Turn the household unwritten rules into a short charter everyone actually agreed to — screens, chores, money, guests, quiet — drafted together, with consequences decided in advance and an amendment process so it bends instead of breaking. Use when asked to make family rules that stick, a screen-time agreement, a flatmate agreement, or stop having the same argument about chores. Produces the negotiation session plan, the drafted constitution, the consequence menu agreed before anyone breaks anything, and the review procedure. Works for families and shared houses; slightly funny on purpose, binding on purpose too.
▸The household — who lives there, ages where relevant, and the power realities (parents and kids is a different negotiation than four equal flatmates — the skill adjusts which rules are negotiable versus consultable)
▸The recurring arguments — the actual top five, verbatim if possible; the constitution is built from the real conflicts, not a template of imagined ones
▸The non-negotiables — what the adults (or the lease) genuinely cannot compromise on, declared *as* non-negotiable up front rather than fake-negotiated
▸Past attempts — the chore wheel that died, the screen rule that lasted a week, and why, honestly
▸The tone the household can sustain — some houses want articles named with jokes; some want it straight; the document should sound like the people
✅ The bar it holds itself to
Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.
✓Non-negotiables were declared, not fake-negotiated
✓Every household member drafted proposals before discussion, including rules for the adults
✓Each article records a rule someone could quote, not a value statement
✓Consequences were agreed before any breach and apply symmetrically
✓The amendment clause exists and is easier to use than ignoring a rule
✓A review date is set at signing
⚠️ What it refuses to do
**The announced constitution.** Rules delivered from above are just the old regime with paperwork; the drafting *is* the product.
**Fake-negotiating the non-negotiable.** One discovered sham poisons every real negotiation in the document.
**Vague articles.** "Be respectful about noise" restarts the argument; "quiet after 10:30 on school nights" ends it.
**Asymmetric consequences.** A document where only children face consequences is a chore chart cosplaying as a constitution, and teenagers price it accordingly.
**Keeping dead letters.** Every ignored article teaches that the document is optional; delete or amend, never quietly abandon.
