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

To keep your project constitution in sync, this Skill derives and applies updated project principles to the living constitution, automatically amending memory templates and propagating governance references across dependent templates.

What is automated governance update derivation from meeting proposals?

Automated governance update derivation extracts frontmatter metadata and principles from meeting inputs or proposals, then produces updated governance artifacts while validating rules against your existing project constitution.

How do I update a living constitution from a sprint backlog?

You can update a living constitution by providing new principles from your current sprint backlog as input. The Skill processes these inputs to draft amendments and synchronize all dependent governance templates.

Does this constitution governance automation work with .specify template repos?

Yes, this automation applies specifically to spec-kit projects and repositories using the .specify template. It handles existing placeholders to generate synchronized governance artifacts without manual template rewriting.

Why do dependent templates break when amending project governance principles?

Dependent templates break when governance updates lack propagation. This Skill prevents desynchronization by automatically applying versioning and memory template propagation alongside constitution amendments.
