speckit-architecture-guard-init

What problem does it solve?

It prevents architectural drift by turning team and project intent into enforceable, project-specific governance constitutions instead of generic best-practice advice.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Phased constitution interview: Guides users through sequential decisions covering identity, boundaries, contracts, data rules, and enforcement priorities.
• Two-layer separation: Keeps governance principles in .specify/memory/constitution.md while placing enforceable architecture standards in .specify/memory/architecture_constitution.md to avoid duplication.
• Security constitution bootstrap: Produces .specify/memory/security_constitution.md focused on trust boundaries, authz/authn standards, secret handling, audit/logging, and incident triggers.
• Drift-safe and approval-based evolution: Detects existing/partial constitutions, summarizes conflicts or duplication, and requires explicit user approval instead of overwriting.
• Resume-capable workflow: Supports pausing mid-interview via .specify/memory/constitution-draft.md and resuming later to finish the same guided decisions.

Quick Start

Run the Architecture Guard init workflow to generate or refine .specify/memory/constitution.md, .specify/memory/architecture_constitution.md, and .specify/memory/security_constitution.md for your current project.
