SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

OpenSpec change management can be complex and slow without a structured, artifact-driven workflow. This skill provides a guided mechanism to bootstrap new OpenSpec changes with a standardized scaffold, ensuring clear ownership, traceability, and a repeatable process.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Guides users to create a scaffolded OpenSpec change at openspec/changes/<name>/ with an associated workflow schema and status checks.
  • Enables deterministic artifact sequencing (proposal, design, implementation) and easy progression from initial request to ready artifacts.
  • Useful for product teams, engineers, and designers who want a consistent, auditable process for new features and fixes.

Quick Start

Provide a clear change name and description to begin the OpenSpec artifact workflow.

Frequently Asked Questions about openspec-new-change

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a structured OpenSpec change for a new feature request?▼

To create an OpenSpec change, provide a clear name and description to generate a scaffolded directory at openspec/changes/<name>/ with an associated workflow schema and status checks.

What is the artifact workflow process for OpenSpec change management?▼

The artifact workflow sequences deterministically from proposal to design to implementation, enabling stepwise artifact creation, review, and tracking without committing artifacts until ready.

Can I bootstrap OpenSpec changes for product fixes without manual setup?▼

Yes, bootstrapping OpenSpec changes for product fixes automates scaffold creation, schema handling, and status checks, ensuring clear ownership and traceability without manual setup.

Does the OpenSpec artifact workflow commit artifacts automatically during creation?▼

No, the OpenSpec artifact workflow provides explicit guidance for the first artifact and ensures scaffold creation and status checks without committing any artifacts.

What do I need to start the OpenSpec artifact workflow for project management?▼

You need to provide a valid change name and description to initiate the OpenSpec artifact workflow, which then handles schema setup, scaffold creation, and status tracking.

Why use a scaffolded artifact workflow for OpenSpec change management?▼

A scaffolded artifact workflow ensures a standardized, auditable process with deterministic sequencing, making change management structured and repeatable for product teams and engineers.
