FAQPage Schema
What is the OpenSpec change management workflow for new contributors?

The OpenSpec change management workflow is a structured process guiding new contributors through a complete lifecycle, from drafting a proposal and specifications to design, task implementation, and archiving changes within a real codebase.

How do I start creating a new change and proposal in OpenSpec?

You start creating a new change in OpenSpec by initiating a guided workflow that scaffolds the proposal stage, captures specifications and design details, generates a task list, and walks you through implementation to final archiving.

Can I practice the OpenSpec workflow in a real repository before contributing?

Yes, you can practice the OpenSpec workflow in a real repository, as this guided onboarding leverages actual workflow scaffolding to deliver hands-on, end-to-end change management experience for new contributors.

What's the best way to manage specifications and task lists for an OpenSpec proposal?

The best way to manage specifications and task lists for an OpenSpec proposal is by following a guided, stage-by-stage workflow that systematically captures design specs and tracks implementation tasks before archiving.

Does OpenSpec onboarding include safety pauses during the change implementation process?

Yes, OpenSpec onboarding includes safety-conscious workflows with built-in stages, pauses, and clear exit paths to ensure a controlled learning experience while implementing changes across the framework.

Do I need a real codebase to learn the OpenSpec change lifecycle?

You need a real codebase to learn the OpenSpec change lifecycle effectively, because this onboarding experience applies actual OpenSpec workflow scaffolding to practice creating, implementing, and archiving changes end-to-end.
