SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

New users of the OpenSpec CLI struggle to learn the spec-driven development workflow without structured guidance, leading to slow adoption and inconsistent use of the tool for codebase changes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Full Workflow Walkthrough: Step-by-step guidance through every phase of the OpenSpec change cycle, from task selection to change archiving.
  • Real Codebase Practice: Scans your actual project for small improvement tasks to practice the workflow on real work instead of hypothetical examples.
  • Built-in Guardrails: Includes scope checks for overly large tasks, graceful exit handling, and light narration to accommodate different learning paces.
  • Use Case: Ideal for engineering teams adopting OpenSpec for spec-driven development, cutting onboarding time from hours of documentation reading to a 15-20 minute hands-on session.

Quick Start

Ask the AI to guide you through your first complete OpenSpec workflow cycle using a small real task from your current codebase.
