SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill eliminates the tedious manual work of setting up structured OpenSpec changes for new features, bug fixes, or product modifications, removing the need to memorize CLI commands or workflow schema details.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Guided workflow selection: Automatically uses the default OpenSpec schema or applies a user-specified custom schema when requested.
  • Automated change scaffolding: Generates a properly structured change directory with all required artifact placeholders in a single step.
  • Use case: For example, a developer working on a new user authentication feature can use this skill to quickly set up the change, check which artifacts need to be created first, and get the template for the initial proposal without manual configuration.

Quick Start

Tell the skill the name or description of the change you want to build, and it will set up the OpenSpec change directory, show the current artifact status, and provide the template for the first required artifact.

FAQPage Schema
How do I scaffold a new OpenSpec change directory for a feature?

To scaffold an OpenSpec change directory, provide the change name or description to the guided workflow. It automatically generates the properly structured directory with all required artifact placeholders in a single step.

What is OpenSpec change management and when do I need it?

OpenSpec change management is a structured, artifact-driven workflow for software engineering teams. You need it when developing new features, fixing bugs, or modifying products to enforce correct setup without memorizing CLI commands.

Can I use a custom schema for OpenSpec artifact workflow scaffolding?

Yes, you can use a custom schema for OpenSpec artifact workflow scaffolding. The guided workflow defaults to the standard OpenSpec schema but applies a user-specified custom schema when requested during setup.

How do I get the initial proposal template for an OpenSpec change?

To get the initial proposal template, tell the workflow the change description. It scaffolds the change directory, displays the current artifact status, and provides the template for the first required artifact.

Do I need to memorize OpenSpec CLI commands to create feature scaffolding?

No, you do not need to memorize OpenSpec CLI commands for feature scaffolding. The guided workflow eliminates manual configuration overhead by handling schema selection, directory scaffolding, and template retrieval automatically.
