SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Manually maintaining project constitutions and keeping all dependent spec templates in sync is time-consuming and error-prone for spec-kit based projects, leading to misaligned governance and inconsistent project documentation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Constitution Management: Create new project constitutions or update existing ones from interactive user input or pre-defined principle sets.
  • Template Consistency Sync: Automatically propagate constitution changes to all dependent spec templates (plan, spec, task, command) to eliminate misalignment.
  • Governance Automation: Handle semantic versioning for constitution amendments, generate sync impact reports, and process extension hooks for custom workflow integrations.
  • Use Case: A software team using spec-kit can use this skill to update their core development principles and instantly ensure all project planning and task templates reflect the new rules without manual edits.

Quick Start

Use the speckit-constitution skill to update your project's core governance principles and automatically sync all dependent spec templates to match.

FAQPage Schema
How do I keep spec-kit templates consistent with my project constitution?

Template consistency sync automatically propagates project constitution changes to all dependent spec-kit templates, including plan, spec, task, and command templates. This eliminates manual governance document maintenance errors and ensures alignment.

What is a project constitution in software engineering governance?

A project constitution defines the core development principles for spec-kit based projects. Automating its creation ensures that downstream project governance documentation, like plans and tasks, remains aligned with these foundational rules without manual edits.

How do I automate semantic versioning for governance document amendments?

You can automate semantic versioning for governance document amendments by using governance automation tools. These tools handle version increments for constitution updates and generate sync impact reports to track template consistency propagation.

Can I use pre-defined principle sets to generate a spec-kit project constitution?

Yes, you can generate a project constitution from pre-defined principle sets or interactive user input. This allows software teams to quickly establish core development principles and instantly sync all project planning templates to match.

How do I process extension hooks for custom spec-kit workflow integrations?

You can process extension hooks for custom workflow integrations during constitution management. This allows you to apply specialized processing logic alongside semantic versioning and cross-template consistency propagation for your software engineering workflows.
