Can I use a custom schema for OpenSpec change creation instead of the default?

Yes, you can select a user-specified schema to override the default workflow schema when initiating a new OpenSpec change for features or modifications.

What's the best way to structure a new modification in OpenSpec?

The best way to structure a new modification is using the artifact scaffolding workflow, which generates the required directory structure and provides instructions for the initial artifact proposal.

Why does OpenSpec generate an initial artifact when starting a change?
