SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Automates scaffolding a new OpenSpec change workflow from user input, reducing manual setup and ensuring a repeatable process for feature work and fixes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Guided change scaffolding: creates a structured change layout under openspec/changes/<name>, ready for artifact work.
  • Artifact-driven workflow: supports an artifact-centric process with optional schemas and status checks.
  • Fosters consistency: enforces naming conventions and a repeatable kickoff procedure for teams.

Quick Start

Provide a clear change name in kebab-case to scaffold a new OpenSpec change.

FAQPage Schema
How do I scaffold a new OpenSpec change workflow for feature planning?

Scaffolding an OpenSpec change workflow requires providing a kebab-case change name to generate a structured skeleton under openspec/changes/<name>. This automates the directory layout and enforces naming conventions without creating the actual artifacts.

What is an artifact-driven workflow and when do I need it for software fixes?

An artifact-driven workflow structures feature work or fixes around sequential artifacts with optional schemas and status checks. You need it when planning changes that require a repeatable kickoff procedure and consistent artifact sequencing across a software team.

Does the OpenSpec change scaffolding process create artifacts automatically?

No, the OpenSpec scaffolding process does not create artifacts automatically. It generates a change skeleton, enforces a default workflow schema, and reports readiness, leaving the actual artifact creation to the user.

How do I ensure consistent naming conventions when creating OpenSpec changes?

To ensure consistent naming conventions when creating OpenSpec changes, use the guided scaffolding process which enforces kebab-case naming. This reduces manual setup errors and standardizes the kickoff procedure for software teams.

Can I select a custom schema during the OpenSpec change workflow setup?

Yes, the OpenSpec change workflow setup supports optional schema selection during the guided scaffolding process. This allows teams to apply specific artifact-driven schemas while maintaining a default workflow structure.

What are the limitations of using a CLI scaffold for OpenSpec change workflows?

A limitation of using a CLI scaffold for OpenSpec change workflows is that it only generates the directory layout and reports readiness. It does not create the actual artifacts, requiring manual artifact population afterward.
