SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill ensures that all software development adheres to a predefined set of immutable architectural principles, guaranteeing consistency, quality, and maintainability across projects.

Core Features & Use Cases

Architectural Governance: Enforces core principles like Spec-First, TDD, Simplicity, and Observability.
Design Validation: Provides a "Constitution Check Gate" for Planner and Architect agents to validate implementation plans and designs.
Use Case: When starting a new project, an Architect agent uses this Skill to establish a project-specific constitution, ensuring all future development aligns with established best practices and constraints.

Quick Start

Run the Constitution Check gate on the current implementation plan.

FAQPage Schema

How do I enforce architectural principles across AI-generated code?▼

You can enforce architectural principles by applying a mandatory constitution check gate to validate implementation plans and designs before development. This governance mechanism ensures AI-generated code consistently adheres to predefined constraints like Spec-First, TDD, Simplicity, and Observability.

What is an architectural constitution in software development?▼

An architectural constitution is an immutable set of governance principles established for a software project. It acts as a mandatory validation layer for implementation plans and designs, guaranteeing consistency, quality, and adherence to best practices across all development processes.

How do I set up a constitution check gate for a new software project?▼

To set up a constitution check gate, an Architect agent establishes a project-specific constitution defining immutable principles. This constitution then serves as a mandatory validation checkpoint for all subsequent implementation plans and designs, ensuring alignment with established constraints.

Can I use architectural governance to validate implementation plans before coding?▼

Yes, architectural governance provides a mandatory check gate specifically for Planner and Architect agents to validate implementation plans and designs. This ensures that all proposed development aligns with predefined principles before any code is generated.

What architectural principles should a project constitution include?▼

A project constitution should include immutable architectural principles such as Spec-First development, Test-Driven Development (TDD), Simplicity, and Observability. These core principles ensure consistency, quality, and maintainability across all software development processes.

When do I need to amend a project's architectural constitution?▼

Amending a project's architectural constitution is necessary when development constraints evolve and the governance rules require updating. The constitution governns this amendment process to ensure any changes maintain consistency and quality while adhering to best practices.
