speckit-constitution

This Skill updates a project constitution from principle inputs and repository context while preserving governance consistency across dependent plan, spec, task, and command templates.

Template synchronization in spec-kit governance ensures that constitutional changes trigger validation and alignment across related plan, spec, task, and command artifacts, keeping project values consistent throughout the documentation lifecycle.

You apply semantic versioning to constitutional changes by providing new governance principles to this Skill, which resolves placeholders and updates versioned constitutional documentation while validating related artifacts for compliance.

Yes, this Skill requires existing spec-kit project artifacts to validate governance consistency, checking related plan, spec, task, and command templates so newly incorporated principles align across the repository.

You should use automated constitution rewriting when your team changes project values or rules and needs the constitution updated with placeholder resolution, semantic versioning, and compliance-aware validation without manually editing dependent templates.

The best way to keep governance documentation aligned is using a constitution editing process that reads repository context, applies principle inputs, and synchronizes dependent templates to maintain compliance-aware documentation updates.
