SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

New contributors and teams often struggle to learn a project's decision workflow and tooling without doing real work; this Skill provides a guided, hands-on walkthrough that teaches the OpenSpec cycle while operating in the user's actual codebase.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Step-by-step guided onboarding that walks through explore, propose, spec, design, tasks, apply, and archive phases.
  • Creates real change artifacts (proposal, specs, design, tasks) in openspec/changes and integrates with the OpenSpec CLI to implement and archive changes.
  • Interactive teaching with pauses for user confirmation, scope guards, and light narration, ideal for developer onboarding, pairing sessions, and team process introductions.

Quick Start

Start an interactive onboarding by asking the assistant to run the openspec-onboard workflow and guide me through creating, implementing, and archiving a small change using the OpenSpec CLI.
