charter

A command for managing a project charter, the document that defines a project's purpose, boundaries, and guiding decisions. It can create, import, find, approve, or skip that baseline.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create or import a charter, discover candidate charter files, approve the charter as a baseline, or deliberately skip it while keeping technical scanning available.
Why use it?
It gives the project a clear agreed reference before judging requests or making changes. It also records whether the charter came from a template, an existing file, discovery, approval, or an explicit decision to skip it.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

charter scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to pm-charter — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

User Input

$ARGUMENTS

Subcommands: create | import <path> | discover | approve | skip.

Outline

If $ARGUMENTS is empty, do not guess a subcommand. Show this Chinese wizard and wait:

宪章还没选定动作。请回复其一:
- create — 按模板起草宪章(仍是草稿,须再 approve)
- import <路径> — 从已有文件导入
- discover — 扫描 charter_candidates(优先 Spec Kit)
- approve — 把宪章升为基线(若 PRD 仍是草稿,同时 confirm)
- skip — 不要宪章基线;技术扫描仍可用

Then:

  1. discover: rescan charter_candidates (Spec Kit constitution first); map into .pm/charter/; update sources.md.
  2. import: parse given path into charter files; source=imported.
  3. create: interactive fill from templates.
  4. approve: charter.status=approved. If .pm/prd/prd.md is draft, also set prd.status=confirmed (same as /pm-init confirm).
  5. skip: charter.status=absent. If the user is skipping the generated PRD, set prd.status=skipped. Do not use skipped/draft charter to judge whether a demand is “reasonable”.
  6. Any write → needs_recompare=true.
  7. Prefer /pm-init for first-time Spec Kit detection and PRD draft. This command is the charter lifecycle after that.
  8. approve is the only path that makes the charter a baseline. Technical /pm-all does not require approve.

Shared Workflow (all /pm-* commands)

  1. Read config; map-first; redact; confirm before landing generated docs.
  2. Append audit. Closing: _closing.md 完整档(只列已有路径)。

Design baseline: docs/prd.md + 宪章。

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
