What is the OpenSpec workflow and how do I get started with change management?▼

The OpenSpec workflow is a structured change management process for codebases, guiding users through creating proposals, specs, designs, and tasks to archiving. You begin by invoking a guided onboarding skill that walks you through the complete cycle interactively.

How do I create a change proposal and manage specs in my codebase?▼

You create a change proposal and manage specs by executing OpenSpec CLI commands directly on your project. A guided onboarding skill demonstrates these commands, allowing you to interact with your real codebase to reinforce learning.

Do I need the OpenSpec CLI installed to use the onboarding walkthrough?▼

Yes, you need the OpenSpec CLI installed and access to your project codebase. The onboarding requires these dependencies to execute actual change management commands and manage artifacts within your development environment.

Can I use OpenSpec onboarding for a large codebase with complex changes?▼

OpenSpec onboarding suggests small starter tasks and adjusts scope to keep the experience manageable. This scope management ensures you can learn the workflow efficiently without being overwhelmed by complex changes in large codebases.

Why should I use a guided OpenSpec workflow instead of manual change management?▼

A guided OpenSpec workflow prevents the confusion and inefficient change management new users often face. It provides step-by-step narration through the full cycle, ensuring you correctly execute CLI commands and manage artifacts.
