The PM-side readiness gate — "airport security for PRDs." A PM (or anyone) gives a PRD as any source — JIRA / Linear / Notion / Confluence / Google Doc / Slack link / GitHub issue / Figma URL, pasted text, an image, or a plain description — and the agent scores it against the Definition of Ready, surfaces the blockers the PM can fix themselves in plain language, and (when ready) mints a tamper-evident gate code + a clean hand-off for dev. Runs identically in Claude Code and Cowork. Use when the user says "ready check", "is this PRD ready", "check my PRD before dev", "gate this requirement", or invokes `/ready-check <source>` / `/ready <source>`. This is Level 1; the dev-side deep pass is `/contract pickup`.
Turn a Large contract into a dependency-ordered sequence of Small/Medium child contracts, with risky parts (migrations, auth) flagged as human-led. Use when a contract is sized Large and the user says "decompose", "break this down", "split this epic", or invokes `/contract decompose <ID>`. Large isn't refused — it's made tractable.
Author a new Manifest contract from a rough idea, a one-liner, OR a link to an existing source of truth — JIRA ticket, Linear issue, Notion page, Confluence doc, GitHub issue, or Figma file. Use when the user says "new contract", "draft PRD", "spec out a feature", "pull contract from this JIRA ticket", or invokes `/contract new` with either prose or a URL. Pre-fills as much of the contract as possible from the source, then asks the user only what's still missing.
The canonical Spec entry for Manifest. Dev gives any source — JIRA / Linear / Notion / Confluence / Google Doc / Slack message / GitHub issue / Figma URL, pasted text, an image, or a free-form description — and the agent does the code archaeology, drafts the contract, runs the critics + a Figma design audit inline, and sorts every gap into three buckets (auto-fill from code, dev decides, PM must answer). PM stays in their normal tool (JIRA comment, Slack DM); they never have to touch Manifest. Use when the user says "pick up this PRD", "start on this ticket", "spec out this feature", "I got a doc from PM", or invokes `/contract pickup <source>` / `/pickup <source>`. Replaces the older `/contract new` → `/contract verify` two-step flow with a single conversational pass.
Freeze a verified contract into an immutable revision and start the SLA timer. Use when the user says "promote contract", "ship this PRD", "start the pipeline", or invokes `/contract promote <ID>`. Creates a JIRA epic, opens a tracking issue, kicks off implementation.
Implement a promoted contract — write code in the target repo's stack, generate tests in that stack's idiom, iterate until they pass, open the PR. Also runs in fix-mode (review→fix loop) to address open PR-review/verify-pr findings on an existing PR. Stack-agnostic: works for web (React/Next/Vue/...), mobile (Flutter/Swift/Kotlin/RN), and backend (Node/Python/Go/...). Use when the user says "implement contract", or in CI when a PR comment matches `@claude /implement <ID>` or `@claude /fix-pr <ID>`.
Show the current status of a contract (or all in-flight contracts) right in the CLI — phase, SLA time-left (IST + UTC), readiness, and the next action. Use when the user says "status", "where are we", "what's in flight", "time left", or invokes `/status [<ID>]`.
Review a PR diff for code-level defects — security, correctness, performance, and maintainability — and post a severity-tagged review comment. Runs at the PR stage AFTER implementation, complementing verify-pr (which checks contract/AC conformance). Invoked by /code-review or the pr-verify.yml workflow. Stack-agnostic.
