openspec-onboard

The OpenSpec workflow is a structured development process for codebase management that cycles through codebase analysis, task selection, and artifact generation for proposals, specs, designs, and tasks before implementation and archiving.

You can learn the OpenSpec development process step by step through a guided tutorial that walks you through exploring, creating, proposing, specifying, designing, tasking, applying, and archiving changes within your actual project.

Yes, the OpenSpec onboarding process performs actual operations like creating directories and generating artifact files within your real codebase, allowing you to learn the workflow by fixing a small bug or adding a minor feature.

The best way to onboard a new developer to a structured development process is through hands-on guided practice, letting them complete a full workflow cycle from proposal to archiving using a real codebase and the OpenSpec CLI.

Yes, you need the OpenSpec CLI installed in your project environment, as it facilitates the implementation and archiving of changes while generating the necessary proposal, spec, design, and task artifacts.
