Skill2 starsChanged 9 days agoNo licenceView on GitHub
Create or amend the project's principles document (its constitution): the non-negotiable rules, quality gates, and governance that design, planning, and verification check against. Fills the template's placeholder tokens, bumps the semantic version by the MAJOR/MINOR/PATCH rules, writes a Sync Impact Report, validates the result, and defers non-governance requests instead of executing them. Use when someone says \"set up our project principles\", \"write a constitution\", \"add a principle\", \"amend the governance rules\", \"we now require X on every change\", \"bump the constitution version\", or asks to propagate amended principles into the project's own templates and guidance docs. Has a short mode for small projects and an opt-in sync mode for dependent templates.

The file
Show its rules and text
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
17 rules. About 0 are common, 14 are distinctive, and 3 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈14
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
3
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
No licence file, so all rights are reserved — read it at the source. We count its rules but don't quote them. Read them on GitHub.
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
