SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates maintaining a living project constitution by filling placeholders and synchronizing dependent artifacts across the SPEC-KIT project structure.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Placeholder-driven constitution: derive concrete values from user input or repository context to populate the constitution template.
  • Propagation across artifacts: automatically update dependent templates and governance docs to maintain consistency.
  • Versioning and governance: manage constitution versioning, dates, and amendments with a clear, auditable flow.

Quick Start

Update the constitution by filling placeholders in .specify/memory/constitution.md and propagate changes to dependent artifacts.

FAQPage Schema
How do I keep a project constitution in sync with dependent templates?▼

To keep a project constitution in sync, this Skill automates governance alignment by cascading constitution updates to dependent templates and artifacts, enforcing placeholder replacement and cross-artifact consistency across the project structure.

What is a placeholder-driven constitution in spec-kit project management?▼

A placeholder-driven constitution derives concrete governance values from user input or repository context to populate a constitution template, ensuring the project's governance document remains a living, automatically updated artifact.

How do I manage versioning and amendments for project governance docs?▼

Managing versioning for governance docs is handled by enforcing a versioning policy that tracks constitution versions, dates, and amendments, providing a clear and auditable flow for all project governance updates.

Can I use speckit-constitution to update governance artifacts automatically?▼

Yes, speckit-constitution automatically updates governance artifacts by propagating changes from the core constitution file to dependent templates, maintaining consistency without requiring manual updates across multiple documents.

Does spec-kit governance automation work without external dependencies?▼

Yes, spec-kit governance automation works without external dependencies, relying solely on the internal project structure and user input to fill placeholders and synchronize artifacts.

What are the limitations of automating constitution updates across artifacts?▼

The automation is limited to spec-kit based projects requiring a living constitution, relying on predefined template-derived placeholders and user input for cross-artifact consistency rather than unstructured document editing.
