FAQPage Schema

How do I start a new OpenSpec change with an artifact workflow?▼

To start an OpenSpec change, you provide a descriptive name so the tool can draft a kebab-name, scaffold the change directory, and present the first-artifact template without executing any artifacts automatically.

What is guided scaffolding in OpenSpec change management?▼

Guided scaffolding in OpenSpec change management creates the change directory structure and presents first-artifact instructions based on a selected workflow schema, ensuring consistent setup while keeping the user in control of artifact execution.

Can I select a specific workflow schema for my OpenSpec change?▼

Yes, you can request a specific workflow schema for your OpenSpec change. If you do not specify one, the system requires and applies a default workflow schema to guide the artifact creation process.

Does the OpenSpec change scaffolder automatically execute artifacts?▼

No, the OpenSpec change scaffolder does not execute artifacts automatically. It scaffolds the change directory and presents first-artifact instructions and status to guide you through artifact creation manually.

How do I check the status of my OpenSpec artifact workflow?▼

You can check the status of your OpenSpec artifact workflow using the provided status and instruction commands, which guide you through artifact creation and help maintain momentum after the initial scaffolding.

What are the limitations of using automated scaffolding for OpenSpec changes?▼

The limitation of automated scaffolding for OpenSpec changes is that it only sets up the directory and presents instructions; it requires manual execution of artifacts and relies on a default workflow schema if one is not specified.
