speckit-constitution

To keep a project constitution in sync, you automate updates from interactive inputs or provided principles to align governance rules across templates. This validates placeholders, applies governance rules, and increments versioning consistently when principles change.

A Sync Impact Report for project governance is an output document that records changes made when updating the constitution. It details how principle modifications propagate across dependent templates and surfaces deferred items for missing data.

To update .specify/memory/constitution.md without template drift, automate propagating changes from inputs to dependent templates while running cross-template consistency checks. This ensures governance rules remain aligned across all artifacts.

Yes, spec-kit supports automated constitution versioning and placeholder resolution. When applying governance changes, the system validates placeholders, resolves them consistently, and increments the constitution version to reflect updated principles.

When synchronizing a project constitution with missing data, the process defers those specific items rather than failing. The generated Sync Impact Report explicitly surfaces these deferred items for later resolution.

Yes, you can use interactive mode to refresh governance principles in spec-kit repositories. This mode accepts direct inputs to update the constitution and automatically propagate changes across dependent templates.
