Load-bearing design decisions for this repo as a contract you check before changing anything. Covers the asymmetric generation seam, source-of-truth per tree, hook runtime failure policy, memory tiers, plugin surfaces, invariants, and known-weak points. Use when you say `which tree is canonical`, `architecture contract`, `why is this designed this way`. Do NOT use for operating the build pipeline (use `ai-agents-generation-and-release`) or CI triage (use `ai-agents-debugging-playbook`).

<!-- vendor-portability: contributor-facing knowledge pack for the rjmurillo/ai-agents repo itself; intentionally references upstream paths (.agents/, .claude/, scripts/, build/) because its audience is repo contributors, not plugin consumers (issue #2050) --> This skill is the map of design decisions that hold this repository up: what is canonical, what is generated, which invariants are enforced by gates, and where the structure is honestly weak. Read it before any change that touches more than one tree, any hook, any plugin surface, or any generated file. The repo's governance is…

What this skill does

AI Agents Architecture Contract is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the ml-ai-eng sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/ai-agents-architecture-contract/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use when you say `which tree is canonical`, `architecture contract`, `why is this designed this way`. Do NOT use for operating the build pipeline (use `ai-agents-generation-and-release`) or CI triage (use `ai-agents-debugging-playbook`).
