SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

OpenSpec is designed to accelerate project setup by generating all required change artifacts in the correct order, eliminating manual scaffolding and sequencing tasks.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • One-click scaffold: Create a complete change scaffold with a single command.
  • Dependency-aware generation: Artifacts are created in dependency order, ensuring readiness for implementation.
  • Progress tracking: Monitor status and dependencies, re-triggering artifact builds as needed.
  • Guided automation: If input is unclear, prompts the user for clarification before proceeding.
  • Use case: A developer wants to initialize a new feature change and automatically produce all necessary artifacts for implementation without manual steps.

Quick Start

Ask for a change description, then run openspec to scaffold and generate all artifacts for that change.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate scaffolding for a new software change?

To automate software change scaffolding, provide a change description and run openspec. It generates a complete change scaffold with all necessary artifacts in a single command.

What is the best way to manage dependencies when generating change artifacts?

Dependency-aware generation ensures change artifacts are created in a deterministic build order. It reads dependencies and outputs artifact files according to schema constraints.

How does progress tracking work for generated change artifacts?

Progress tracking monitors artifact status and dependencies, re-triggering artifact builds as needed. It ensures readiness for implementation by tracking the deterministic build order.

What happens if my change description is unclear during artifact generation?

If input is unclear during artifact generation, guided automation prompts the user for clarification before proceeding. This ensures accurate scaffolding and dependency-aware artifact creation.

Do I need to manually sequence artifact files for a feature change?

No, you do not need to manually sequence artifact files. OpenSpec eliminates manual scaffolding and sequencing tasks by enforcing a deterministic artifact build order for software changes.
