openspec-onboard

Guided OpenSpec onboarding walks you through drafting a proposal, writing specs, producing a design, listing tasks, implementing code, and archiving the change directly inside your repository.

The OpenSpec change lifecycle is a structured workflow process for managing codebase updates. It involves creating a change proposal, writing detailed specs, designing implementation tasks, writing the actual code, and archiving the decision for project history.

Yes, an initialized OpenSpec CLI environment and active repository access are required. The onboarding requires running openspec commands and writing actual change artifacts directly into your real codebase rather than using simulated examples.

You can draft an OpenSpec proposal for a small TODO by starting the guided onboarding. It provides step-by-step narration to help you create the change, draft the proposal, write the accompanying specs, and list the implementation tasks.

Yes, you can apply actual code changes. The onboarding works against your real repository and OpenSpec change directories, allowing you to perform actual edits and implement code fixes directly guided by the generated specs and tasks.
