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.
