SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This guidance helps teams start a new OpenSpec change using an experimental artifact workflow, ensuring a clear, repeatable process for proposing features, fixes, or modifications.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Artifact-driven scaffolding to initialize new changes under openspec/changes.
  • Interactive workflow for naming, schema selection, and artifact guidance.
  • Keeps steps in a defined sequence from proposal to implementation.

Quick Start

Describe the change you want to build and I will generate the kebab-case name and the initial artifact template without creating any files yet.

FAQPage Schema
How do I start a new OpenSpec change proposal with a structured workflow?

To start an OpenSpec change proposal, describe the desired feature or fix. The workflow generates a kebab-case name and an initial artifact template without creating files, guiding you through schema selection and scaffolding.

What is artifact-driven scaffolding for OpenSpec change management?

Artifact-driven scaffolding initializes new changes under the openspec/changes directory. It provides an interactive workflow for naming, schema selection, and artifact guidance, ensuring a repeatable sequence from proposal to implementation.

Do I need the openspec CLI to create change skeletons and artifact templates?

Yes, the openspec CLI is required. The workflow follows a deterministic sequence of steps including creating the change skeleton, checking status, and generating the first artifact template through the CLI.

Can I generate an OpenSpec change name and template without writing files to disk?

Yes, you can generate a kebab-case name and the initial artifact template without creating any files yet. This allows you to review the proposed change structure before committing it to your project.

What's the best way to manage feature requests and fixes across OpenSpec projects?

Use a structured artifact workflow to manage feature requests, fixes, or modifications. It guides you through naming, schema selection, change scaffolding, and first artifact preparation in a defined sequence.

Why does my OpenSpec change workflow follow a deterministic sequence of steps?

The deterministic sequence ensures a clear, repeatable process for proposing changes. It includes creating the change skeleton, checking status, and generating the first artifact template to maintain consistency across implementations.
