SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

OpenSpec onboarding can be complex and error-prone for new users; this skill provides a guided, reproducible path that teaches the end-to-end OpenSpec change cycle, reducing setup friction and accelerating learning.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Interactive, step-by-step onboarding that walks a user through preflight checks, task selection, change creation, drafting a proposal, defining specs, designing, implementing, and archiving the change.
  • Real-world workflow in a codebase to demonstrate how OpenSpec changes are organized and reviewed, with guardrails to prevent incomplete artifacts.
  • Use Case: A developer new to OpenSpec follows the guided flow to onboard a project, create a change container, and reach an archived change record that documents decisions.

Quick Start

Begin the OpenSpec onboarding flow in your project to experience a complete change cycle from proposal to archive.
