The README's prompt invocation examples showed create-constitution inline with the normal cycle, obscuring that it's a one-time setup step rather than part of the repeatable workflow.

Changes

  • Split the prompt invocation block into two distinct sections:
    • Step 0 (first-time only) for constitution creation
    • Normal cycle for the increment/design/breakdown/improve flow

Before/After

Before: Flat list mixing setup with cycle

@workspace /create-constitution
@workspace /increment add todo item
@workspace /design
@workspace /breakdown
@workspace /improve

After: Clear separation of concerns

Step 0 (first-time only) — create the constitution:
@workspace /create-constitution

Then the normal cycle:
@workspace /increment add todo item
@workspace /design
@workspace /breakdown
@workspace /improve
Original prompt

Edit README.md in the repository co0p/4dc (path: README.md) to make it explicit that the constitution should be created initially as "Step 0 (first-time only)" before running the normal increment/design/breakdown/improve flow. Specifically, in the "Using Prompts in Visual Studio Code" section, replace the example prompt invocation block so it clearly shows:

Step 0 (first-time only) — create the constitution:
@workspace /create-constitution

Then the normal cycle:
@workspace /increment
@workspace /design
@workspace /breakdown
@workspace /improve
