constitute skillA
constitute is agent-read markdown (skill) from papadopouloskyriakos/agentic-chatops: Phase C of greenfield project bootstrap. Produce constitution.md (5-15 non-negotiable articles) + steering/*.md (cross-cutting agent-wide rules). Pauses for operator review before exit..
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.
What the file says
# /constitute — define non-negotiables + cross-cutting rules
After `/specify` produced PROJECT.md + requirements.md, the project needs:
1. `constitution.md` — 5-15 articles of non-negotiable principles
2. `steering/{coding-standards,security-baseline,test-strategy,repo-conventions}.md` — cross-cutting rules every Claude session loads
## Constitution authoring
Start from `<bootstrap-pack>/templates/constitution.md.tmpl` (7 default articles cover test-first, library-first, contract-before-code, bounded-context isolation, atomic tasks, files-owned non-overlap, one-MR-per-feature).
Add 0-8 project-specific articles based on the operator's domain. Examples:
- Performance budget (e.g. all endpoints <500ms p99)
- Security baseline (e.g. all PRs scanned, high-severity blocks merge)
- Privacy (e.g. no PII in logs, encrypted at rest)
- Compliance (e.g. SOC2 type II controls, GDPR data subject rights)
- Operational (e.g. zero-downtime deploys, automated rollback)
Use **AskUserQuestion** to elicit these — most projects have 2-3 worth adding.
