SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Learning a new spec-driven development workflow is hard without hands-on practice. This Skill teaches the OpenSpec change lifecycle by walking you through a real task in your own codebase, from proposal to archive, with explanations at every step. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Guided Workflow Cycle: Walks through explore, change creation, proposal, specs, design, tasks, implementation, and archiving with narration. - Codebase Task Discovery: Scans for TODOs, missing error handling, untested functions, and debug artifacts to suggest starter tasks. - Scope Guardrails: Gently steers users toward small tasks suitable for a first run-through while respecting their final choice. - Use Case: A developer new to OpenSpec picks a small fix in their repo, and the Skill creates the change container, drafts proposal and spec artifacts, implements the tasks, and archives the completed change while teaching each command. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to walk you through your first OpenSpec change using a small task in this repository.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I learn the OpenSpec workflow for the first time?▼

Run the onboarding flow, which walks you through a full change cycle on a real task in your codebase. It covers explore, proposal, specs, design, tasks, implementation, and archiving with explanations at each phase.

How does OpenSpec onboarding pick a task to work on?▼

It scans your codebase for TODO and FIXME comments, missing error handling, untested functions, any types, and debug artifacts, then checks recent git history. It presents three to four scoped suggestions, or you can describe your own task.

Does the OpenSpec onboarding skill require the openspec CLI?▼

Yes, the openspec CLI must be installed before starting. The skill runs a preflight version check and stops with an install prompt if the CLI is not found on your system.

Can I use OpenSpec onboarding with a registered store?▼

Yes, if your work lives in a registered store, the skill discovers store ids with openspec store list --json and appends --store <id> to all spec and change commands for the rest of the workflow.

What happens if I stop the OpenSpec tutorial halfway through?▼

Your change is saved at the changeRoot reported by openspec status. You can resume later with /opsx-continue for artifact creation or /opsx-apply to jump to implementation if tasks already exist.

What if my chosen task is too large for a first OpenSpec run?▼

The skill applies a soft scope guardrail, suggesting you slice the task smaller or pick another suggestion. You can override and proceed anyway, but it warns the cycle will take longer.
