# For agents: A readable agreement

The ideal OpenProse · board 3 of 17 · 2026-10-09.
This deck describes a proposed experience.

People and agents read the same Markdown agreement, including any required procedures.

## On the slide

```markdown
# Model documentation

Explain the selected model, its assumptions,
and its limitations.
Support material claims with evidence.
Require independent review before release.
```

## Explanation

A contract states requirements and the context needed to apply them. Markdown gives people and agents an ordinary shared document: something they can read, discuss, edit, and version. The example is deliberately small. An actual invocation would identify the model revision, evidence, review criteria, and authorized output. There is no compulsory heading template. Declarative work also permits required procedures. If independent review matters, the executor cannot remove it merely because another method seems faster. The freedom lies in choices the agreement leaves open.
