SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill automates the rapid creation of all OpenSpec artifacts for a new change, enabling teams to move from planning to implementation without piecemeal scaffolding.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated change scaffolding: generate a complete set of OpenSpec artifacts for a new change.
  • Dependency-aware generation: artifacts are produced in the correct sequence according to dependencies.
  • Use Case: When you need to implement a new feature quickly, this tool scaffolds all required artifacts from a change description.

Quick Start

OpenSpec will guide you through scaffolding. Create a new change with:

  • openspec new change "<name>"
  • openspec status --change "<name>" --json
  • openspec instructions <artifact-id> --change "<name>" --json Then generate artifacts in dependency order until all required artifacts are done and ready for implementation.

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

Automating OpenSpec artifact scaffolding uses a CLI workflow to generate all required files from a change description. You create a change, inspect its status, and generate artifacts in dependency order until the scaffold is complete.

What is the fastest way to generate a complete set of OpenSpec artifacts?

The fastest way to generate a complete set of OpenSpec artifacts is by coordinating the OpenSpec CLI. It applies across the entire change lifecycle to emit structured artifact files quickly from instruction responses.

How does dependency-aware artifact generation work in OpenSpec?

Dependency-aware artifact generation works by respecting artifact dependencies during creation. It coordinates the OpenSpec CLI to produce and emit structured artifact files in the correct sequence required for implementation.

Do I need to manually check artifact dependencies when scaffolding an OpenSpec change?

You do not need to manually check artifact dependencies when scaffolding an OpenSpec change. The automated process respects artifact dependencies and generates the required structured files in the correct sequence.

Can I scaffold OpenSpec artifacts from a simple change description?

Yes, you can scaffold OpenSpec artifacts from a simple change description. The CLI uses the description to apply status inspection and dependency-aware generation steps, emitting all required structured artifact files.

What are the limitations of fast-forwarding OpenSpec artifact creation?

The main limitation is that fast-forwarding OpenSpec artifact creation relies entirely on the OpenSpec CLI. It scaffolds required artifacts quickly but depends on valid instruction responses to emit structured files correctly.
