SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This tool automates starting a new OpenSpec change using a structured, artifact-driven workflow, reducing setup friction and enforcing consistency.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Guided change creation: scaffolds a new OpenSpec change directory with a schema-aware workflow.
  • Schema-aware prompts: determines the appropriate workflow schema and ensures naming rules are followed.
  • Artifact status visibility: shows which artifacts are ready or required before proceeding.
  • First-artifact template: provides a ready-to-edit first artifact template without creating any files yet.

Quick Start

Initiate a new change using the experimental artifact-driven OpenSpec workflow by providing a kebab-case change name when prompted.

FAQPage Schema
How do I start a new OpenSpec change using an artifact workflow?

To start an OpenSpec change, provide a kebab-case change name. The workflow validates naming, determines the schema, scaffolds the change directory, and provides the first artifact template.

What is the artifact workflow for OpenSpec change management?

The artifact workflow is a structured process for creating feature changes or bug fixes. It uses schema-aware prompts to enforce consistency and provides visibility into required artifacts before proceeding.

Does the OpenSpec scaffolding workflow create artifact files automatically?

No, the scaffolding workflow does not create artifact files automatically. It sets up the change directory and provides a ready-to-edit first artifact template without generating the actual artifacts.

How do I ensure my change naming follows OpenSpec rules during scaffolding?

The automated workflow validates your change naming against OpenSpec rules. You must provide a kebab-case change name when prompted to satisfy the schema-aware validation requirements.

Can I check which artifacts are required before proceeding with an OpenSpec change?

Yes, the workflow provides artifact status visibility. It shows which artifacts are ready or required, ensuring you meet all structural prerequisites before moving forward with the change.
