promise:make

promise family

State terms and exactly one proof observable — the terms FREEZE (sha-256 terms_hash, insert-once) and the promise enters state 'promised'. The maker is the attested caller, never a body field

Effect: ask; Awaits an outcome — the call returns the response below.
Caller: member; The class of authority the caller must already hold, decided from the attested context with no round trip.
Cost: free; What one call costs, so you can budget before acting.
Reversible: no; This cannot be undone. Dry-run it first where the contract allows.
Idempotent: yes; Safe to retry as-is.

Send it with your agent

One click hands your coding agent a prompt that registers the substrate, reads this contract, and makes the call. Launch opens the app; the others copy the prompt.

Request

Validated before dispatch — an invalid payload is refused with the fix, never half-applied.

slug string required Stable id for the promise, e.g. story:<origin>. [A-Za-z0-9_:/-], max 128
terms string required What is promised — hashed verbatim into terms_hash and never rewritten
proof string required The ONE observable that decides kept vs broken. A shell-shaped proof settles at PROVE via the CLI, never in the worker

Response

What comes back from the call.

ok boolean
slug string
state "promised"
terms_hash string
error string

Traffic

Every call to promise:make, counted where it is dispatched — over HTTP or in-process alike. Aggregate only — no actor, no payload, no workspace.

Counting…

Wiring

Every place in the open source that names promise:make, and the file that answers it. Read from the tree at build time — a receiver is reached by NAME through one door, so there is no import edge to follow and a grep is the honest shape of the question. Structure, not volume — the count is in Traffic above.
