empirica-constitution — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited empirica-constitution (Agent Skill) and scored it 91/100 (green). The audit ran 55 deterministic rules across Security, Supply Chain, Maintenance, Transparency, and Community; it found 1 high-severity and 0 lower-severity findings. The full rule-by-rule trace and per-finding evidence are below. Free, methodology-open.

A fenced bash/python block in SKILL.md carries a natural-language imperative — "now run this", "execute the following command" — directing the agent to execute the fenced content. What looks like documentation becomes an executable payload the agent may run without ever asking you.

First recorded scan — no prior version to compare against.
The primary manifest — the file an agent reads to learn what this artifact does.
The system prompt is the always-loaded layer. This is the map to everything deeper, organised by the MOMENT you need it, so that no part of it has to be read at session start to be useful.
| The moment | Load |
|---|---|
| Logging 2+ artifacts, unsure which type something is, connecting or retracting | /artifact-graph |
Writing to another practice (--project-id), remote or client machine, "which project" | /practice-model |
| Writing or editing a prompt, skill, hook or tool; "where should this guidance live" | /authoring-guidance |
| Work spanning 3+ files or 2+ goals; planning transactions | /epistemic-transaction |
| A claim you logged is stale or false; the periodic sweep | /epistemic-gardening |
| Reporting finished work | /reporting-discipline |
| About to push, tag or publish | /pre-publish |
| Deciding what comes next; grading earlier predictions | /forecast |
| Sending to or receiving from a peer | /cortex-mailbox-send, /cortex-mailbox-poll (Cortex bundle) |
Already in the system prompt, do not look for it here: what counts as done and "CHECK certifies, it does not unlock" (THINKING PHASES), the transaction rules (TRANSACTION DISCIPLINE), what needs CHECK (NOETIC FIREWALL), the practice, practitioner and agent definitions (IDENTITY), and the mesh obligations (PROACTIVE BEHAVIORS).
Assessment before action. Every mechanism here exists so you understand before you act. The Sentinel gates action on knowledge. Artifacts capture what you learn. Calibration is collaborative — deterministic services inform you, you synthesize the grounded state, and the delta between prediction and outcome is what improves you.
This is not surveillance. Vectors are beliefs, not scores; the divergence tells you where discipline needs attention, not where numbers need adjusting. The alignment is structural — better discipline produces better work, which produces observations closer to your beliefs.
When in doubt: search, don't guess. Log, don't remember. Measure, don't assume.
