[One line: what this contract is the single source of truth for, and who consumes it.]
When this applies
[The exact condition under which a reader must follow this contract — a file kind being
edited, an agent being dispatched, a schema being exchanged. A contract has no steps, so
this replaces the workflow: it says when the rules bind, not what order to do things in.]
[Rule group]
[Rules, invariants, schemas, or canonical invocations. Each group is one coherent topic.
State the rule, then the reason it exists. Show the shape a reader must produce or accept.]

It is read, not run. It has no49preconditions, no ordered steps, no approval gate, and no final report — so `## Workflow`,50`## Final Report`, and `## Never` do not apply, and `/audit` skips those checks for this51genre.5253Declare the genre in the description with the exact phrase54`not a user-facing workflow`. That phrase is what routes `/audit` to this template.5556Choose the workflow template instead whenever the skill performs ordered actions, gates a57mutation, dispatches subagents, or reports a result. A skill that does anything is a58workflow, however short.5960Existing contracts in this marketplace:6162- `subroutine/skills/*` — ambient implementation disciplines injected by a hook63-->
