SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents configuration drift by updating your Speckit project constitution from provided principles while keeping dependent templates consistent across memory and templates.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Constitution creation and updates: Builds or refreshes .specify/memory/constitution.md using a constitution template with placeholder tokens.
  • Principle-driven propagation: Propagates changes to linked governance and alignment checks by updating the constitution and then synchronizing dependent template expectations.
  • Extension hook execution: Runs optional and mandatory pre-/post constitution hooks found in .specify/extensions.yml without interpreting hook conditions.

Quick Start

Run the speckit-constitution skill with the principles you want included to generate an updated constitution and keep related templates aligned.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I keep project constitution templates synced with governance versioning?▼

Preventing configuration drift in project scaffolding requires synchronizing the central constitution file with dependent governance and alignment templates. Updating principles in the constitution automatically propagates changes to linked project templates.

How do I update a Speckit project constitution with new principles?▼

The constitution update process fills a template with user-provided principles and derived project values, replacing placeholder tokens in the .specify/memory/constitution.md file. It then synchronizes dependent plan, spec, and task templates to maintain alignment.

Does the Speckit constitution update process support pre and post hooks?▼

The constitution update process executes optional and mandatory before_constitution and after_constitution hooks found in .specify/extensions.yml. It runs these extension hooks without interpreting hook conditions, allowing external governance workflows to integrate seamlessly.

What's the best way to prevent configuration drift in Speckit project scaffolding?▼

Preventing configuration drift is achieved by updating the project constitution from provided principles and synchronizing dependent template expectations. This approach keeps governance versioning consistent across memory files and linked project scaffolding templates.

Can I use this skill for projects without a .specify/memory/constitution.md file?▼

This skill applies specifically to Speckit projects that use .specify/memory/constitution.md and require consistency with plan, spec, and task templates. It builds or refreshes this file using a constitution template with placeholder tokens, so it targets that environment.
