File contents

/workflow-intake — manual contract authoring (optional)

For full automation, just use /workflow-feature — it authors the contract itself. Use /workflow-intake when you want manual control of the contract before any code runs.

READ ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/harness/HARNESS.md and ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/harness/CONTRACT.md first.

Actions (in order)

Run git status --short. Do NOT touch existing uncommitted changes.
Do minimal READ-ONLY probing of the files the request names.
Copy ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/harness/CONTRACT.md to .claude/harness/contracts/<slug>.md.
Fill every section from the user's words. If ambiguous, ASK (AskUserQuestion) — do not guess. Acceptance checks must be EXACT runnable commands.
Show the user the contract + open questions/assumptions. Adjust until they confirm.

Output

.claude/harness/contracts/<slug>.md.

Stop condition

You MUST NOT edit code or run non-read-only commands.
Once confirmed, tell the user to run /workflow-feature with contractPath set to this contract.
