SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It helps you start a new OpenSpec change with the correct workflow, generate the right artifact plan, and obtain the template for the first artifact without guessing.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Guided change setup: Creates a scaffolded change directory using the provided change name (kebab-case) or a derived name from your description.
  • Workflow schema selection: Uses the default schema unless you explicitly request a specific schema or ask to list available workflows.
  • Artifact readiness and templates: Checks artifact status and returns the instructions/template for the first “ready” artifact so you can draft it immediately.
  • Guardrails: Prevents creating artifacts prematurely and stops after presenting the first artifact’s template.

Quick Start

Tell the AI what you want to build or fix, and include a kebab-case change name if you already have one, and it will scaffold the OpenSpec change and show the first artifact template to start drafting.

Frequently Asked Questions about openspec-new-change

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I start a new OpenSpec change for a feature or bug fix?▼

To start an OpenSpec change, provide a kebab-case name or a description of the feature or bug fix. The workflow scaffolds the change directory and presents the template for the first ready artifact to begin drafting immediately.

What is artifact-driven workflow scaffolding in OpenSpec?▼

Artifact-driven workflow scaffolding creates a structured change directory and checks artifact readiness step-by-step. It presents the template for the first ready artifact, ensuring you draft changes sequentially without creating artifacts prematurely.

How do I select a specific workflow schema for an OpenSpec change?▼

Schema selection uses the default workflow schema automatically unless you explicitly request a specific schema or ask to list available workflows. You must use correct schema handling via openspec CLI flags during change setup.

Does OpenSpec change scaffolding stop after generating the first artifact template?▼

Yes, the OpenSpec change scaffolding enforces strict stopping after presenting the first artifact's template. This guardrail prevents creating artifacts prematurely and ensures you complete the current drafting step before proceeding.

Do I need a valid kebab-case name to scaffold an OpenSpec change?▼

You need a valid kebab-case name for the change directory, or the workflow can derive one from your description. Correct naming is required for proper scaffold creation and openspec CLI automation.
