SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Constitution Enforcer safeguards software governance by ensuring pre-implementation gates (Phase -1) are completed and aligned with the 9 Constitutional Articles, preventing governance violations before coding begins.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Phase -1 Gates: Automatically evaluates Simplicitiy, Anti-Abstraction, Integration-First, EARS, Traceability, Steering Alignment, Library-First, CLI Interface readiness, and Test-First discipline.
  • Violation Detection & Remediation: Scans artifacts to detect governance violations and proposes actionable remediation plans.
  • Traceability & Memory: Verifies cross-linkage among requirements, design, tasks, code, tests, and steering guidelines.

Quick Start

To run the Constitution Enforcer on a project, invoke it via its built-in workflow, passing the repository path and steering references as needed.

FAQPage Schema
How do I enforce governance gates before coding starts?▼

You enforce governance gates before coding by validating Phase -1 artifacts against the 9 Constitutional Articles. The enforcer checks requirements, design, code, and tests to detect violations and generate remediation plans automatically.

What is traceability validation in software governance compliance?▼

Traceability validation in software compliance verifies cross-linkage among requirements, design, tasks, code, tests, and steering guidelines. It operates autonomously using enforcer rules to detect governance gaps and ensure alignment before implementation.

How do I detect constitutional violations in repository artifacts?▼

You detect constitutional violations by scanning repository artifacts like requirements, design, code, and tests. The enforcer validates Phase -1 gates against the 9 Constitutional Articles and produces a compliance report with actionable remediation plans.

What are Phase -1 gates in software governance?▼

Phase -1 gates in software governance are pre-implementation checks evaluating Simplicity, Anti-Abstraction, Integration-First, EARS, Traceability, Steering Alignment, Library-First, CLI Interface readiness, and Test-First discipline before coding begins.

Can I run automated compliance checks without external data sources?▼

Yes, you can run automated compliance checks without external data sources. The enforcer operates autonomously using internal enforcer rules and steering references to validate Phase -1 gates and generate remediation plans.

When should I use automated governance violation detection?▼

You should use automated governance violation detection during pre-implementation to safeguard software governance. It ensures Phase -1 gates are completed and aligned with the 9 Constitutional Articles, preventing violations before coding begins.
