FAQPage Schema
How do I onboard OpenSpec into an existing codebase?▼

Onboarding OpenSpec into an existing codebase requires a structured workflow that guides teams from preflight to archive phases. This skill provides step-by-step instructions for creating standardized proposal, design, specs, and tasks artifacts within an openspec/changes directory.

What is the OpenSpec change lifecycle and how does it work?▼

The OpenSpec change lifecycle is a structured workflow spanning preflight through archive phases that standardizes how teams manage codebase modifications. It works by guiding users through task selection and artifact creation within openspec/changes containers.

Can I use OpenSpec onboarding for new projects or is it only for existing codebases?▼

OpenSpec onboarding works for both new projects and existing codebases requiring structured change management. The workflow adapts to different project stages by guiding task selection and artifact creation through the full lifecycle from preflight to archive.

What artifacts does OpenSpec create during the onboarding workflow?▼

OpenSpec onboarding creates standardized artifacts including proposals, designs, specs, and tasks within openspec/changes containers. These artifacts structure the change management process across the full lifecycle from preflight through archive phases.

How do I start a guided OpenSpec onboarding session in my codebase?▼

Starting a guided OpenSpec onboarding session involves prompting your AI assistant to guide you through the workflow and following phase prompts from preflight to archive. This initiates the structured artifact creation process for your codebase.
