FAQPage Schema

What is the OpenSpec workflow and when do I need it for development process management?▼

OpenSpec workflow is a structured development process for managing code changes from proposal to archived history. You need it when onboarding developers to a standardized lifecycle covering specs, designs, tasks, and implementation tracking.

How do I learn the OpenSpec methodology for my existing codebase?▼

To learn OpenSpec methodology, use a guided interactive onboarding experience that scans your repository, suggests suitable small tasks, and walks you through creating proposals, specs, designs, tasks, implementation, and archiving step by step.

Can I use guided onboarding to suggest relevant development tasks from my repository?▼

Yes, guided onboarding analyzes your codebase to suggest relevant, small tasks tailored to your repository. This helps new developers practice the structured workflow immediately on suitable code changes without manual task hunting.

What is the best way to onboard a new developer to a structured code management workflow?▼

The best way to onboard developers is through an interactive guided tutorial that teaches the code management process by doing. It explains each step—from change creation to artifact generation and archiving—through practical application on real tasks.

What artifacts does the OpenSpec workflow generate during a change lifecycle?▼

The OpenSpec workflow generates proposals, specs, designs, and tasks as artifacts during a change lifecycle. These artifacts document the structured development process before implementation and final archiving of the completed work.

Do I need prior OpenSpec experience to start a guided onboarding workflow?▼

No prior OpenSpec experience is needed. The guided onboarding workflow teaches the methodology interactively by explaining each step's purpose, making it suitable for new developers joining teams using the structured development process.
