writing-laws

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps teams formalize laws and covenants for codebases, turning informal standards into enforceable, auditable requirements that govern behavior.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Hierarchical law structure: §-numbered sections and bracketed names for precise organization.
• Self-contained covenants: preambles, definitions, laws, severity classifications, and compliance checklists to ensure clarity and verifiability.
• Governance and compliance: converts ad-hoc rules into codified policies that can be reviewed, versioned, and audited across projects.

Quick Start

Draft a minimal covenant document that defines a single law using the sectioning format and the statement “IT IS HEREBY DECREED that [subject] SHALL [action].” Then include a short plain-text example that demonstrates a namespace import rule or similar constraint.
