# DeepSeek Harness Prose Standard
Write enough to preserve the contract, then remove reasoning transcripts, repetition, and decoration. A contract is an obligation, invariant, precondition, postcondition, or compatibility promise that a caller, callee, implementer, producer, or consumer relies on. This skill owns editorial judgment and required prose coverage; use [dsh-doc-standards](../dsh-doc-standards/SKILL.md) for placement, budgets, bilingual pairs, and documentation gates, and [dsh-trim-cot-leakage](../dsh-trim-cot-leakage/SKILL.md) for hunting and fixing reasoning-transcript leakage. It is guidance, not a script.
Treat `contract`, `boundary`, `shape`, `surface`, `seam`, `gate`, and `vocabulary` as terms to check before use, not banned words. First ask whether the exact rule, API, field set, type, validation, timing point, component split, or failure states the fact better. Keep a term when it names the exact technical subject, including caller/callee contracts and security/process boundaries.
Comments describe non-obvious contracts or rationale that code cannot express; they do not restate what code already implies.
## Inputs and exclusions
Require an explicit `scope`. If it is missing, report the required input and stop; do not infer a repository-wide scope or begin an interview.
Accept `mode: automatic | interactive`; default to `automatic`. Enter interactive mode only when the user explicitly requests questions or calibration.
`mode` controls questions, not w
