What problem does it solve?
This Skill eliminates the risk of inconsistent development practices, unclear architectural constraints, and uneven code quality across a project by providing a structured, repeatable process to create and maintain a project constitution that aligns all contributors to shared, enforceable rules.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Constitution Management: Create or update project governing principles covering code quality, testing standards, and architectural constraints tailored to your project's specific needs.
- Cross-Artifact Consistency: Automatically propagate constitutional changes to project templates, plans, and task definitions to ensure all documentation and workflows stay aligned with core rules.
- Real-World Use Case: For a new open-source rendering project, use this Skill to define mandatory testing requirements for all shading language contributions and set versioning rules for RIB format compatibility.
Quick Start
Use the speckit-constitution skill to update the project's development principles to require 90% unit test coverage for all new rendering engine modules.
