+# Quirk context continuity
+
+Status: candidate contributor guidance. Authority effect: none.
+
+Quirk remains a creative medium, capability ecosystem, and participatory world.
+This repository applies that breadth to **shared contributor instructions and future repository templates**.
+
+Read [the local profile](.quirk/context-profile.json) for its exact contract digest,
+observed base, applicable requirements, and evidence limits. The candidate source is
+[Quirk Core context continuity](https://github.com/Quirk-Systems/quirk-core/blob/codex/context-continuity-20261014/contracts/context-continuity/v0.1/README.md).
+
+## Apply here
+
+- Keep canonical registry authority separate from context selection.
+- Require exact delivery/load/behavior evidence; do not equate a green gate with adoption.
+
+Preserve originals, useful differences, and source lineage. Untried means unknown
+in value, not unsuccessful. Scope preferences and honor withdrawal or task-specific
+bypass. Explain material selection and omissions without exposing private metadata.
+Measure actual correction effort and interruptions only when voluntarily reported.
+
+## Inherit and verify
+
+Features, modules, components, files, styles, and documentation inherit this profile
+when relevant. Declare a local difference only when behavior, audience, or permissions
+actually differ. Inspect source revisions at task start and resume. Keep finished
+works historical; add successors or linked corrections. Do not recursively overwrite
+local instructions or creative source material.
+
+A file or profile does not prove a host loaded it. Record authored, delivered, loaded,
+behavior-tested, admitted, and deployed separately. No scheduler, service connection,
+or production adoption is installed by these files. Evaluate the acceptance cases
+on the affected application before claiming runtime compliance. Roll back this candidate
+profile independently while preserving source history and live withdrawals.
