openspec-new-change

You can scaffold a new change directory by initiating a change within the OpenSpec system, which uses an artifact-driven workflow to create structured development processes and manage dependencies automatically.

An artifact-driven workflow for change management is a structured development process that uses predefined templates and schemas to guide modifications. It ensures feature development and bug fixes follow a consistent, structured approach across the project lifecycle.

Yes, you need the OpenSpec CLI to initiate a new change. The Skill requires the CLI to scaffold new change directories and manage artifact dependencies during the structured workflow initiation process.

You select the appropriate workflow schema during the guided workflow initiation process. The Skill helps you define the change name and choose the correct schema, providing necessary templates for the initial artifacts.

Yes, you can use automated naming when starting a structured development process. The Skill supports automatic naming and schema selection to streamline the initiation of new changes within the OpenSpec system.

The schema-based workflow requires strict adherence to the predefined artifact structure and dependencies. It is not suitable for ad-hoc edits, as it enforces a structured development process designed for formal change management and scaffolded directories.
