FAQPage Schema
How do I keep a project constitution in sync with changing principles?

To keep a project constitution in sync with changing principles, you can automate updates using a skill that reads principle inputs and modifies the constitution file accordingly. This maintains consistency without manual editing.

What is a project constitution in a spec-kit environment?

A project constitution in a spec-kit environment is a foundational document defining project governance and principles. It requires synchronization with dependent templates to maintain structural consistency across the project lifecycle.

How do I automate template maintenance when project principles change?

You automate template maintenance by running conditional checks for template synchronization alongside constitution updates. This ensures dependent templates stay aligned with the latest principle definitions automatically.

Do I need manual file I/O operations to update project governance documents?

No, manual file I/O operations are not needed. The automation handles file reading and writing internally, executing hooks and conditional checks to synchronize the constitution with templates based on principle inputs.

Can I use spec-kit constitution management for dependency synchronization?

Yes, you can use spec-kit constitution management for dependency synchronization. It ensures dependent templates remain in sync with the project constitution through automated conditional checks and hook execution.

When should I update a project constitution instead of rewriting it?

You should update a project constitution when principles change incrementally rather than rewriting it. Automated updates preserve existing template dependencies while applying necessary governance modifications through conditional synchronization.
