openspec-onboard

Onboard new developers by guiding them through a complete change cycle in their own codebase, from task selection to archiving. This workflow teaches essential commands and artifact creation, ensuring developers understand codebase management processes.

The OpenSpec workflow is a codebase management process that guides users through creating proposals, specs, designs, and tasks. It integrates directly with your project to facilitate artifact generation and track changes from proposal to archiving.

Start your first OpenSpec workflow by running the onboarding skill, which identifies a small actionable task from your codebase. It then provides step-by-step instruction to generate artifacts, implement the change, and archive it.

Yes, you need the OpenSpec CLI to execute commands and interact with your project during the workflow. The CLI facilitates task selection, artifact creation, and the archiving of completed changes within your codebase.

Yes, you can use the OpenSpec workflow to fix a small bug by selecting it as an actionable task. The workflow walks you through creating the necessary proposals and specs, implementing the fix, and archiving the change.

This onboarding skill focuses on guiding users through a single complete change cycle using a small task. It requires the OpenSpec CLI and existing project dependencies to function, limiting its use to existing codebase environments.
