How does the skill handle existing checklists in my file?

It uses a semantic deduplication algorithm that compares existing items with new principles. It keeps existing wording if the meaning matches and prefers the more specific technical version to preserve your customizations.

What happens if I don't have a CONSTITUTION.md file yet?

The skill will prompt an error and suggest running the 'constitution:writer' skill first to establish your project's core principles.

How many items are typically included in the generated checklist?

To prevent 'checkbox fatigue' and ensure focus, the skill targets between 6 and 12 high-impact, verifiable items.

Does it support different directory structures?

Yes, it automatically searches the current directory, walks up parent directories, and checks the Git root to locate your project's constitution.
