- - Formalizing existing project standards into a constitution
- - Updating governance principles for an evolving project
- - Before writing specifications for a new feature area
-
- ## Distinction from Specification
-
- - **Constitution**: Defines project-wide governance (HOW the project operates)
- - **Specification**: Defines feature-level requirements (WHAT to build)
-
- ## Process
-
- 1. **Gather context** - Assess project type, audience, compliance needs, existing standards
- 2. **Define dev guidelines** - Coding standards, branching strategy, review process
- 3. **Set code quality standards** - Linting, formatting, complexity limits, naming conventions
- 4. **Establish testing policies** - Coverage thresholds, test types, CI requirements
- 5. **Specify UX requirements** - Accessibility, responsiveness, performance budgets
- 6. **Define performance benchmarks** - Load times, throughput, memory limits
- 7. **Establish security constraints** - Auth, data handling, vulnerability policies
- 8. **Document architecture principles** - Modularity, dependencies, extensibility
- 9. **Human review** - Approve constitution before proceeding
-
- ## Tool Use
-
- Invoke via babysitter process: `methodologies/spec-kit/spec-kit-specification` (constitution phase)
- Full pipeline: `methodologies/spec-kit/spec-kit-orchestrator`
