FAQPage Schema
How do I start a new OpenSpec change with a scaffold workflow?

To start a new OpenSpec change, describe the change you want to implement and the workflow guides you through creating a scaffold, checking status, and retrieving first-artifact instructions for structured change management.

What is the OpenSpec artifact workflow for change management?

The OpenSpec artifact workflow is a guided process that provides structure and guardrails to initiate changes, involving scaffold creation, status verification, and retrieving first-artifact instructions to reduce ambiguity and errors.

How do I use kebab-case naming and schema selection when creating a change scaffold?

When creating a change scaffold, the workflow satisfies prompts for kebab-case naming and optional schema selection via the openspec new change command to ensure proper formatting.

Does the OpenSpec change workflow automatically generate artifacts?

No, the OpenSpec change workflow does not auto-generate artifacts; it retrieves instructions for the first artifact to kick off work manually and checks that prerequisites are satisfied before proceeding.

Can I verify change status and dependencies before starting artifact creation?

Yes, you can show and verify change status using the workflow, ensuring that dependencies and prerequisites are satisfied before you proceed to retrieve and execute first-artifact instructions.
