SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill turns informal team rules into clear, enforceable project constitutions so developers and AI agents can follow the same standards for code, docs, and process.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Create policy documents: Draft constitutions for coding standards, documentation policies, testing rules, commit conventions, and team practices.
  • Maintain existing rules: Survey current constitution files, update overlapping guidance, and keep versioned policy documents consistent.
  • Repository-wide governance: Organize constitutions under docs/constitutions/, maintain index pages, and propagate references into AI agent entry points.
  • Use case: A team wants explicit rules for naming, error handling, and documentation style; this Skill produces a structured constitution and wires it into the repo so agents can apply it consistently.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to create or update a project constitution for your repository’s coding and documentation rules.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create enforceable coding standards and documentation policies for my repository?

Project constitutions turn informal team rules into enforceable coding standards and documentation policies. They organize rules under docs/constitutions/ with YAML frontmatter and versioned changelogs to ensure developers and AI agents follow consistent conventions.

How do I maintain overlapping team convention files and keep them consistent across a codebase?

Maintaining overlapping team convention files requires surveying existing constitution documents and updating overlapping guidance. This keeps versioned policy files consistent and prevents conflicting rules across your repository governance structure.

Can I wire coding standards directly into AI agent instruction files?

Yes, you can wire coding standards into AI agent instruction files by propagating consistent references from project constitutions. This ensures AI agents apply team conventions and documentation policies accurately during codebase tasks.

What is the best way to organize repository governance documents for development teams?

The best way to organize repository governance documents is grouping them under a docs/constitutions/ directory while maintaining an index page. This centralizes team conventions and coding standards for easy developer and AI agent access.

Do I need YAML frontmatter and versioned changelogs to manage project constitutions?

Yes, YAML frontmatter and versioned changelogs are required to manage project constitutions effectively. This structure tracks updates to coding standards and team conventions over time, maintaining clear historical context for repository governance.
