openspec-new-change

To start a structured change workflow, describe the feature or fix you need and the system scaffolds an OpenSpec change using a guided, step-by-step artifact process with automatic first-artifact instructions.

OpenSpec artifact workflow is a guided process for creating features, fixes, or modifications. You need it when you want schema-aware scaffolding to produce structured artifacts and track status throughout the change lifecycle.

You scaffold a new OpenSpec change with a custom schema by describing your desired modification, which triggers schema-aware scaffolding that validates inputs, guards against invalid change names, and applies optional non-default workflows.

No, you cannot use OpenSpec to scaffold changes without a default schema because the artifact workflow requires a default schema to generate scaffolding commands and first-artifact instructions before applying optional schemas.

OpenSpec change scaffolding fails with invalid change names because the workflow includes input validation that guards against invalid change names to ensure structured artifact generation proceeds correctly.

Yes, OpenSpec workflow supports tracking progress throughout the change lifecycle by providing status checks and progress tracking alongside the guided scaffolding for your features, fixes, or modifications.
