How it works

open-prose

When your agent uses it

Activate when the user types `prose ...`, opens a `.prose.md` file with `kind:` frontmatter, opens a `.prose` file, or asks for reusable multi-agent orchestration. Treat `prose run ...` as an in-session instruction: embody the OpenProse VM yourself; do not shell out to a `prose` binary. On activation read the Markdown contract, select a state backend, wire responsibilities, execute with host primitives, and persist run state under the selected OpenProse root. Decline for one-shot questions — a plain prompt is often the right answer.

# OpenProse Skill

Contract authoring is expressing intent by composing requirements. An agent
performs the work, and an evaluator assesses whether the contract’s requirements
are satisfied. Reuse and combine contracts through the interfaces in this skill; see [requirements and composition](guidance/authoring.md#requirements-and-composition).

OpenProse has five load-bearing pieces:

| Piece | File | Role |
|-------|------|------|
| **Contract Markdown** | `contract-markdown.md` | Human-readable `*.prose.md` source format |
| **Forme** | `forme.md` | Semantic dependency-injection container that wires contracts |
| **Prose VM** | `prose.md` | Execution engine that runs responsibilities, functions, and pinned execution blocks |
| **ProseScript** | `prosescript.md` | Imperative scripting layer for `### Execution` blocks and pattern delegation |
