SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Creating cohesive change proposals involves drafting multiple documents (proposal, design, tasks) and coordinating artifact generation, which is time-consuming and error-prone.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Generates proposal.md (what & why), design.md (how), and tasks.md (implementation steps) from a user request.
  • Orchestrates one-step scaffold and tracking via the openspec CLI to keep artifacts in sync.
  • Use case: a developer or product manager submits a feature idea and receives a complete, ready-to-implement proposal set.

Quick Start

Describe a change you want to work on in kebab-case or plain description to generate a full proposal immediately.

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

You can automatically generate a complete change proposal by submitting a plain description of your desired feature. This triggers automated artifact generation, producing proposal.md, design.md, and tasks.md files simultaneously for immediate implementation.

What is the best way to automate design spec and proposal creation for new features?

Automating design spec creation is best handled by generating a full proposal set from a single feature request. This ensures your proposal, design, and tasks artifacts remain perfectly in sync without manual drafting or coordination errors.

How do I create implementation tasks and design docs from a plain text feature description?

You can create implementation tasks and design docs by inputting a kebab-case or plain description of your change. The system automatically drafts the what, why, how, and implementation steps into structured markdown files.

Does the openspec proposal generator keep artifact tracking in sync automatically?

Yes, the openspec proposal generator keeps artifacts in sync automatically. It orchestrates one-step scaffold generation and tracking directly via the openspec CLI to manage all generated proposal artifacts.

Can I use this automation if I only have a basic feature idea and no technical architecture?

Yes, you can use this automation with only a basic feature idea. It translates a simple plain description into a complete design specification and implementation plan, making it suitable for product managers and developers alike.
