FAQPage Schema
How do I start a new change in OpenSpec?

Start a new change in OpenSpec by using the command 'start new change <change-name>'. This initiates a structured, step-by-step workflow to define requirements and guide artifact-driven development.

What is artifact-driven development for codebase management?

Artifact-driven development in codebase management structures your workflow around defining change requirements and specific artifacts. OpenSpec uses this approach to provide clear tracking of change status and artifact requirements.

Do I need OpenSpec CLI to create a structured change?

Yes, OpenSpec CLI is a required dependency to initiate a new change. It provides the underlying command execution and environment support necessary for the structured change creation process.

Can I define change requirements before modifying my codebase?

Yes, OpenSpec guides you through defining change requirements before codebase modifications. It assists in determining the workflow schema and outlines necessary artifacts prior to implementation.

What is the best way to track a codebase modification workflow?

The best way to track a codebase modification workflow is using OpenSpec's structured change creation. It provides a clear view of the change's status and artifact requirements throughout the development lifecycle.
