SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the challenge of maintaining architectural consistency and project-wide standards by automating the management of the project constitution and ensuring all development templates remain synchronized with evolving principles.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Constitution Management: Automatically updates the project constitution file based on user-provided principles or inferred project context.
  • Consistency Validation: Ensures that project templates (plans, specs, tasks) are aligned with the latest governance rules and principles.
  • Use Case: When a team decides to adopt a new security principle, this Skill updates the constitution and verifies that all existing spec and task templates reflect this new requirement.

Quick Start

Use the speckit-constitution skill to update the project constitution with the new principle of mandatory unit testing for all backend endpoints.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate architectural governance and keep project standards synchronized?

To enforce governance rules automatically, this skill manages project constitutions and development templates using a structured .specify directory. It validates that plans, specs, and task templates align with the latest architectural principles and updates them accordingly.

What is a project constitution in spec-driven development?

When a team adopts a new architectural or security principle, the constitution is automatically updated based on user-provided input or inferred project context. Consistency validation then verifies that existing spec and task templates reflect this new requirement.

Do I need a specific directory structure to manage spec-driven development templates?

Updating the project constitution involves providing new principles to the skill, which then automatically updates the constitution file. It subsequently verifies that all existing spec and task templates reflect the newly adopted governance requirements.

Can I validate existing task templates against updated architectural principles?

To validate existing task templates against updated architectural principles, the system checks them using the constitution file within the .specify directory. It ensures all plans, specs, and tasks reflect the latest governance rules and principle changes.
