FAQPage Schema

How do I automate project constitution updates and keep templates in sync?▼

To automate project constitution updates, run the update command to generate or revise the constitution while syncing all dependent templates and artifacts. It supports interactive input and automatic semantic versioning to reduce manual effort.

What is a project constitution in software engineering and when do I need version control for it?▼

A project constitution defines core development principles. You need version control for it when managing template updates and dependent artifacts, ensuring changes follow semantic versioning rules to maintain project alignment across iterations.

Does the speckit-constitution skill require a specific project structure to work?▼

Yes, the speckit-constitution skill requires a spec-kit project structure with a .specify/ directory present. Without this compatibility check passing, the automated constitution creation and template sync processes cannot execute.

How do I create a project constitution from interactive principle inputs?▼

Create a project constitution from interactive principle inputs by running the constitution update command. The skill accepts provided principles, generates the constitution file, and automatically syncs all dependent templates and artifacts.

What's the best way to manage semantic versioning for project constitutions?▼

Manage semantic versioning for project constitutions using an automated skill that applies versioning rules during updates. This ensures consistent version tracking whenever principles change and dependent templates require synchronization across the project.

Why are my project constitution templates out of sync after manual updates?▼

Project constitution templates fall out of sync after manual updates because dependent artifacts are not automatically updated. Using an automated constitution skill ensures all templates stay synchronized whenever core principles change.
