SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines the creation of new changes within the OpenSpec workflow, guiding users through a structured, artifact-driven approach for features, fixes, or modifications.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Initiate New Changes: Starts a new change with a user-defined name or description.
  • Workflow Schema Selection: Defaults to a standard schema but allows for explicit selection or discovery of alternative workflows.
  • Artifact Guidance: Provides instructions for the first artifact needed to progress the change.
  • Use Case: A developer needs to implement a new user authentication feature. They use this Skill, providing "add user authentication" as input, and the Skill scaffolds the change, identifies the first artifact (e.g., a proposal), and provides the template for it.

Quick Start
