SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

OpenSpec changes often suffer from unstructured beginnings and ad-hoc processes. This Skill provides a guided, artifact-driven workflow to scaffold a new OpenSpec change and keep development on track.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Guides deriving a kebab-case change name from user input.
  • Enables selecting an appropriate (default) workflow schema and scaffolding the change directory.
  • Shows artifact readiness and provides first-artifact instructions without creating artifacts.

Quick Start

Ask the user for a kebab-case change name and guide them through scaffolding the change using the experimental artifact workflow.

FAQPage Schema
How do I scaffold a new OpenSpec change using the artifact workflow?

To scaffold a new OpenSpec change, provide a kebab-case change name, select a default workflow schema, and the system will generate the change directory structure to initiate the artifact workflow.

What is the correct naming convention for creating an OpenSpec change?

OpenSpec changes require a kebab-case naming convention. The workflow guides you in deriving this formatted name from your input to ensure consistent change management and artifact tracking.

Do I need the OpenSpec CLI to manage artifact workflows?

Yes, the OpenSpec CLI is required to perform operations for this change management workflow. It handles scaffolding the change directory and checking artifact readiness status.

How does the OpenSpec artifact workflow handle initial artifact creation?

The workflow shows artifact readiness and provides the first-artifact template instructions without automatically creating the artifacts. This keeps the scaffolding process structured and user-driven.

Can I check artifact status before generating files in OpenSpec?

Yes, you can check artifact readiness during the OpenSpec change workflow. The system displays the current status and provides the first-artifact template without creating any actual artifact files.
