speckit-constitution

To update project constitution placeholders, the skill replaces tokens in .specify/memory/constitution.md with concrete principle and governance values supplied interactively. It ensures no leftover tokens remain while applying governance versioning and date management validations.

Template sync propagates principle changes by checking alignment with dependent plan, spec, task, and command templates. It updates references automatically across all related templates to ensure consistency whenever the constitution is amended.

Yes, hook-aware execution runs configured pre and post extension hooks from .specify/extensions.yml when enabled. The skill respects hook execution paths without evaluating hook conditions itself, ensuring documentation automation integrates with existing workflows.

A sync impact report is an HTML comment written into the constitution file that details version changes, modified principles, and template update status. It provides a transparent audit trail of all modifications made during the governance versioning process.

Yes, consistency propagation checks alignment with existing plan, spec, and task templates alongside command templates. The skill updates references within these dependent files, requiring them to be present to execute full synchronization.

Leftover placeholder tokens occur when principle inputs are incomplete. The skill validates required inputs and fills placeholders in .specify/memory/constitution.md with concrete values, ensuring no tokens remain if the supplied governance values are valid.
