spec-kitty.charter

To generate a project charter, run an interactive chat interview to collect user intent, synthesize answers into `interview/answers.yaml`, and execute `spec-kitty charter generate --from-interview --json` to produce the charter artifacts.

A repo-scoped charter workflow is a process that selects a mission blueprint, collects project intent through interviewing, and persists governance artifacts under the `.kittify/charter/` directory for end-to-end validation.

You verify project charter artifacts by running `spec-kitty charter status --json` after generation, which checks the output and confirms whether charter diffs need to be committed to the repository.

No, charter generation must be run from the repository root to ensure the workflow correctly targets the mission blueprint and persists outputs under the `.kittify/charter/` directory structure.

The best way to compile a governance charter is through an LLM-led interview that inspects the repo for context, asks focused questions, and deterministically generates persistent charter outputs from the synthesized answers.

Charter generation requires an interview because the workflow needs to collect high-signal user intent and repository context, synthesizing these focused answers into `answers.yaml` before deterministically generating the charter.
