Scaffolding an OpenSpec change involves submitting a kebab-case name or description to initiate the workflow. The system then returns a status update and the first artifact template, guiding you step-by-step without creating any artifacts.

The OpenSpec artifact workflow is a structured, non-destructive process for initiating features or fixes. It captures intent in a kebab-case name and surfaces artifact templates sequentially to plan modifications deterministically.

Yes, a kebab-case change name or description is required to begin. The workflow derives the kebab-case identifier from your input to initiate the structured change-scaffold process.

No, the OpenSpec change scaffold does not create artifacts automatically. It is a non-destructive workflow that only presents a step-by-step plan and returns the first artifact template for review.

Yes, OpenSpec workflow automation scaffolds changes for fixes, features, or modifications. It provides a guided, step-by-step approach to structure your change intent.

The best way to manage a new feature change with OpenSpec is using the experimental artifact workflow. It offers a deterministic change-scaffold process that captures intent and presents templates without applying changes.
