openspec-new-change

To scaffold an OpenSpec change, run the new change command with a chosen name. It generates a structured directory skeleton at openspec/changes/<name> with guided prompts for naming, workflow schema selection, and first-artifact instructions.

The OpenSpec artifact-driven workflow standardizes feature development, fixes, and modifications by guiding teams through structured artifact sequencing. It is needed when aligning teams on consistent change management scaffolds to reduce setup time.

Yes, you can request a specific workflow schema during the scaffolding process. The system uses the default workflow schema for artifact sequencing unless a specific schema is explicitly requested.

After creating the OpenSpec change directory, follow the guided prompts to define the workflow and obtain first-artifact instructions. These prompts provide status checks and guardrails for standardizing the initial workflow setup.

The best way to manage OpenSpec change scaffolding is using guided workflows that prompt for naming and schema selection. This ensures consistent artifact sequencing across feature, fix, and modification requests while maintaining status checks.

OpenSpec change scaffolds need status checks and guardrails to keep teams aligned on artifact sequencing. This standardizes the initial workflow, preventing inconsistencies when creating structured change directories for feature development.
