 Admins can also grant a tracker compass directly with `/souls tracker give <player> <target>`. This uses the same tracker data and duration as the kill-granted version.
 
+### Contracts
+
+Contracts let players earn souls without PvP by completing mining and hunting goals.
+
+Behavior:
+
+- Players pick one active contract at a time.
+- Mining contracts track block breaks against a configured block id.
+- Hunting contracts track kills against a configured entity id.
+- The selected contract and its progress appear in the HUD sidebar.
+- Completing a contract pays souls automatically.
+- The contract browser uses `catalog.yml`, where the YAML key is the internal contract id and `name` is the player-facing label.
