# Fromzero

## Contract

| Field | Bound contract |
|---|---|
| Trigger | The user wants to replace a greenfield attempt with a clean pad carrying only proven requirements. |
| Authority | Human-gated: requires explicit human invocation before acting; otherwise reversible local: writes only VCS-tracked targets (show the exact set before mutation); rollback is version control. No remote mutation. |
| Side effect | A new greenfield attempt on a clean pad; the old attempt remains recoverable through VCS. |
| Done | A new greenfield attempt exists carrying only verified requirement statements, and the old attempt is reachable in VCS history. |

## Not for

- Rebuilding a design from primitives: use from-first-principle.
