FAQPage Schema
How do I update a project constitution and keep governance templates in sync?

This process updates the constitution.md file and applies semantic versioning rules to track changes, ensuring all dependent templates in the .specify directory remain properly aligned.

What is a project constitution in software engineering governance?

Managing it ensures that all governance artifacts align with the established principles, reducing manual overhead and maintaining semantic versioning for project standards.

Do I need a spec-kit project structure to manage project constitutions?

Without the spec-kit project structure, the constitution update and template synchronization processes cannot locate or modify the necessary governance artifacts.

How does semantic versioning apply to project constitution updates?

By applying semantic versioning, the system maintains consistency across various governance artifacts and provides a clear history of principle changes within the spec-kit framework.

What's the best way to automate template synchronization after changing project principles?

This approach eliminates manual overhead by ensuring the constitution.md file and all dependent templates stay in sync through automated semantic versioning and template synchronization rules.

Why are my dependent templates not syncing after a constitution update?

Ensure your project has the proper spec-kit project structure and that the constitution update command was executed with valid principle inputs to trigger the template synchronization correctly.
