Show HN: Core – Constitutional governance runtime for AI coding agents

AI agents that can write code are useful. AI agents that can't violate your architecture are useful in production. CORE enforces constitutional law at runtime — 92 rules across 7 deterministic engines. If a blocking rule fails, execution halts. No partial states, no silent violations. Today it blocked its own self-healing workflow because two governance components drifted out of sync. No human caught it. The constitution did.

Show HN: Core – Constitutional AI achieving 70% autonomous coding

I'm excited to share CORE v2.0.0, which just achieved A2 autonomy: 70% success rate on autonomous code generation with constitutional governance. The problem: AI agents can write code fast, but they also break architecture, skip tests, and ignore conventions. The solution: Constitutional governance. Every AI action goes through: - Constitutional audit (checks architecture, naming, placement) - Semantic validation (513 symbols in knowledge graph) - Test execution with auto-fix - Clean merge only if everything passes Real metrics: - Code generation: 0% → 70% success - Semantic placement: 45% → 100% accuracy - 513 symbols vectorized, 66 module anchors, 48 policy chunks The key innovation is making AI autonomy safe through human-authored policies that AI semantically understands. Agents operate in defined "autonomy lanes" with cryptographic g

overnance for policy changes. Built with Python, PostgreSQL, Qdrant. MIT licensed. Next milestone: A3 (strategic refactoring across multiple files). Happy to answer questions about the constitutional governance approach!

What keeps an AI from drifting into unmaintainable chaos? I started building the answer four years ago: CORE — open-source framework for constitutionally aligned AI-driven development. Key pieces: - Immutable Constitution: 10-min readable, copy-paste into any project - ConstitutionalAuditor: blocks drift instantly - Human Quorum: required for edge cases (GitHub/Slack ready) - Self-Healing Loops: `core-admin fix all` stays inside the rules - Mind–Body–Will architecture: fully modular & traceable Alpha, MIT, 5-minute QuickStart. Built for the post-Opus world: AI codes fast; CORE ensures it codes right. Docs: https://dariusznewecki.github.io/CORE/ Worked example: https://github.com/DariuszNewecki/CORE/blob/main/docs/09_WOR...
In Core: AI coding with immutable constitution and human quorum (open-source)
