constitution
Creates, updates, validates, and displays the architectural DNA of a project through two shared documents: docs/specs/architecture.md (technology stack, architectural rules, security constraints, AI guardrails) and docs/specs/ontology.md (domain glossary / Ubiquitous Language). Use BEFORE brainstorm as a project setup step, or at any point in the SDD lifecycle to validate specs/tasks against architecture principles. Triggers on 'create constitution', 'update constitution', 'constitution check', 'validate against constitution', 'project principles', 'architectural guardrails', 'setup project architecture', 'define ontology'.
