Artifact Contract Auditor

Purpose: make each workspace auditable and shareable.

This skill checks two contracts:

1. Units contract: if a unit is marked DONE, its required outputs must exist.
2. Pipeline contract: the pipeline’s target_artifacts (from the pipeline spec referenced by PIPELINE.lock.md) should exist for a complete run.

It always writes a report so workspaces can serve as regression baselines.

Inputs

• UNITS.csv
• PIPELINE.lock.md
• Pipeline spec referenced by PIPELINE.lock.md (under pipelines/*.pipeline.md; reads YAML target_artifacts)

Outputs

• output/CONTRACT_REPORT.md

Workflow (analysis-only)

1. Read UNITS.csv and validate DONE outputs

• For every unit with status=DONE, verify each required output exists.
• Outputs prefixed with ? are treated as optional and do not fail the contract.

2. Read PIPELINE.lock.md and validate pipeline target artifacts

• Resolve the pipeline spec under pipelines/*.pipeline.md and load target_artifacts from its YAML front matter.
• Resolve the pipeline spec path and load target_artifacts from its YAML front matter.
• If the pipeline is complete (all units are DONE/SKIP), verify each required target_artifacts file exists.

3. Write output/CONTRACT_REPORT.md (always)

• Include missing DONE outputs (unit-level drift) and missing pipeline targets (pipeline-level completeness drift).

Status semantics

• PASS: pipeline complete (all units DONE/SKIP) AND all required target artifacts exist AND no DONE unit is missing required outputs.
• OK: pipeline incomplete (still running) BUT DONE unit outputs are consistent; missing targets are expected.
• FAIL: at least one DONE unit is missing required outputs OR pipeline is complete but required target artifacts are missing.

How to use this report (self-loop routing)

• If DONE outputs are missing: fix the contract drift (regenerate the missing artifacts, or revert the unit status to TODO/BLOCKED).
• If the pipeline is complete but target artifacts are missing: find which unit/skill owns each missing artifact and rerun that unit.

Script

Quick Start

• python .codex/skills/artifact-contract-auditor/scripts/run.py --workspace workspaces/<ws>

All Options

• --workspace <dir>
• --unit-id <U###> (optional)
• --inputs <semicolon-separated> (unused; runner compatibility)
• --outputs <semicolon-separated> (unused; runner compatibility)
• --checkpoint <C#> (optional)

Examples

• End-of-run audit (recommended before sharing a workspace):
  • python .codex/skills/artifact-contract-auditor/scripts/run.py --workspace workspaces/<ws>
