How does Constraint Harvester identify a new constraint?

The skill monitors specific file events, such as changes to YAML configuration files or new entries in architectural review logs, and parses them for values like timeouts, integrations, and performance thresholds.

Does it track where a constraint came from?

Yes, every entry in the register includes a 'Source' field pointing to the specific file or log entry where the constraint was first identified, along with a 'LastSeen' timestamp.

Where is the constraints register stored?

All extracted information is saved to a centralized file located at `logs/brainstorm/constraints-register.md` within your repository.

What categories of constraints does it track?

It automatically categorizes findings into six key areas: Security, Performance, Compliance, Delivery, Team, and Operations.

Automatically extracts and categorizes technical constraints from configuration changes and architectural logs to maintain a live project register.

Constraint Harvester is an automated Claude Code skill designed to ensure that project guardrails and technical limitations are never lost in the shuffle of development. By monitoring YAML configuration files and architectural review logs, the skill identifies implicit and explicit constraints—such as timeouts, budgets, and security thresholds—and centralizes them into a structured markdown register. This automation provides teams with a continuously updated 'Single Source of Truth' for system requirements, helping to prevent architectural drift and improve compliance across the development lifecycle.
