openspec-onboard

The best way to learn the OpenSpec workflow is through a guided hands-on onboarding process. It reduces learning friction by walking new developers through a phase-by-phase sequence exploring proposals, specs, designs, and tasks within a real codebase.

Start OpenSpec onboarding by loading the guide and walking through all phases in your codebase. You will execute hands-on tasks to explore, propose, specify, design, and archive changes sequentially to track progress end-to-end.

A structured OpenSpec rollout creates sequential artifacts including changes, proposals, specs, designs, tasks, and archives. These artifacts integrate with OpenSpec tooling to track your onboarding progress and demonstrate the end-to-end workflow.

Yes, you can learn OpenSpec using your existing project. The onboarding workflow applies to a real codebase, allowing new team members and enthusiasts to execute hands-on tasks and reinforce learning through practical application.

OpenSpec onboarding is designed for newcomers, enthusiasts, and new team members, reducing the complexity and time needed for adoption. It satisfies structured knowledge requirements without assuming prior specification tool experience.
