SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Propose a complete change with all artifacts generated in one step, enabling rapid planning and structured implementation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Create a full proposal comprising proposal.md (what & why), design.md (how), and tasks.md (implementation steps)
  • Provide a ready-to-edit scaffold for engineers to review and execute
  • Integrate with the openspec CLI to generate artifacts and a changelist for implementation

Quick Start

Run the openspec command to initialize a new change proposal and generate all required artifacts in one flow.

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

To generate a change proposal, run the openspec CLI to automatically scaffold proposal.md, design.md, and tasks.md in one flow. This creates a ready-to-edit structure covering the what, why, how, and implementation steps for rapid engineering planning.

What is included in a structured change management proposal for software engineering?

A structured change management proposal includes three core artifacts: proposal.md for what and why, design.md for how, and tasks.md for implementation steps. These files provide a complete scaffold for engineers to review and execute.

Does openspec-propose require any dependencies or CLI tools to scaffold project artifacts?

The openspec-propose process integrates with the openspec CLI to generate artifacts and a changelist. It has no external dependencies, requiring only the CLI environment to initialize the proposal and scaffold the required markdown files.

Can I use this proposal generation approach for rapid product development workflows?

Yes, this proposal generation approach is designed for rapid, structured product development workflows. It provides a ready-to-implement proposal, design, and task breakdown that satisfies requirements for artifact generation and automatic scaffolding.

What's the best way to scaffold a design specification and task breakdown for a new feature?

The best way to scaffold a design specification is using the openspec CLI to initialize a new change proposal. This generates design.md and tasks.md alongside proposal.md, providing a complete, structured plan ready for immediate engineering execution.
