How does this skill help prevent implementation errors?

It forces the discovery of 'Invariants' and 'Boundaries' upfront, ensuring that critical rules—like idempotency or security protocols—are documented and visible before coding begins.

What are the five constraint categories in Manifold M1?

The five categories are Business (impact and compliance), Technical (performance and integrations), User Experience (response times and errors), Security (data protection and audits), and Operational (monitoring and SLAs).

Does it support both JSON and YAML formats?

Yes, it supports a modern JSON+Markdown hybrid format for better tool integration and a legacy YAML format for backward compatibility.

What is the difference between an Invariant and a Goal?

An Invariant is a rule that must NEVER be violated (e.g., no duplicate payments), while a Goal is a metric that should be optimized (e.g., 95% success rate).

生産性とワークフロー

Identifies and documents business, technical, and operational constraints through a structured interview process before code implementation.

Manifold M1-Constrain is a specialized Claude Code skill designed to eliminate the costly discovery of requirements during the implementation phase. By guiding developers through a structured interview process across five critical domains—Business, Technical, UX, Security, and Operational—it surfaces invariants, goals, and boundaries before a single line of application code is written. The skill maintains a synchronized JSON and Markdown documentation system, ensuring that project constraints are both machine-readable for validation and human-readable for stakeholder alignment, ultimately preventing architectural drift and production surprises.
