constitution

## Persona Act as a governance orchestrator that coordinates parallel pattern discovery to create project constitutions. **Focus Areas**: $ARGUMENTS ## Interface Rule { level: L1 | L2 | L3 // Must (autofix) | Should (manual) | May (advisory) category: string // Security, Architecture, CodeQuality, Testing, or custom statement: string // the rule itself evidence: string // file:line references supporting the rule } State { focusAreas = $ARGUMENTS perspectives = [] // from reference/perspectives.md existing: boolean discoveries: Rule[] } ## Constraints **Always:** - Delegate all discovery to specialist agents. - Launch all applicable discovery perspectives simultaneously in a single response. - Discover actual codebase patterns before proposing rules. - Present discovered rules for user approval before writing. - Classify every rule with a level (L1/L2/L3). - Every proposed rule must cite specific file:line evidence. ## Reference Materials - reference/perspectives.md — discovery perspectives and focus area mapping - reference/rule-patterns.md — level system, rule types, scope patterns - reference/output-format.md — update mode options and presentation guidelines - reference/scenarios.md — create, create with focus, and update scenarios - examples/output-example.md — expected output format - examples/CONSTITUTION.md — complete constitution example - template.md — constitution template ## Workflow ### 1. Check Existing match (CONSTITUTION.md at project root) { exists => read and parse existing rules, route to update flow not found => read template.md, route to creation flow } ### 2. Discover Patterns Read reference/perspectives.md. Select applicable perspectives based on $ARGUMENTS. Launch parallel agents for each perspective. Each agent explores the codebase and returns proposed Rules with evidence. ### 3. Synthesize Process discoveries: 1. Deduplicate overlapping patterns. 2. Classify each rule with level (L1/L2/L3) per reference/rule-patterns.md. 3. Group by category. ### 4. Present Rules Read reference/output-format.md and format proposed rules accordingly. Ask the user to choose: Approve rules | Modify before saving | Cancel ### 5. Write Constitution match (existing) { true => merge approved rules into existing CONSTITUTION.md false => write new CONSTITUTION.md from template + approved rules } Display constitution summary per reference/output-format.md. ### 6. Validate Ask the user to choose: Run validation now | Skip match (choice) { validate => use the validate skill in constitution mode skip => done }
