SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Create a new OpenSpec change using the experimental artifact workflow.

It provides a deterministic, guided process for features, fixes, or modifications, including naming, schema selection, and first-artifact instructions.

It uses a default workflow by default but supports an explicit --schema override and guides you from input to the first artifact.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured onboarding for new changes with consistent governance.
  • Automatic derivation of a kebab-case name from user input.
  • Guided workflow: schema selection, artifact sequencing, and status checks.

Quick Start

Describe what you want to build to begin the workflow and I'll scaffold the change without creating artifacts yet.

FAQPage Schema
How do I start a new OpenSpec change for a feature or fix?

To start a new OpenSpec change, describe what you want to build and the workflow scaffolds the change deterministically, deriving a kebab-case name and guiding schema selection without creating artifacts yet.

What is the artifact workflow used for in OpenSpec change management?

The artifact workflow provides a structured, guided process for creating OpenSpec changes, ensuring consistent governance through schema selection, artifact sequencing, and status checks from initial input to the first artifact.

Can I override the default schema when creating an OpenSpec change?

Yes, you can override the default schema during OpenSpec change creation by using an explicit --schema override, allowing you to customize the guided workflow for specific modifications or fixes.

How does the OpenSpec workflow derive change names from user input?

The OpenSpec workflow automatically derives a kebab-case name from your natural language input, ensuring consistent naming conventions across features and modifications without requiring manual formatting.

Does the OpenSpec change creation process generate artifacts immediately?

No, the OpenSpec change creation process scaffolds the change without creating artifacts initially, providing first-artifact instructions and guiding you through schema selection before actual artifact generation begins.
