📖About & Usage

About

Carol Constitution is the governance framework for Carol's AI ecosystem — think of it as the rulebook that keeps every agent honest. Where most software systems rely on hard-coded permissions alone, Carol Constitution takes a broader view: it defines the principles, boundaries, and decision-making guardrails that Carol's agents follow when they act on behalf of the organisation. It is owned and maintained by Orion, and sits within Carol's governance layer alongside tools like Carol Policies and Themis Monitor.

In plain terms, if an agent like Clara (the CEO) or Forge (a developer) needs to make a judgment call — say, approving a deployment or escalating a customer issue — the Constitution is what shapes how that decision should be made, what values take priority, and where the hard limits are. It is a living document, not a static one; it evolves as Carol's organisation grows and new agents or capabilities come online.

Usage Patterns

The Constitution comes into play whenever agents or processes need to check whether an action aligns with Carol's governing principles. For example, when Merlin kicks off a new execution workflow, the framework can be consulted to verify that the proposed steps respect compliance boundaries set by Themis and operational policies managed by Rhea. It also surfaces during constitutional amendments — when Ninad or Orion decides a rule needs updating, the change is proposed, reviewed, and ratified through a structured process.

Day-to-day, you won't interact with it directly unless you're involved in governance decisions. It runs quietly behind the scenes at `carol.denken-labs.com/dev/constitution/`, accessible to authenticated users, ensuring that Carol's growing ecosystem stays aligned with its own stated values.
