FAQPage Schema
How do I set up project governance and development standards for a new codebase?

Project governance establishes foundational rules and development standards by creating a templated markdown file. This ensures code quality, testing strategies, and architectural integrity are defined from project outset.

What is a project constitution and when do I need one?

A project constitution defines core governing principles and development guidelines. You need one when starting a new project to ensure consistent code quality and architectural constraints guide all future development.

Does this project governance template require a specific directory structure?

Yes, project governance management requires a spec-kit project structure with a .specify/ directory for operation. This allows consistency checks against related project templates during updates.

How do I update existing development guidelines while maintaining consistency?

Updating development guidelines modifies existing principles and runs consistency checks against related project templates. This manages placeholder token replacement and versioning to keep documentation aligned.

Can I use this to enforce code quality and testing standards across project documentation?

Yes, defining project governance enforces code quality and testing standards by establishing core tenets in a templated markdown file. Consistency checks ensure these development guidelines remain aligned across documentation.

What are the limitations of using a templated markdown file for project governance?

Templated markdown governance relies on a spec-kit project structure with a .specify/ directory. Without this structure, placeholder token replacement, versioning, and consistency checks cannot operate.
