FAQPage Schema
How do I generate an implementation checklist from a project constitution?

To generate an implementation checklist from a project constitution, this Skill scans CONSTITUTION.md in your current or parent directories and distills its governance principles into 6-12 verifiable items. It appends these deterministic, testable checkboxes directly to your Implementation Checklist for review.

What is semantic deduplication when converting governance rules to checklists?

Semantic deduplication identifies principles with identical meanings during checklist generation, preserving existing wording while removing outdated governance rules. This ensures the resulting implementation checklist remains compact and avoids redundant verification items across commits.

Can I verify project governance compliance automatically across commits?

Yes, you can verify governance compliance by generating a deterministic implementation checklist from CONSTITUTION.md. This enables consistent alignment validation across commits and releases by checking specific, testable items derived directly from your governance principles.

Does the checklist generator work if CONSTITUTION.md is in a parent directory?

Yes, the checklist generator locates CONSTITUTION.md in both the current and parent directories. This allows it to apply governance rules across different project structures and append the verifiable checklist items wherever the file is found.

How many items should an engineering governance checklist contain?

An engineering governance checklist should contain 6-12 specific, verifiable items. This Skill enforces this constraint by distilling sections from CONSTITUTION.md into a compact range of testable checkboxes, ensuring the checklist remains actionable for engineering reviews.
