FAQPage Schema
How do I onboard new developers to the OpenSpec change lifecycle in a codebase?

You can onboard developers by running a guided OpenSpec workflow that walks them through preflight checks, change creation, proposals, specs, design, tasks, application, and archival history with narrated, hands-on exercises in a real repository environment.

What is the OpenSpec change lifecycle and how does the CLI manage it?

The OpenSpec change lifecycle is an end-to-end process managed via the CLI that takes a codebase change from preflight checks and proposal creation through specs, design, task generation, application, and final archival history.

Do I need a specific repository environment to start OpenSpec onboarding?

You need a typical repository environment where you can execute OpenSpec CLI commands, allowing the onboarding workflow to perform hands-on exploration, task creation, and artifact generation directly within your actual codebase.

What artifacts does the OpenSpec workflow generate during the onboarding process?

The OpenSpec onboarding workflow generates structured artifacts including proposals, specs, design documents, task lists, and an archive history to teach the complete change lifecycle.

Can I learn OpenSpec end-to-end change management without prior CLI experience?

Yes, the guided onboarding provides narrated explanations and structured phases from preflight to archive, enabling new users to learn end-to-end change management hands-on even without prior CLI experience.

Why should I use a guided onboarding workflow for OpenSpec instead of self-guided exploration?

A guided onboarding workflow reduces time and confusion by providing structured, hands-on training through the complete OpenSpec change lifecycle, ensuring users learn artifact generation and CLI commands efficiently.
