SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Propose a fully fleshed-out change by generating all artifacts (proposal, design, and tasks) in one step, speeding up the handoff from idea to implementation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Generates a complete openspec change scaffold: proposal.md, design.md, and tasks.md
  • Automates the initial planning phase, delivering ready-to-implement specs
  • Use case: a product team describes an idea and immediately obtains a proposal plus plan for execution

Quick Start

Create a new change proposal with all artifacts generated in one step.

Frequently Asked Questions about openspec-propose

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate change proposals, design specs, and task lists all at once?

Generate change proposals, design specs, and task lists simultaneously by describing your change idea to get a complete proposal scaffold. This outputs proposal.md, design.md, and tasks.md files together, ready for immediate implementation execution.

What is the best way to automate the initial software design and specification phase?

Automate the initial software design phase by generating a complete openspec change scaffold instantly. This delivers ready-to-implement specifications and plans, speeding up the handoff from an idea to a structured execution workflow.

Do I need the openspec CLI to create a complete change proposal with design and tasks?

Yes, creating a complete change proposal requires the openspec CLI. The tool uses this CLI to output generated artifacts under the openspec/changes/<name>/ directory, accompanied by a .openspec.yaml metadata file.

Can I generate implementation-ready specifications for a product team in one step?

Yes, a product team can generate implementation-ready specifications in one step. By simply describing an idea, the tool immediately produces a proposal plus a comprehensive execution plan containing design and task artifacts.

What files are included when generating an openspec change artifact scaffold?

Generating an openspec change artifact scaffold includes proposal.md, design.md, and tasks.md files. These are output under a dedicated openspec/changes/<name>/ directory alongside a .openspec.yaml metadata file for tracking.

Why generate all change artifacts at once instead of creating specifications individually?

Generate all change artifacts at once to eliminate manual scaffolding and speed up the transition from idea to implementation. You receive a fully fleshed-out proposal with design and tasks instantly, avoiding fragmented planning steps.
