SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Updates to a project constitution can be error-prone and drift out of sync with dependent templates and memory. Speckit-constitution automates creating or updating the constitution from interactive or provided principle inputs, ensuring alignment across the spec-kit memory and templates.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Interactive principle-driven constitution updates and governance alignment.
  • Automatic synchronization of dependent templates and memory artifacts (.specify/memory/constitution.md).
  • Supports optional extension hooks for custom pre-constitution checks and automated enforcement.

Quick Start

Provide the desired principles to update the constitution and run the Speckit Constitution skill to apply them.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate project constitution updates for spec-kit repositories?

Automate project constitution updates by providing desired principles to the skill, which applies them interactively and synchronizes dependent spec-kit memory artifacts. This ensures governance docs remain aligned without manual file editing.

Why does my project constitution drift out of sync with dependent templates?

Your project constitution drifts when updates are applied manually without propagating changes to dependent templates and memory. The automation skill prevents this by synchronizing governance docs and memory artifacts automatically during principle updates.

What is the best way to manage living constitutions and governance docs in software projects?

Managing living constitutions is best handled by automating the collection of principles and applying structured propagation to versioned templates. This ensures governance docs stay consistent with frontmatter-driven identification and memory validations.

Do I need a spec-kit project to use constitution automation?

Yes, constitution automation requires a spec-kit project environment to function correctly. It specifically targets spec-kit memory artifacts and templates to ensure governance alignment and structured versioning during updates.

Can I add custom pre-constitution checks to the governance automation workflow?

Yes, you can add custom pre-constitution checks using optional extension hooks within the governance automation workflow. These hooks allow automated enforcement and validation before the constitution is updated.

How do I synchronize memory artifacts when updating project principles?

Synchronize memory artifacts by running the constitution skill after providing updated principles. It automatically propagates changes to the memory directory and validates versioning to keep all dependent artifacts aligned.
