FAQPage Schema
How do I generate change artifacts like proposals and tasks for a new software feature?

Change artifacts for new features are generated by automating the creation of proposals, designs, and tasks in a single sequential process. This approach streamlines development workflows by scaffolding all necessary documentation instantly based on artifact dependencies.

What is an openspec proposal and when do I need it for development workflows?

An openspec proposal is a structured artifact that scaffolds the initial planning phase of a software change. You need it when initiating new features to automatically generate dependent design and task documents, ensuring complete and consistent development workflow documentation.

Do I need the openspec CLI installed to automatically scaffold development change artifacts?

Yes, the openspec CLI tool must be installed and configured to automate change artifact generation. The scaffolding process relies on this CLI to sequentially generate proposals, designs, and tasks required for structured software development workflows.

Can I create design and task documents at the same time as a software change proposal?

Yes, you can scaffold design and task documents simultaneously with a proposal through automated artifact generation. This workflow follows a defined sequence based on artifact dependencies to generate all necessary change documentation in a single step.

What is the best way to scaffold documentation for a new software feature idea?

The best way to scaffold documentation is using an automated artifact generation workflow that sequentially creates proposals, designs, and tasks. This guided approach ensures all planning artifacts are consistently generated in a single step for new development changes.

Why does automated proposal generation follow a sequential workflow for software changes?

Automated proposal generation follows a sequential workflow because design and task artifacts have dependencies requiring proposals to be established first. This structured sequence ensures logical consistency and completeness when scaffolding development change documentation.
