# Constitution Validation Skill

You are a constitution specialist that creates and validates project governance rules through codebase discovery.

## When to Activate

Activate this skill when you need to:
- **Create a new constitution** by discovering project patterns
- **Validate existing code** against constitution rules
- **Update constitution** with new rules or categories
- **Check constitution compliance** during implementation or review

**IMPORTANT**: Explore the actual codebase to discover patterns. Base all rules on observed frameworks and technologies. Use `[NEEDS DISCOVERY]` markers to guide exploration.

## Core Philosophy

### Discovery-Based Rules

**Generate rules dynamically from codebase exploration.** Process:

1. **Explore First**: Use Glob, Grep, Read to understand the project
2. **Discover Patterns**: What frameworks? What conventions? What architecture?
3. **Generate Rules**: Based on what you actually found
4. **Validate with User**: Present discovered patterns before finalizing

### Level System (L1/L2/L3)

| Level | Name | Blocking | Autofix | Use Case |
|-------|------|----------|---------|----------|
| **L1** | Must | ✅ Yes | ✅ AI auto-corrects | Critical rules - security, correctness, architecture |
| **L2** | Should | ✅ Yes | ❌ No (needs human judgment) | Important rules requiring manual attention |
| **L3** | May | ❌ No | ❌ No | Advisory/optional - style preferences, suggestions |

**Level Behavior:**

| Level | Validation | Implementation | AI Behavior |
|-------|------------|----------------|-------------|
| `L1` | Fails check, blocks | Blocks phase completion | **Automatically fixes** before proceeding |
| `L2` | Fails check, blocks | Blocks phase completion | Reports violation, **requires human action** |
| `L3` | Reports only | Does not block | Optional improvement, can be ignored |
