Clanker Constitution
The Clanker Constitution defines concise default operating principles for<br>coding agents. Direct user instructions and more specific repository<br>instructions override it.
The current release is<br>v2026.08.10.
Use it globally
Keep a persistent checkout of this repository on trusted main. Link<br>CONSTITUTION.md to ~/.codex/AGENTS.md and to<br>~/.claude/rules/clanker-constitution.md. Preserve existing destinations;<br>merge the principles manually if either destination already exists.
Use it in a repository
Copy CONSTITUTION.md from a reviewed release tag to the repository root.<br>Have the root AGENTS.md tell agents to read and follow it, and have the root<br>CLAUDE.md import it with @CONSTITUTION.md. Keep downstream copies pinned;<br>update them through normal pull-request review instead of fetching at agent<br>startup.
An unchanged mirror must retain the provenance and attribution notices. A<br>modified copy must retain attribution, identify its changes, and must not<br>present itself as an exact canonical version.
Versioning
Releases use calendar tags such as v2026.08.10. A second release on the same<br>date appends a numeric component, such as v2026.08.10.1. Tags are immutable.
