SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Propose a new change and generate all artifacts in one step to accelerate project initiation and alignment.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Creates a scaffold change with artifacts: proposal.md (what & why), design.md (how), tasks.md (implementation steps)
  • Guides the user through input when unclear and outputs a ready-to-implement plan compatible with the OpenSpec workflow
  • Integrates with the OpenSpec CLI to manage status and apply changes via /opsx:apply

Quick Start

Describe what you want to build or fix, then run the OpenSpec workflow to generate a complete proposal with design, tasks, and ready-for-implementation artifacts.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a complete change proposal with design and tasks in one step?

To generate a complete change proposal in one step, describe what you want to build and the system outputs a ready-to-implement plan with proposal, design, and tasks artifacts. This creates a scaffold compatible with the OpenSpec workflow.

What is the OpenSpec workflow for project initiation and alignment?

The OpenSpec workflow accelerates project initiation by generating change management artifacts. It creates a structured scaffold containing proposal, design, and tasks files to align your team on what to build and how to implement it.

Can I apply generated change proposals directly using the OpenSpec CLI?

Yes, you can apply generated change proposals directly using the OpenSpec CLI. The generated artifacts are fully compatible with the /opsx:apply command, allowing you to manage status and execute the implementation plan.

Do I need to manually create proposal, design, and tasks files for change management?

No, you do not need to manually create proposal, design, and tasks files for change management. The automation guides you through input and generates all required artifacts in a single step to produce a ready-to-implement plan.

What's the best way to scaffold a change proposal for a new software feature?

The best way to scaffold a change proposal is to describe the feature you want to build. The system then automatically generates the proposal, design, and tasks markdown files needed for a complete, ready-to-implement change management plan.

Why does the generated proposal include separate design and tasks artifacts?

The generated proposal includes separate design and tasks artifacts to clearly separate the what, the how, and the implementation steps. This structured artifact generation ensures comprehensive alignment and compatibility with the OpenSpec workflow.
