FAQPage Schema
How do I onboard new developers to an OpenSpec workflow in a real codebase?▼

OpenSpec onboarding guides new developers through a complete workflow cycle in a real codebase, using hands-on tasks and interactive narration across multiple phases from preflight to archive.

What is the OpenSpec lifecycle and how does phase-based developer training work?▼

The OpenSpec lifecycle spans preflight, task selection, explore, change creation, proposal, specs, design, tasks, apply, and archive. Developer training works by guiding teams through each phase with interactive, in-repo tasks.

Do I need a SKILL.md file to start developer onboarding in my repository?▼

Yes, you need a YAML frontmatter file named SKILL.md at the repository root with name and description. Optional assets, scripts, and references directories can also be included to support the onboarding workflow.

How to use the explain/do/show/pause interaction pattern for codebase onboarding?▼

The explain/do/show/pause pattern is an explicit interaction model used during codebase onboarding. It structures the guided workflow by alternating between explaining concepts, executing tasks, showing results, and pausing for learner input.

What templates and artifacts are generated during the OpenSpec workflow cycle?▼

The OpenSpec workflow cycle generates reusable templates and artifacts including proposals, specs, designs, and tasks. Teams can adapt these outputs to fit their specific project requirements throughout the onboarding process.

Can I use OpenSpec onboarding for interactive developer training without external dependencies?▼

Yes, OpenSpec onboarding operates entirely within your repository using an explicit interaction pattern and local directories. It requires no external dependencies, only a SKILL.md file and optional asset directories to run.
