`
(never copy `scripts/check_repo_contract.sh` from this repo).
2. Add `templates/pre-commit-snippet.yaml` to `.pre-commit-config.yaml`.
3. Copy `templates/repo-contract.yml` to `.github/workflows/`.
## Tests
```bash
PYTHONPATH=. python -m pytest repo_contract/tests -q --cov=repo_contract --cov-branch --cov-fail-under=100
```
