speckit-constitution

To keep your project constitution in sync, update the memory file with current project values. The system replaces placeholders and propagates amendments across dependent templates and artifacts to maintain consistent governance.

Constitutional versioning uses semantic versioning rules to increment the CONSTITUTION_VERSION whenever you apply changes. This ensures you maintain a clear history of governance updates as principles evolve.

You propagate constitution amendments by updating the core memory file. The system automatically applies these changes across all dependent templates and artifacts to ensure governance remains consistent.

If placeholders remain in your project constitution, the system validates the file to detect them. It reports any unresolved placeholders and deferred items for future updates to ensure complete governance.

You need to update your project constitution when your current principles and governance change. Reconciling placeholders with actual project values ensures your templates and artifacts reflect accurate governance.
