Abstract: The contract-style-comments (CSC) methodology has matured from a function-level annotation practice into a deployable governance scaffold. The official CSC GitHub Template encodes the Agentic Trivium — CONTRACT.md, WHY.md, and QUICKSTART.md — as the structural foundation of every new project, providing a deterministic cold-start protocol for stateless AI agents. This guide defines the template's architecture and presents a formal implementation protocol for human developers and AI agents alike. Jeffrey Sabarese ( @ajaxstardust ) Part VI of the contract-style-comments Series The CONTRACT‑Style‑Comments (CSC) methodology began as a way to prevent architectural drift — first for me, then for the AI agents I work with. Today, CSC has evolved into a portable governance scaffold that any developer or AI agent can use to start a new project with clear constraints, explicit invariants, and a shared understanding of the system's rules.…
