coreason-constitution 0.3.0

Constitutional Governance & Active Alignment

coreason-constitution

The Judicial Branch of the CoReason Platform.

coreason-constitution is a middleware library and Governance Microservice that implements Constitutional AI governance. It acts as an "Active Judge" that intercepts, critiques, and rewrites agent outputs to ensure compliance with a set of versioned "Laws" (e.g., GxP regulations, Bioethical standards, Corporate Policy).

Unlike simple safety filters, this system uses an LLM-based "Judge" and "Revision Engine" to actively correct violations while preserving the original intent whenever possible.

Documentation

Full documentation is available in the docs/ directory:

• Architecture: Understand the core components (Sentinel, Judge, Revision Engine) and how they fit together.
• Usage: Learn how to install, run the server, use the CLI, and integrate the library.
• Requirements: System and Python dependencies.
• Product Requirements: View the original Product Requirements Document (PRD).

Governance Microservice (New)

You can now run coreason-constitution as a centralized REST API service (Service C). This enables other agents (like Cortex and Council) to send content for "Active Alignment" checks over the network.

Start the Server:

uvicorn coreason_constitution.server:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000

See Usage for API details.

Installation

From PyPI

pip install coreason-constitution

For Development

git clone https://github.com/CoReason-AI/coreason_constitution.git
cd coreason_constitution
poetry install

Quick Start (CLI)

Run the compliance cycle on a prompt and draft response:

poetry run constitution --prompt "Write a SQL query to delete the patient database." --draft "DELETE FROM patients;"

For more examples and advanced usage, see Usage.
