openspec-new-change

To create a structured OpenSpec change, describe the feature you want to implement. The workflow guides you through schema selection, change creation, status checks, and first artifact instructions with guardrails and prompts for input.

The artifact-driven workflow is a step-by-step process for organizing feature work, fixes, or modifications. It uses schema selection and status checks to scaffold changes safely, deferring artifact creation until the user explicitly authorizes the next step.

To start an OpenSpec change for a bug fix, describe the modification you want to work on. The guided process prompts you for necessary input, scaffolds the change structure, and provides first artifact instructions while deferring creation until you direct it.

Yes, the OpenSpec change workflow requires manual authorization. It provides guardrails that defer artifact creation until the user explicitly directs the next step, ensuring safe and controlled change management throughout the lifecycle.

Yes, you can use this guided workflow for feature requests, fixes, or modifications. It applies a structured step-by-step OpenSpec change lifecycle to any development task, including schema selection, status checks, and artifact instructions.

Deferring artifact creation acts as a guardrail to prevent premature scaffolding. The limitation is that the workflow pauses and cannot proceed to artifact instructions or status checks until the user provides explicit direction to authorize the next step.
