SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires acfm.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill guides new users through a complete OpenSpec workflow cycle, transforming the learning curve into a hands-on, practical experience.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Guided Workflow: Walks users through creating, proposing, specifying, designing, implementing, and archiving a change.
  • Real Codebase Interaction: Performs actual code analysis and artifact creation within the user's project.
  • Use Case: A new developer joins a team using OpenSpec. This Skill onboard them by having them pick a small bug fix, go through the entire OpenSpec process for it, and learn the tool by doing.

Quick Start

Run the openspec-onboard skill to begin a guided tour of the OpenSpec workflow.

FAQPage Schema
How do I onboard a new developer to an agile OpenSpec workflow?

Onboarding a developer to the agile OpenSpec workflow involves a guided cycle of task selection, artifact generation, implementation, and archiving using real codebase manipulation to provide hands-on learning.

What is the OpenSpec development process for codebase management?

The OpenSpec development process is a structured workflow for codebase management that involves creating, proposing, specifying, designing, implementing, and archiving changes to ensure consistent artifact generation and project tracking.

Do I need the acfm CLI to generate OpenSpec specs and proposals?

Yes, you need the acfm CLI installed and configured, as it is required for spec management and executing the OpenSpec workflow commands during the artifact generation and implementation phases.

How do I execute a complete OpenSpec workflow cycle step by step?

You execute an OpenSpec workflow cycle step by step by selecting a small task, generating required artifacts like specs and designs, implementing the code changes, and finally archiving the completed work through the guided interface.

Can I use OpenSpec onboarding for a real codebase instead of a demo project?

Yes, the OpenSpec onboarding performs actual code analysis and artifact creation within your real project, allowing new team members to learn the workflow by completing a small bug fix in the actual codebase.

What are the limitations of using a guided workflow for OpenSpec onboarding?

A limitation of guided OpenSpec onboarding is the strict dependency on the acfm CLI for execution, and the process requires allocating time for a full workflow cycle rather than skipping directly to implementation.
