To scaffold a new OpenSpec change, you use a guided step-by-step workflow to name the change and generate the initial artifact directories. This structured approach ensures consistent setup for features, fixes, or modifications.

An OpenSpec artifact workflow is a structured process for managing change creation through defined steps. You need it when initiating features or modifications to ensure consistent development and progress tracking across artifacts.

Yes, you can select a specific workflow schema when creating an OpenSpec change. The process allows you to use default schemas or explicitly choose one to guide the generation of artifacts like proposals.

Yes, OpenSpec change management requires the openspec CLI to manage change directories and handle artifact generation. The CLI provides the underlying scaffolding needed to initiate and track the structured workflow.

You track artifact status in an OpenSpec change workflow through built-in progress visibility. The system provides tracking for your change artifacts as you complete each step of the structured development process.

The first artifact generated when initiating a new OpenSpec change is typically a proposal. The system provides instructions for creating this initial artifact immediately after you name and scaffold the change.
