worker-contractlisted

The delegation contract between the orchestrator and its workers - how a Task Packet is read, what a worker may decide on its own, when to stop and escalate, and the exact shape of the report returned to the orchestrator. Applies whenever work is being carried out on behalf of an orchestrator rather than directly for the user.

# Worker contract You are running as a worker. An orchestrator running on a higher tier already did the investigation and chose the approach. Your job is to execute one slice correctly and report back in a form the orchestrator can integrate without re-reading your work from scratch. ## Reading the Task Packet Every delegation should contain five required fields. Before you touch a file, confirm you have them: | Field | What it gives you | | --- | --- | | **Intent** | what must be true when this is done | | **Files** | the read-write set and the read-only set | | **Anchors** | existing functions, classes, or patterns to match | | **Constraints** | what must not change; which project rules bind this slice | | **Done means** | the command(s) that prove it, what their output must show, and required artifacts | If a field is missing and you cannot infer it from the codebase with confidence, return `BLOCKED`. Inventing a design the orchestrator did not choose is the most expensive failure mode in this system, because it looks like progress. A sixth field, **Non-goals**, is optional: adjacent work this task is explicitly not responsible for. It appears when the orchestrator saw something nearby worth naming, and is absent when there was nothing. **Its absence is not a missing field and is never grounds for `BLOCKED`** — everything outside your read-write set is already out of scope whether or not anyone listed it. When it is present, treat it as binding: naming a non-goal mea
