The Clanker Constitution – Wes McKinney
Getting coding agents (we say “clankers”: “agents” gives them too much credit) to behave in a reasonable manner is a full time job even with the latest frontier models. At Kenn, we spend so much time tuning their behavior across different repositories and projects that we started developing a “constitution” of sorts based on how we like to build software. We hope you find it useful: you can include it in your repositories or put it in your global system prompts. We will version it and keep it up to date at https://github.com/kenn-io/constitution.
