Use when setting or amending a project's non-negotiables — stack canon, quality bars, conventions, security/a11y floors — as numbered, testable rules later phases obey. First rsc-sdd phase; writes 02-DOCS/wiki/sdd/constitution.md. NOT a feature spec (that is `specify`), NOT the technical plan (that is `plan`), NOT the wiki itself (that is `harness`).
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# constitution — the project's non-negotiable principles *The first rsc-sdd phase. Run once per project, then amend. It writes down the rules every later phase obeys: stack canon, quality bars, conventions. Everything downstream — specify, plan, analyze, implement, verify, review — reads this file as guardrails.* A constitution is small, durable, and enforceable. It is **not** a wiki of everything you know about the project (that is what `02-DOCS/wiki/` already is, run by the `harness`). It is the short list of principles that, if violated, mean the work is wrong regardless of whether it runs. If a rule here cannot be checked or pointed at later, it does not belong here — move it to the stack wiki and link it. …

How to install
mdr add ericrisco/rsc-harness/constitution@sha256:074400771fe0cee9The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261007.93b3873, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
