SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Start a new change using the experimental artifact-driven approach to ensure consistent, guided setup for OpenSpec changes.

Core Features & Use Cases

Guided scaffolding: creates a scaffold for a new OpenSpec change with a selectable workflow/schema.
Artifact-driven steps: outlines the stage-by-stage process (determine workflow, scaffold, preview first artifact) without creating artifacts.
Guardrails: prompts for required inputs and ensures no artifacts are created until user direction is provided.

Quick Start

Provide a kebab-case change name and optional schema to scaffold the change and preview the first artifact template.

FAQPage Schema

How do I scaffold a new OpenSpec change using a structured workflow?▼

An artifact-driven workflow for OpenSpec changes enforces consistent setup by outlining stage-by-stage processes. It prompts for required inputs and presents initial artifact templates without creating artifacts until directed.

Can I preview the first artifact template before creating any files?▼

Yes, the guided workflow presents a first-artifact template preview during scaffolding. It enforces guardrails to ensure no artifacts are actually created until you provide explicit user direction.

What inputs do I need to start an OpenSpec change management workflow?▼

You need a kebab-case change name and an optional schema to start the OpenSpec change management workflow. The guided setup prompts for any additional required inputs to ensure a structured plan.

When should I use an artifact-driven approach for OpenSpec changes?▼

Use an artifact-driven approach for OpenSpec changes when initiating new features or fixes requiring a structured plan and consistent setup. It ensures guided scaffolding and stage-by-stage process adherence.

Does the OpenSpec scaffolding workflow automatically generate artifacts?▼

No, the OpenSpec scaffolding workflow does not automatically generate artifacts. It outlines artifact-driven steps and previews the initial template, but enforces guardrails to prevent creation until user direction is provided.
