SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill solves the challenge of maintaining consistent project governance and policy enforcement across distributed agent workflows by treating project rules as version-controlled, machine-readable code.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Governance-as-Code: Automatically derives structured YAML configurations from a human-readable markdown constitution.
  • Context Injection: Dynamically injects project-specific directives and paradigms into agent prompts during planning, implementation, and review.
  • Use Case: A development team can define a strict TDD policy and branch protection rules in a constitution document, which the system then enforces by injecting these constraints into the agent's context during every code review or implementation task.

Quick Start

Run the spec-kitty constitution interview command to generate a new governance constitution for your project.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I enforce project governance policies as code?

Project governance as code works by synchronizing human-readable markdown constitutions with structured YAML configuration files. This approach treats project rules as version-controlled, machine-readable code for consistent compliance across distributed workflows.

Can I dynamically inject project directives into agent prompts during code review?

Yes, project-specific directives and paradigms can be dynamically injected into agent prompts during planning, implementation, and review. This provides context-aware policy enforcement for automated development workflows.

How do I convert markdown constitution documents to YAML configuration?

Markdown constitution documents are converted to YAML configuration through deterministic parsing of markdown headings and tables. This process generates structured governance, directive, and metadata artifacts for the Spec Kitty framework.

What is the best way to manage project governance documents across distributed agent workflows?

Managing project governance documents across distributed agent workflows is best handled by synchronizing markdown constitutions with YAML configurations. This method version-controls machine-readable rules to maintain consistent policy enforcement.

Does Spec Kitty support governance-as-code workflows for TDD and branch protection rules?

Yes, Spec Kitty supports governance-as-code workflows by deriving structured YAML configurations from markdown constitutions. Teams can define strict TDD policies and branch protection rules that the system enforces during implementation tasks.

How do I generate a new governance constitution for my project?

A new governance constitution is generated by running the spec-kitty constitution interview command. This interactive process creates a human-readable markdown constitution document tailored to your project's specific policy requirements.
