openspec-onboard

To get started with the OpenSpec workflow, you need the OpenSpec CLI installed. This skill provides a guided, interactive onboarding experience, walking you through task selection, artifact generation, implementation, and archiving using your actual codebase.

The OpenSpec development workflow is a structured change cycle. It guides developers through creating proposals, specs, designs, and tasks, followed by implementation and archiving to ensure systematic codebase management and clear project documentation.

Yes, you can learn OpenSpec by practicing on your own codebase. This onboarding skill operates through a conversational, step-by-step process, applying each workflow phase directly to your real-world project for immediately relevant hands-on experience.

Yes, the OpenSpec CLI is required for execution. This skill acts as an interactive guide for the OpenSpec development workflow, but it relies on the CLI to perform the actual artifact generation, implementation, and archiving operations on your codebase.

During the OpenSpec onboarding process, this skill guides you step-by-step through writing proposals, specs, and designs. It assists you in completing a full change cycle interactively, ensuring you understand each artifact generation phase before implementation.

The best way to onboard a new developer to an OpenSpec project is using this guided practice skill. It allows them to learn the entire workflow by completing a small, real task in the project, turning theoretical understanding into practical experience.
