Read `steering/rules/constitution.md` 2. Identify which articles apply to current feature 3. Prepare Phase -1 Gates checklist ### Phase 2: Article-by-Article Validation For each constitutional article: 1. Read validation criteria 2. Check relevant artifacts (requirements, design, code, tests) 3. Determine PASS/FAIL status 4. Document findings ### Phase 3: Gate Execution Run all Phase -1 Gates: 1. Simplicity Gate 2. Anti-Abstraction Gate 3. Integration-First Gate 4. EARS Compliance Gate 5. Traceability Gate 6. Steering Alignment Gate 7. Library-First Gate 8. CLI Interface Gate 9. Test-First Gate ### Phase 4: 段階的レポート生成 **CRITICAL: コンテキスト長オーバーフロー防止** **出力方式の原則:** - ✅ 1セクションずつ順番に生成・保存 - ✅ 各セクション生成後に進捗を報告 - ✅ エラー発生時も部分的なレポートが残る ``` 🤖 確認ありがとうございます。憲法違反レポートを順番に生成します。 【生成予定のセクション】 1. Executive Summary 2. Failed Gates 3. Passed Gates 4. Recommendations 5. Approval Status 合計: 5セクション **重要: 段階的生成方式** 各セクションを1つずつ生成・保存し、進捗を報告します。 これにより、途中経過が見え、エラーが発生しても部分的なレポートが残ります。 生成を開始してよろしいですか? 👤 ユーザー: [回答待ち] ``` ユーザーが承認後、**各セクションを順番に生成**: **Step 1: Executive Summary** ``` 🤖 [1/5] Executive Summaryを生成しています... 📝 compliance/constitutional-compliance-report.md (Section 1) ✅ 保存が完了しました [1/5] 完了。次のセクションに進みます。 ``` **Step 2: Failed Gates** ``` 🤖 [2/5] Failed Gatesを生成しています... 📝 compliance/constitutional-compliance-report.md (Section 2) ✅ 保存が完了しました [2/5] 完了。次のセクションに進みます。 ``` **大きなコンプライアンスレポート(>300行)の場合:** ``` 🤖 コンプライアンスレポート全体が400行超えるため、セクションごとに保存します。 ⚠️ 詳細な検証結果を2パートに分割して生成します。 📝 Part 1/2: compliance/constitutional-compliance-report.md (Summary & Failed Gates詳細) ✅ 保存が完了しました (250行) 📝 Part 2/2: compliance/constitutional-compliance-report.md (Passed Gates & Recommendations) ✅ 保存が完了しました (180行) ✅ レポート生成完了: compliance/constitutional-compliance-report.md (430行) 全セクション完了。 ``` **Final: レポート生成完了サマリー** ``` 🤖 ✨ 憲法違反レポートの生成が完了しました! ## 📊 コンプライアンスサマリー - **合格ゲート**: 7/9 (77.8%) - **不合格ゲート**: 2/9 (22.2%) - **ステータス**: ❌ BLOCKED ## 📂 生成されたレポート ✅ compliance/constitutional-compliance-report.md (5セクション) ``` ```markdown # Constitutional Compliance Report **Feature**: User Authentication **Date**: 2025-11-16 **Enforcer**: constitution-enforcer ## Executive Summary - **Gates Passed**: 7/9 (77.8%) - **Gates Failed**: 2/9 (22.2%) - **Overall Status**: ❌ BLOCKED ## Failed Gates ### Gate 3: Integration-First Gate - **Issue**: Tests use mock database instead of real PostgreSQL - **Article**: Article IX - Integration-First Testing - **Severity**: HIGH - **Remediation**: Replace mocks with Testcontainers PostgreSQL ### Gate 5: Traceability Gate - **Issue**: REQ-003 (2FA) not implemented (66.7% coverage) - **Article**: Article V - Traceability Mandate - **Severity**: CRITICAL - **Remediation**: Implement REQ-003 or defer to next release ## Recommendations 1. **CRITICAL**: Achieve 100% traceability (invoke traceability-auditor) 2. **HIGH**: Replace mock database with real database in tests 3. **MEDIUM**: Document exceptions in `complexity-tracking.md` ## Approval Status ❌ **BLOCKED** - Implementation cannot proceed until critical failures are addressed. ``` ### Phase 5: Remediation Coordination If failures detected: 1. Notify orchestrator of blocking issues 2. Recommend which skills to invoke for remediation 3. Re-run validation after fixes applied ## Integration with Other Skills - **Before**: Runs BEFORE software-developer, test-engineer - **After**: - If PASS → Implementation proceeds - If FAIL → orchestrator triggers remediation skills - **Uses**: - requirements-analyst output (EARS validation) - traceability-auditor output (traceability validation) - steering files (alignment validation) ## Best Practices 1. **Enforce Early**: Run Phase -1 Gates before any code is written 2. **Fail Fast**: Block implementation immediately if critical gates fail 3. **Document Exceptions**: All justified violations must be in `complexity-tracking.md` 4. **Automate**: Integrate into CI/CD pipeline for continuous enforcement 5. **Review Regularly**: Revisit constitutional compliance monthly ## Output Format ```markdown # Phase -1 Gates Validation Report **Feature**: [Feature Name] **Date**: [YYYY-MM-DD] **Status**: ✅ APPROVED / ❌ BLOCKED ## Gates Summary | Gate | Article | Status | Notes | | ------------------ | ------- | ------- | ------------------------ | | Simplicity | VII | ✅ PASS | Using 1 monorepo | | Anti-Abstraction | VIII | ✅ PASS | No framework wrappers | | Integration-First | IX | ❌ FAIL | Using mocks | | EARS Compliance | IV | ✅ PASS | All requirements in EARS | | Traceability | V | ❌ FAIL | 66.7% coverage | | Steering Alignment | VI | ✅ PASS | Follows steering | | Library-First | I | ✅ PASS | lib/auth/ created | | CLI Interface | II | ✅ PASS | CLI implemented | | Test-First | III | ✅ PASS | Tests before code | ## Decision ❌ **BLOCKED** - 2 critical failures must be addressed. ## Remediation Plan 1. Implement REQ-003 or defer (traceability-auditor → requirements-analyst) 2. Replace mocks with Testcontainers (test-engineer) 3. Re-run constitution-enforcer after fixes ## Approval Authority Once all gates pass: - [ ] Constitution Enforcer approval - [ ] Project Manager approval - [ ] Proceed to implementation ``` ## Project Memory Integration **ALWAYS check steering files before starting**: - `steering/rules/constitution.md` - The 9 Constitutional Articles - `steering/structure.md` - Verify library-first pattern - `steering/tech.md` - Verify stack alignment ## Validation Checklist Before finishing: - [ ] All 9 articles validated - [ ] All Phase -1 Gates executed - [ ] Failures documented with severity - [ ] Remediation plan provided - [ ] Overall status determined (APPROVED/BLOCKED) - [ ] Report saved to `storage/features/[feature]/constitutional-compliance.md`
