Project constitution

Draft or amend a project's constitution - a set of non-negotiable principles that govern how the project is specified, planned, built and reviewed. The constitution lives as a top-level section inside the project's CLAUDE.md file at the repository root, so it is loaded automatically into every Claude Code session for the project.

When to use

• Bootstrapping a new project that has no constitution yet.
• Amending an existing ## Constitution section in CLAUDE.md.
• The user wants a single source of truth for project principles, separate from general coding guidance.

Workflow

1. Examine the project
