name	constitution
description	Must use this skill when user triggers /ezfl:constitution or /openspec:constitution, or requests creation / amendment / viewing of the project constitution. Manages CREATE / AMEND / SHOW modes for openspec/memory/constitution.md.

constitution

Forbidden to modify constitution.md without entering explicit CREATE / AMEND mode (no silent editing). Forbidden to mark a Core Principle as (NON-NEGOTIABLE) without explicit user confirmation. The constitution drives downstream injection points A/B/C/D; any change propagates downstream.

Must output on startup: [easy-flow] entering phase: constitution — using easy-flow:constitution skill.

Overview

Constitution management skill. Three modes: CREATE / AMEND / SHOW. Fully aligned with the openspec-integrated-superpowers constitution framework (no changes), only path migration and Law #4 hook upgrade.

Three Modes

Detection Condition	Mode
constitution.md does not exist	CREATE
Exists but contains [ALL_CAPS_PLACEHOLDER]	CREATE
Exists without placeholders	AMEND
User passes show	SHOW

Policies

Policy	File	Purpose
CREATE	./policies/constitution-create.md	Guide user through filling in the template
AMEND	./policies/constitution-amend.md	Amendment flow + versioning + Sync Impact Report
Injection	./policies/constitution-injection.md	Specific logic for the four injection points (A/B/C/D)

Validity Determination (Law #4 upgraded to MACHINE_VERIFIED)

Script resides within the plugin, located via .harness/.cache/.plugin_root (written by SessionStart); if missing, treat as "does not exist" and prompt to restart session.

PLUGIN_ROOT="$(cat .harness/.cache/.plugin_root)"
bash "$PLUGIN_ROOT/hooks/constitution-validity.sh"
# Exit codes: 0=valid / 1=invalid (contains unreplaced placeholders) / 2=does not exist

Configuration

[constitution]
required = false  # when true, projects without a valid generated constitution block propose/apply
path = "openspec/memory/constitution.md"
