Documentation

README

Excerpt

SpecKit Workflow

The SpecKit methodology is a constitution-driven approach to feature development. It ensures consistency across features by grounding all decisions in project principles.

Core Philosophy

Constitution First: Every feature is designed against the project's constitution - a living document of principles, constraints, and standards.

Governance Over Convention: Rather than implicit patterns, SpecKit makes governance explicit through:

Constitution principles (MUST, SHOULD, MAY)
Feature specifications tied to principles
Quality checklists as "unit tests for requirements"
Consistency analysis across artifacts
