speckit-constitution

To update a spec-kit project constitution safely, this skill replaces template placeholders with concrete values and automatically syncs dependent plan, spec, and command template references to prevent governance drift.

Initializing project governance principles in spec-kit involves loading interactive principle inputs, overwriting the .specify/memory/constitution.md file, and applying governance versioning to maintain consistent project scaffolding.

Hook execution during constitution template synchronization runs configured extension hooks before and after the update, ensuring custom logic is applied safely while the core memory and plan templates remain internally consistent.

Unresolved bracket tokens remain in your constitution markdown file when template placeholders are not replaced with concrete values; this skill validates the file to ensure no unresolved bracket tokens remain after updates.

Yes, you can use this constitution update process for existing project scaffolding amendments, as it handles both constitution initialization and amendments by propagating changes across dependent templates with date handling.

No dependencies are required to run the spec-kit constitution update, as the skill operates independently to load, overwrite, and validate the .specify/memory/constitution.md file and sync related templates.
