speckit-constitution

Automate governance constitution updates by deriving concrete values from user input or repository context to fill identified placeholders. The process ensures consistency by propagating amendments to dependent artifacts and tracking version changes.

A Sync Impact Report in project governance versioning details version changes, modified or added sections, and necessary template updates. It provides traceability after synchronizing a constitution across memory and dependent project files.

Synchronize constitution amendments by applying governance-aware versioning to propagate updates to dependent plans, tasks, and template files. This ensures all project artifacts remain consistent with the latest governance modifications.

Fill placeholders in a project constitution template by loading the existing constitution file and deriving concrete values from repository context. The system identifies specific placeholder tokens and replaces them with the derived data.

You need an existing constitution file located at .specify/memory/constitution.md to track governance amendments. The system requires this file structure to identify placeholders, ensure mandated frontmatter fields exist, and commit updated configurations.

The limitation of using placeholders for governance constitution synchronization is that the system only recognizes tokens formatted as specific uppercase identifiers. Accurate updates require mandated frontmatter fields to exist and valid user input to derive replacement values.
