## Definition

A **_contract-style plan_** is a plan written to a high standard of specificity, so that the coding ability of the model depends heavily on how well the plan is written.

A **_contract-style plan_** is a plan written to a high standard of specificity — the quality bar that determines how well the model performs when handed a coding task. In this channel's material, it comes up as the key dependency behind the step change in coding ability observed during Every's three-week internal test of **GPT-5.5**.
