SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill turns a vague product or engineering idea into a complete OpenSpec change proposal, reducing the back-and-forth needed to get implementation-ready work started.

Core Features & Use Cases

One-step proposal generation: Creates the proposal, design, and task artifacts needed for a new change.
Dependency-aware workflow: Follows the correct artifact order and checks what is ready before moving forward.
Implementation handoff: Prepares a structured change package that can be applied directly with the OpenSpec workflow.
Use Case: A developer asks for a new authentication feature and gets a full, organized change plan instead of drafting specs manually.

Quick Start

Ask this skill to create a new OpenSpec change for your feature idea and generate the proposal, design, and task artifacts in one pass.

FAQPage Schema

How do I generate a complete change proposal with design and task files from a feature idea?▼

To generate a change proposal, you provide a feature idea to create the proposal, design, and task artifacts sequentially. This dependency-aware workflow validates readiness before moving forward, producing an implementation-ready change package.

What is the OpenSpec change proposal workflow for scoped fixes?▼

The OpenSpec change proposal workflow is a process that transforms a scoped fix into structured proposal, design, and task artifacts. It follows a sequential artifact generation order with dependency-aware validation to prepare work for implementation handoff.

Do I need the openspec CLI installed to create change proposals and task artifacts?▼

Yes, you need the openspec CLI installed to create change proposals and task artifacts. The CLI is required to execute the sequential, dependency-aware generation workflow and validate the output artifacts before implementation.

Can I use automated proposal generation for rapid feature planning instead of drafting specs manually?▼

Yes, you can use automated proposal generation for rapid feature planning instead of drafting specs manually. It turns a vague engineering idea into an organized change plan with proposal, design, and task files generated together in one pass.

What's the best way to structure implementation handoff packages for development teams?▼

The best way to structure implementation handoff packages is to generate a complete change proposal with proposal, design, and task artifacts together. This structured change package can then be applied directly using the OpenSpec workflow.

Why does sequential artifact generation matter when creating change proposals?▼

Sequential artifact generation matters because it enforces a dependency-aware workflow that checks readiness before moving forward. This ensures the proposal, design, and task files are created in the correct order with proper validation.
