Automating feature planning for OpenSpec creates a dedicated Git worktree, gathers architecture context to avoid conflicts, scaffolds proposal documents and tasks, validates them, and pushes the branch for approval.

An OpenSpec proposal is a structured planning document containing specs, tasks, and optional design documents needed to obtain feature approval. You need one when adding new features to software projects using OpenSpec to coordinate and streamline stakeholder review.

Yes, Git worktree isolates feature proposal drafting from your main branch. The process creates a dedicated worktree to scaffold the OpenSpec proposal, commit changes, and push the branch, keeping planning separate from your main codebase.

Yes, OpenSpec proposal generation analyzes existing project architecture and specs to avoid conflicts. It retrieves contextual data about in-progress work before scaffolding the new feature proposal, ensuring new specs align with current project structures.

The best way to streamline feature specification drafting and approval workflows is automating OpenSpec proposal generation. It eliminates manual drafting by creating specs and tasks from a feature description, then commits and pushes them to Git for stakeholder review.

No, you do not need to provide existing coordination resources to generate an OpenSpec proposal, but they may be used if available. The process requires a feature description and automatically retrieves architecture context to scaffold the proposal, specs, and tasks.
