FAQPage Schema
How do I scaffold a new change for feature development or bug fixes?

To scaffold a new change, run the command with a desired kebab-case name to bootstrap a structured directory. This initiates the artifact workflow, creating a repeatable process for organizing new features or fixes.

What is the artifact workflow for change management?

The artifact workflow is a step-by-step process to structure feature development or bug fixes. It enforces creating a change, optional schema selection, status tracking, and retrieving first-artifact instructions to keep teams aligned.

Can I track progress after creating a new OpenSpec change?

Yes, you can check progress with status tracking after creating the change. The workflow enforces a step-by-step process that includes monitoring progress and retrieving first-artifact guidance across the change lifecycle.

Does the change scaffold support optional schema selection?

Yes, the scaffolded change directory supports optional schema selection. This allows you to specify a schema during the change creation step to better structure your feature development or modifications.

What are the limitations of using a scaffolded workflow for new changes?

The scaffolded workflow enforces a specific step-by-step process: create the change, optionally specify a schema, check status, and retrieve first-artifact instructions. Deviating from this structured lifecycle may limit its flexibility for rapid prototyping.
