SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill provides a guided, artifact-driven workflow to bootstrap a new OpenSpec change, enabling structured feature, fix, or modification work with repeatable steps and guardrails.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Scaffold a new OpenSpec change directory with a chosen workflow schema.
  • Guide users to assign a kebab-case change name, initialize status tracking, and retrieve the first artifact template without creating artifacts prematurely.
  • Ensure safe, recoverable iterations by prompting for confirmation before advancing to artifact creation in the OpenSpec process.

Quick Start

Run openspec new change "openspec-new-change" to scaffold a new change and review its artifact status before proceeding.

FAQPage Schema
How do I scaffold a new OpenSpec change directory for artifact-driven workflows?▼

To scaffold an OpenSpec change directory, the workflow guides you to assign a kebab-case change name, select a workflow schema, initialize status tracking, and retrieve the first artifact template while enforcing guardrails against premature artifact creation.

What is artifact-driven change management in OpenSpec?▼

Artifact-driven change management in OpenSpec is a structured process that orchestrates feature, fix, or modification work through repeatable steps, retrieving artifact templates sequentially to maintain a safe and recoverable workflow history.

Can I initialize an OpenSpec change without artifacts being created automatically?▼

Yes, the OpenSpec change orchestration enforces guardrails to prevent artifact creation until explicit user approval is given, prompting for confirmation before advancing to the artifact creation phase.

Does OpenSpec change scaffolding require a specific naming convention?▼

Yes, OpenSpec change scaffolding requires assigning a kebab-case change name to initialize the change directory and status tracking correctly within the chosen workflow schema.

What's the best way to manage structured feature modifications using OpenSpec?▼

The best way to manage structured feature modifications is using OpenSpec change orchestration to scaffold a change directory, select a workflow schema, and guide artifact retrieval with enforced guardrails for safe, recoverable iterations.
