+
+# Data Contract Framework Skill
+
+## When to Use
+- Establishing ownership and SLAs for mission-critical BI tables.
+- Coordinating schema changes between engineering, analytics, and RevOps.
+- Auditing data reliability before major launches or executive reporting cycles.
+
+## Framework
+1. **Contract Scope** – table/view name, business purpose, consumer list.
+2. **Owner Matrix** – technical owner, business owner, escalation contacts.
+3. **SLA Definition** – refresh cadence, acceptable latency, data quality thresholds.
+4. **Change Workflow** – approval steps, testing requirements, communication plan.
+5. **Compliance & Audit** – logging, version history, and retention requirements.
+
+## Templates
+- Data contract one-pager (scope, owners, SLAs, dependencies).
+- Change request form with impact assessment.
+- Audit checklist for quarterly reviews.
+
+## Tips
+- Keep contracts lightweight but enforceable—link to dbt/docs for deeper detail.
+- Automate SLA checks via dashboards and alerting.
+- Pair with `audit-data-contracts` to prioritize fixes and highlight risk.
