A project constitution is a formal governance document that defines code quality, testing standards, and architectural constraints. It serves as the central source of truth for project rules, ensuring compliance and consistent governance across development teams.

You can version governance rules by applying version increments to the project constitution. This process includes filling placeholders and generating a Sync Impact Report that details changes and tracks required compliance follow-ups.

Yes, the spec-kit structure supports automated template syncing for governance. It enforces frontmatter metadata requirements, handles placeholder replacement, and generates a Sync Impact Report to detail syncing changes.
