SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the creation of a single, governance-ready project constitution derived from product and UI specification files so teams have clear, actionable standards for architecture, code quality, design, security, and deployment without manual synthesis.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Specification analysis: Reads product and UI spec files from the spec-kit memory locations and extracts technology choices, architecture, design tokens, accessibility requirements, and non-functional constraints.
  • Principles generation: Produces specific, actionable architecture, code quality, design, security, and DevOps principles (MUST/SHOULD/MAY) with rationales and cross-references to spec sections.
  • Merge & persistence: Compares the generated constitution with any existing constitution file, summarizes conflicts, and can save the agreed document to the specified memory path.
  • Use Case: During project setup, run this Skill to convert scattered product and UI decisions into an enforceable development constitution that guides the entire lifecycle.

Quick Start

Generate a project constitution by reading .specify.specify/memory/product-spec.md and .specify.specify/memory/ui-spec.md and save the result to .specify.specify/memory/constitution.md.

Frequently Asked Questions about speckit-initiate

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a project constitution from product and UI specifications?▼

A project constitution codifies specific, actionable standards for architecture, code quality, design, security, and DevOps. It ensures scattered product and UI decisions become enforceable development rules with rationales and spec cross-references.

Can I merge a newly generated constitution with an existing one?▼

Yes, the constitution generation process compares newly extracted principles with any existing constitution.md file, summarizes conflicts, and saves the agreed, merged document to the specified spec-kit memory path.

Does constitution generation work with any repository layout?▼

No, this governance constitution generation requires a spec-kit repository layout containing .specify.specify/memory/product-spec.md and ui-spec.md files to extract technology choices, architecture, and accessibility requirements accurately.

What is a governance-ready project constitution used for?▼

A governance-ready project constitution translates product and UI specifications into enforceable MUST, SHOULD, and MAY principles, guiding the entire development lifecycle with clear architecture, code quality, security, and deployment policies.

When do I need to create a project constitution during setup?▼

You need to create a project constitution during initial project setup when you want to convert scattered product and UI specification decisions into a single, actionable document that enforces development standards across the lifecycle.
