FAQPage Schema
How do I keep my project constitution updated when governance principles change?

A project constitution is maintained by collecting core principles and automatically syncing dependent governance templates across the repository to keep standards consistent during iterative changes.

What is the best way to sync governance templates after modifying repository principles?

The best way to sync governance templates is using an automated constitution manager that validates updated principles and generates a Sync Impact Report to reflect changes across the codebase.

Do I need a spec-kit project to automate constitution versioning and template syncing?

Yes, automated constitution versioning requires a spec-kit project with .specify memory, a constitution memory file, governance rules, and a versioning policy to generate updated docs and impact reports.

How does a Sync Impact Report work when bumping constitution versions?

A Sync Impact Report works by analyzing iterative principle changes and version bumps against existing governance rules, then documenting how dependent templates require synchronization across the project.

Can I use constitution governance automation without existing memory files?

No, constitution governance automation requires existing memory files including a constitution memory file and governance rules to properly validate principles and generate synchronized template updates.
