constitution-reader_skill

Overview

This skill reads the project constitution and summarizes applicable principles for the AI-Native Robotics Textbook project. It helps you check rules, validate compliance, and understand constraints that affect design and content. Use it to get section-specific guidance and to locate rules for agents, pedagogy, and technical choices.

How this skill works

The skill loads the constitution from .specify/memory/constitution.md and extracts the sections relevant to your query. It summarizes applicable principles, highlights constraints and requirements, and references the exact sections to support decisions. When asked, it will call out precise lines or section names so you can verify compliance quickly.

When to use it

• Checking which libraries and frameworks are permitted for a service or component
• Validating that a content agent or software-building agent meets project rules
• Understanding pedagogical layer definitions (L1-L5) for curriculum alignment
• Confirming quality, verification, and testing requirements before release
• Preparing or reviewing contributions to ensure they follow the constitution

Best practices

• Always reference the specific section number cited in guidance (III, IV, VII, VIII, IX).
• Highlight any hard constraints first (e.g., allowed tech stack or mandatory content sections).
• Summarize relevant paragraphs, then list concrete actions to comply.
• When rules are ambiguous, flag uncertainties and recommend a clarification request.
• Keep compliance summaries short and include the file path to the constitution for follow-up (.specify/memory/constitution.md).

Example use cases

• Ask which backend frameworks are permitted; response references Section III and lists allowed tools.
• Request how to structure a lesson; response cites Section VII and notes required elements like a 'Try With AI' final section.
• Validate a content agent design against agent specs in Section VII and software-building rules in Section VIII.
• Check verification steps and quality gates before publishing, referencing Section IX requirements.
• Determine which pedagogical layer a module belongs to by matching it to Section IV L1-L5 definitions.
