team-constitution

team-constitution is a skill for Claude Code from tikalk/adlc-team-skills. It costs 44 tokens per session (3,085 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An interactive tool for creating or changing a team's constitution, meaning its shared principles for AI-assisted work. It stores those principles in the team's directives repository.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when starting team-wide AI rules or amending existing ones. It does not create project-level constitutions.
Why use it?
It turns an empty or outdated placeholder into agreed team guidance through review and approval of each principle.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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

team-constitution 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 10d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/bash/setup-team-constitution.sh, scripts/powershell/setup-team-constitution.ps1), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 302 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

team-constitution

What this skill does

Interactively create or amend the team constitution at {TEAM_AI_DIRECTIVES}/context_modules/constitution.md.

The scaffold written by team-setup (Mode 3) contains only a placeholder ("No team-wide principles defined yet"). This skill turns that placeholder into a real constitution through guided elicitation:

  • Propose principles informed by team context (existing rules, CDRs, AGENTS.md)
  • Review each principle interactively — confirm, edit, or reject
  • Write the constitution in the established team format (OKF v0.2 frontmatter + numbered principles + Governance section)

What this skill is NOT:

  • Not a port of spec-kit's spec.constitution template machinery — no placeholder tokens, no hooks, no extensions.yml, no template propagation, no Sync Impact Report
  • Not semantic versioning — the team constitution is versioned by git history in the team AI directives repo; freshness is tracked by OKF v0.2 frontmatter (generated, verified, stale_after) via /team-repair
  • Not for project-level constitutions (.adlc/memory/constitution.md) — those remain spec.constitution territory when spec-kit is in play

When to use

  • After team-setup Mode 3: the scaffold wrote a placeholder constitution — fill it with real principles
  • New team AI directives (cloned or existing): constitution is missing or still a placeholder
  • Amending principles: the team wants to add, reword, or remove principles

When NOT to use

  • Project-level constitution: use spec-kit's spec.constitution for .adlc/memory/constitution.md
  • Constitution changes via CDR flow: if a constitution change was proposed as a CDR, let /levelup-publish handle it
  • team AI directives not configured: run /team-setup first

Process

User Input

$ARGUMENTS

You MUST consider the user input before proceeding (if not empty).

Examples of User Input:

  • "Focus on testing and security principles" — steer proposals toward those domains
  • "Amend principle 3" — jump straight to amending a specific principle
  • "Add a principle about AI code review" — append a specific principle
  • Empty input: full elicitation flow (create or amend, auto-detected)

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
