FAQPage Schema
How do I start a new spec change in a colonykit spec?▼

To start a new spec change in a colonykit spec, run `co:change <slug>` to open a `CHANGE.md` file and create a task-thread. This initiates a proposal or change-in-flight for your project.

What is the best way to create a task-thread for a spec proposal?▼

Creating a task-thread for a spec proposal is handled automatically by the colonykit change process. Running the change command generates a slug and establishes the thread on spec/<slug>.

Do I need a running colony MCP server to create a spec change?▼

Yes, you need a running colony MCP server to create a spec change. The process also checks preconditions to ensure a valid `SPEC.md` file exists before opening a new proposal.

Can I automatically generate a slug for my colonykit proposal?▼

Yes, you can automatically generate a slug for your colonykit proposal. If you do not provide a slug explicitly, one is generated automatically from your description to create the task-thread.

Why does my spec change creation fail without a SPEC.md file?▼

Spec change creation fails because it performs preconditions checking to ensure a valid `SPEC.md` file exists. This file is required to open a `CHANGE.md` file and proceed with the proposal.
