SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Pre-return constitutional self-critique ensures every agent's draft aligns with the agency constitution before shipping, reducing policy drift and unsafe outputs.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Enforces a two-phase workflow: draft → constitutional check → revise or ship.
  • Integrates with related governance skills (injection-defense, audit, self-knowledge) to ensure consistency and safety.
  • Use Case: before delivering a critical customer-facing reply, run the self-critique to confirm adherence to principles and to log any required revisions.

Quick Start

Trigger the self-critique on the current draft to verify alignment with the frozen principles.

FAQPage Schema
How do I verify policy compliance before returning an AI generated draft?

To verify policy compliance before returning a draft, trigger a self-critique gate that checks the draft against frozen constitutional principles, logging the verdict and revision count to ensure alignment before shipping.

What is a constitutional check in AI policy compliance?

A constitutional check is a pre-return verification mechanism that evaluates draft outputs against frozen principles to prevent policy drift and ensure unsafe or non-compliant responses are corrected before delivery.

How do I audit and revise AI drafts that fail compliance checks?

You audit and revise drafts using a two-phase loop where the draft is checked against constitutional principles, revised if necessary, and escalated after two unsuccessful rounds of failing the self-critique.

Does this self-critique workflow integrate with injection-defense and audit systems?

Yes, the self-critique workflow integrates with related governance skills like injection-defense, audit, and self-knowledge to maintain consistency, safety, and policy compliance across the agent system.

What happens when an output fails constitutional checks after two revision rounds?

When an output fails constitutional checks after two unsuccessful revision rounds, the self-critique mechanism escalates the draft to prevent shipping a non-compliant or unsafe response.
