SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill solves the friction of starting new development tasks by automating the creation of standardized project documentation, including proposals, design specifications, and implementation task lists.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Unified Artifact Generation: Automatically scaffolds a complete change directory with all necessary documentation files in one workflow.
  • Dependency-Aware Sequencing: Ensures that design and specification artifacts are generated in the correct logical order before implementation begins.
  • Use Case: When you need to add a new feature to the work order system, use this skill to generate the proposal, design, and task list, ensuring all architectural requirements are documented before writing code.

Quick Start

Use the openspec-propose skill to create a new change for adding a user authentication module to the current project.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automatically generate project proposals and design specifications for new software features?

To generate project documentation automatically, this skill scaffolds a complete change directory with proposals, design specifications, and implementation tasks in the correct logical order before writing code.

What is the best way to scaffold implementation tasks and design specs before starting development?

The best way to scaffold implementation tasks and design specs is through dependency-aware sequencing, which ensures all architectural requirements and design artifacts are generated before any implementation begins.

Do I need the openspec CLI installed to generate architecture documentation and proposals?

Yes, you need the openspec CLI installed and configured, as it is required to execute status checks and artifact creation commands that manage project scaffolding and documentation dependencies.

Can I manage artifact dependencies for software development changes in a unified workflow?

Yes, you can manage artifact dependencies in a unified workflow by automatically sequencing the generation of design specifications and implementation task lists to ensure correct logical ordering before coding starts.

When do I need to scaffold a complete change directory for adding a new software module?

You need to scaffold a complete change directory when adding a new software module, ensuring all necessary architectural requirements and proposals are documented before writing the actual implementation code.

Why does dependency-aware sequencing matter when creating design specifications and implementation task lists?

Dependency-aware sequencing matters because it prevents friction during development by ensuring design specifications are finalized in the correct logical order before implementation task lists are generated.
