What is the artifact workflow for OpenSpec change management?▼

The OpenSpec artifact workflow is a structured, step-by-step approach for creating changes. It guides you through deriving a kebab-case name, setting up the change directory, and presenting sequential artifact instructions.

Can I use attached files when creating an OpenSpec change?▼

Do I need to format my OpenSpec change name as kebab-case?▼

Yes, kebab-case formatting is required for OpenSpec change names. The workflow derives and validates the kebab-case name from your input before scaffolding the directory and surfacing the template.

Does the OpenSpec scaffolding process create artifacts immediately?▼
