SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

OpenSpec users often need to draft complete change proposals that include multiple artifacts and a clear implementation path. This skill generates all required artifacts in one step to accelerate planning and alignment.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Single-step proposal generation producing core artifacts such as proposal.md, design.md, and tasks.md.
  • Guided workflow for creating and implementing a change using the OpenSpec CLI.
  • Use cases include product teams proposing new features, engineers scoping work, and design leads aligning on requirements.

Quick Start

Describe the change you want and run the OpenSpec CLI to scaffold all artifacts in one step.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a complete change proposal in one step?

To generate a complete change proposal in one step, describe your build and run the OpenSpec CLI to scaffold all artifacts. This produces design specs, proposal files, and tasks simultaneously to accelerate planning.

What artifacts are included in an OpenSpec change proposal?

An OpenSpec change proposal includes proposal.md, design.md, and tasks.md. These core artifacts are generated together to provide a complete implementation path and align product teams on requirements.

Do I need the OpenSpec CLI to scaffold design specs and tasks?

Yes, you need the OpenSpec CLI to scaffold design specs and tasks. The CLI automates artifact generation and instructs on the creation sequence and status checks required for a complete change proposal.

What is the best way to draft design specs and tasks for a new feature?

The best way to draft design specs and tasks for a new feature is using a single-step proposal generator. This approach scaffolds all required artifacts at once, ensuring alignment between design and implementation paths.

Can I use OpenSpec to scope work and align on requirements with engineering teams?

Yes, you can use OpenSpec to scope work and align on requirements with engineering teams. It generates a complete change proposal including design specs and tasks, enabling engineers and design leads to review a unified implementation path.
