SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Propose a new change quickly by generating a complete proposal package with all artifacts (proposal.md, design.md, tasks.md) in a single step, reducing manual scoping time.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • One-step proposal generation: Create proposal, design, and task documents in a single workflow.
  • Artifact scaffolding: Produces ready-to-implement artifacts with consistent structure.
  • Use Case: When a team receives a new feature request, run openspec-propose to obtain a fully drafted proposal, design, and task plan.

Quick Start

Run the openspec new change command with a descriptive name to scaffold all artifacts in one go.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a change proposal and design doc at the same time?

Generate a change proposal and design doc simultaneously by running the openspec new change command with a descriptive name to scaffold proposal.md, design.md, and tasks.md in one step.

What is the fastest way to scaffold project planning artifacts for a new feature?

The fastest way to scaffold project planning artifacts is using one-step proposal generation, which produces ready-to-implement design docs and task plans with consistent structure from a user-provided description.

Can I create a complete proposal package without manually writing each document?

Yes, you can create a complete proposal package without manual writing by providing a feature description to the CLI-guided scaffold flow, which automatically drafts all required change-management artifacts.

Does openspec-propose require any dependencies to generate task plans?

No dependencies are required to generate task plans. The tool operates independently to produce artifact metadata and expose it for downstream tasks within the project planning workflow.

What's the best way to reduce manual scoping time for change-management workflows?

To reduce manual scoping time in change-management workflows, use automated artifact scaffolding to rapidly generate end-to-end proposal packages, accelerating the transition to starting implementation.

When do I need to use a CLI-guided scaffold flow for design docs?

You need a CLI-guided scaffold flow for design docs when your team receives a new feature request and requires a fully drafted proposal, design, and task plan to begin structured implementation.
