Choose a spell of 5th level or lower that you can cast, that has a casting time of 1 action, and that can target you. You cast that spell—called the contingent spell—as part of castingcontingency, expending spell slots for both, but the contingent spell doesn’t come into effect. Instead, it takes effect when a certain circumstance occurs. You describe that circumstance when you cast the two spells. For example, acontingencycast withwater breathingmight stipulate thatwater breathingcomes into effect when you are engulfed in water or a similar liquid.

The contingent spell takes effect immediately after the circumstance is met for the first time, whether or not you want it to, and thencontingencyends.

The contingent spell takes effect only on you, even if it can normally target others. You can use only onecontingencyspell at a time. If you cast this spell again, the effect of anothercontingencyspell on you ends. Also,contingencyends on you if its material component is ever not on your person.
