FAQPage Schema
How do I automate project documentation scaffolding for software design?

Automating project documentation scaffolding generates proposal, design, and task files simultaneously based on user requirements. This ensures consistent project structure and eliminates the friction of manually creating software design documents.

Do I need the openspec CLI to generate proposals and implementation tasks?

Yes, you need the openspec CLI installed to execute commands and manage the local change directory structure. It is required to facilitate the structured software development workflow and track artifact dependencies.

What is the best way to track artifact dependencies during feature development?

Tracking artifact dependencies is handled automatically by managing the build order of project documents. This ensures all prerequisites are met before implementation by linking proposals, design specs, and actionable tasks together.

Can I generate design specifications and actionable tasks in a single step?

Yes, generating design specifications and actionable tasks in a single step is possible by defining the feature scope. The automated workflow outputs proposal.md, design.md, and tasks.md files to ensure the project is ready for immediate development.

When should I use automated scaffolding for project documentation?

Use automated scaffolding when starting a new feature to instantly define the scope, technical design, and implementation tasks. It ensures consistent project documentation and structured workflows without manual file creation overhead.

Why use structured workflows for generating project proposals and specs?

Structured workflows for generating project proposals ensure consistent project scaffolding and manage artifact dependencies. This approach prevents missing prerequisites and keeps the technical design aligned with actionable implementation tasks.
