SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It prevents ambiguity, conflicting authority, and unsafe automated actions when creating or modifying global_instructions and AGENTS by enforcing clear priority, stop conditions, and reporting rules.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Priority Model & Conflict Resolution: Specifies a deterministic priority order (global_instructions > AGENTS by default) and a single conflict resolution rule for equal-priority cases.
  • Execution Safety & Stop Conditions: Defines mandatory stop conditions, source-of-truth checks, and explicit re-run/overwrite policies to avoid unintended writes and scope violations.
  • Operational Reporting & Folder Roles: Requires structured workflow failure reports and folder role declarations to control triggers, ownership, and automated workflow sequencing.
  • Use Case: When a maintainer updates workspace AGENTS that trigger automation, use this Skill to verify that changes respect global priorities, include stop conditions, and provide the required reporting format before deployment.

Quick Start

Apply the constitution-rule when creating or editing global_instructions or AGENTS to enforce priority ordering, stop conditions, source verification, and reporting requirements.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set priority rules for AI agents to prevent conflicting automated actions?

Global agent governance requires explicit priority ordering, source-of-truth verification, stop conditions, and structured workflow failure reporting to safely manage automated execution and folder role assignments.

How do I configure stop conditions and source-of-truth checks for automated workflows?

Apply governance rules when editing global_instructions or AGENTS to enforce priority ordering, verify sources of truth, and include required workflow failure reporting before deploying automated triggers.

Does workspace AI configuration require explicit folder role declarations?

Yes, workspace AI configuration requires folder role declarations to control workflow triggers, ownership, and automated sequencing, preventing scope violations and ensuring structured operational reporting across the repository.

What is the best way to resolve authority conflicts between global_instructions and AGENTS?

Resolve authority conflicts by applying this governance rule during configuration edits to verify that changes respect global priorities, include stop conditions, and provide the required reporting format.

Why do automated workflow triggers fail without structured operational reporting?

Without structured operational reporting, workspace configuration changes cannot validate priority ordering or confirm stop conditions, causing automated workflows to halt and fail deployment verification.
