Can I use this on existing projects?

Yes, the skill can scan existing repositories to codify current practices or update an existing constitution with new focus areas like security or testing.

Does it require manual approval?

Yes, the skill always presents discovered rules and their supporting evidence for user approval before writing or updating any files.

What is a Project Constitution?

A Project Constitution is a specialized document (CONSTITUTION.md) that defines the governance rules, architectural patterns, and quality standards specific to your codebase.

What do the L1, L2, and L3 levels mean?

Rules are categorized by severity: L1 rules are mandatory (often autofixed), L2 rules are recommended (manual check required), and L3 rules are advisory (best practice suggestions).

How does the discovery-based approach work?

The skill launches parallel agents to scan your codebase for existing patterns and evidence before proposing any rules, ensuring they are project-specific rather than generic.

生産性とワークフロー

Generates and maintains project governance rules by discovering specific coding patterns and architectural standards within your codebase.

The Project Constitution skill acts as a governance orchestrator for Claude Code, allowing developers to establish and maintain a CONSTITUTION.md file that defines project-specific rules. Unlike generic linting tools, it uses a discovery-based approach, launching parallel agents to analyze your actual codebase for patterns in security, architecture, and code quality. Every proposed rule is categorized by severity—ranging from mandatory L1 autofixes to L3 advisory notes—and is backed by specific file-and-line evidence, ensuring that project standards are rooted in reality rather than generic assumptions.
