To learn the OpenSpec workflow, use a guided onboarding process that walks you through a complete cycle. It helps you select a task, create proposals, write specs, implement, and archive changes directly within your codebase.

The OpenSpec change lifecycle involves selecting a codebase task, creating artifacts like proposals and design specs, implementing the change, and archiving it. This methodology turns abstract concepts into practical development steps.

Yes, you need the OpenSpec CLI installed and initialized in your project. The onboarding process interacts directly with the CLI to perform actual operations like scanning code, creating files, and archiving changes.

You scan your codebase for potential tasks by initiating the OpenSpec workflow cycle. The guided process analyzes your project files to identify actionable tasks and helps you create the corresponding specifications.

The best way to onboard new developers is to guide them through a hands-on OpenSpec workflow cycle on a small, real task. This teaches the methodology by performing actual operations like writing specs and creating files in the project.

Yes, you can use OpenSpec onboarding without prior experience. The guided workflow teaches the methodology through practical application, walking you step-by-step through writing proposals, specs, design, and tasks.
