SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps teams initiate a new OpenSpec change using the experimental artifact-driven workflow, providing a guided scaffold for features, fixes, or modifications.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Guides users to derive a kebab-case change name from a user description
  • Creates a scaffolded change directory at openspec/changes/<name>/ with the selected workflow
  • Guides artifact status checks and reveals first-artifact instructions, stopping for user direction when needed
  • Enforces a default workflow unless a specific schema is requested, and clarifies steps to complete the change

Quick Start

Describe what you want to build to begin creating a new OpenSpec change scaffold.

Frequently Asked Questions about openspec-new-change

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

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

To scaffold an OpenSpec change, provide a description of your intended modification. The workflow derives a kebab-case name and creates a structured change directory at openspec/changes/<name>/ using the selected schema.

What is the artifact-driven workflow for OpenSpec change management?▼

The artifact-driven workflow is an experimental approach that guides users through structured steps. It scaffolds the change directory, checks artifact status, retrieves first-artifact instructions, and pauses for user direction before proceeding.

How do I start a new feature or fix workflow using OpenSpec?▼

Describe what you want to build to initiate the workflow. The system enforces a default schema unless a specific one is requested, scaffolds the necessary directories, and clarifies the steps required to complete the change.

Can I choose a specific schema for my OpenSpec change?▼

Yes, you can request a specific schema for your OpenSpec change. If no schema is specified, the workflow enforces a default schema to standardize the artifact creation process across your changes.

Why does the OpenSpec workflow pause after showing the first artifact?▼

The workflow pauses to enforce waiting for user direction after presenting the first artifact. This prevents creating subsequent artifacts until you are ready, ensuring deliberate control over the change progression.
