**Your agent isn't careless. It's grading its own homework.**

Give your AI coding agents a constitution, a working method, and an enforcement layer — so the agent that builds a thing is never the agent that approves it. Three skills, two lightweight starters for surfaces with no skill mechanism, and a hook that blocks catastrophic shell commands before they run.


Built and maintained by [Ezra Israel](https://github.com/Ezra144israel) · [X](https://x.com/Eisrael144). These skills govern the agent teams in daily use.

## Who this is for — and who it isn't

These skills were built to govern teams of coding agents: agents that write code, review each other's work, and change repositories. That is where the constitution and the review loop earn their keep — when an agent's mistake can reach a codebase, a deploy, or a canonical record.

If your agents do other work — marketing copy, listings, research, design, operations — most of this package is heavier than you need. Take `reasoning-doctrine` (the working method: verify before asserting, never build on unconfirmed facts, catch drift on long tasks — it applies to any kind of work) and leave the constitution and review loop until the day your agents touch real code.

An honest scope statement beats a broad one. If you install only one file from this repo, install `reasoning-doctrine`.

## What a "seat" is

A seat is a role an AI agent occupies for one session — not a person, and not a job title. The humans in your life are not seats. You, the human, are the operator:
