FAQPage Schema

How do I start a new OpenSpec change for a development workflow?▼

To start a new OpenSpec change, you use a scaffolding process to create the change directory, determine the correct workflow schema, and receive instructions for the first artifact. This ensures a structured, artifact-driven approach to development.

What is artifact-driven change management in software engineering?▼

Artifact-driven change management is a process where development changes are structured around creating specific artifacts. OpenSpec implements this by guiding developers through schema-determined artifact creation within a scaffolded directory for each new feature or modification.

Do I need the openspec CLI installed to create new change directories?▼

Yes, the openspec CLI must be installed and configured to create new change directories. The system relies on this CLI to handle directory scaffolding, schema determination, and initial artifact generation for the development workflow.

How do I scaffold a new authentication module using OpenSpec?▼

To scaffold an authentication module, you initiate a new OpenSpec change which creates the required directory structure and provides instructions for the first artifact needed to begin documenting and implementing the module.

Can I determine the correct workflow schema when initiating a new change?▼

Yes, when initiating a new change, the system helps determine and apply the correct workflow schema. This schema guides the artifact management process to ensure you create the appropriate initial artifacts for your specific feature.
