Activation Contract
Load this skill when: user mentions pending, tech-debt, TODO, pendiente, deuda técnica, or asks about pending tasks. Normalizes Engram task tracking..
Before executing substantive work, read references/full-contract.md when it exists and the task needs details beyond this compact contract.
Hard Rules
- Preserve the original contract details in
references/full-contract.md; do not replace them with generic assumptions.
- Keep the skill scope narrow: apply this skill only to the surface named in the description and reference.
- Escalate before changing product, architecture, persistence, security, or SDD phase semantics not explicitly covered.
- Do not use external URLs as primary authority; use local references and repo evidence.
Decision Gates
| If | Then |
|---|
| The task is a small/read-only check | Use this compact contract and inspect only needed local files. |
| The task changes behavior or architecture | Read references/full-contract.md before planning or editing. |
| The task crosses another skill boundary | Load the more specific related skill or ask before proceeding. |
| Required evidence is missing | Stop and report the missing evidence instead of inventing rules. |
Execution Steps
- Confirm the touched surface and whether
references/full-contract.md is needed.
- Apply hard rules and any detailed local reference rules before editing.
- Use the narrowest validation path available for the touched surface.
- Record evidence: files inspected, rules applied, validations run, and unresolved risks.
Output Contract
Return:
- Skill applied:
engram-pending-tasks.
- Scope/surface handled.
- Whether
references/full-contract.md was read.
- Hard rules and decision gates used.
- Validation or evidence collected, or why it could not be collected.
- Open risks, blockers, or follow-up actions.
