SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

OpenSpec-integrated plan writing automates the creation of detailed implementation plans by reading OpenSpec change design and writing the resulting plan back to the same OpenSpec context.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • OpenSpec-driven planning: read design from OpenSpec changes and produce structured implementation plans.
  • Task granularity: generate bite-sized steps with explicit files, modifications, and tests.
  • Traceability: writes the plan back into the OpenSpec change for audit and collaboration.

Quick Start

Run openspec-writing-plans to create a complete implementation plan from the project's OpenSpec change.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate an implementation plan from an OpenSpec change design?

To generate an implementation plan from an OpenSpec change design, the Skill reads design documentation from your openspec/changes directory and writes a structured plan back into the same context.

What is plan-driven coding and how does it maintain design-to-implementation traceability?

Plan-driven coding with OpenSpec maintains design-to-implementation traceability by automatically reading existing change designs and writing detailed implementation plans back into the openspec/changes directory for audit.

How do I write bite-sized development tasks with explicit files and tests from a design document?

Writing bite-sized development tasks with explicit files and tests from a design document is automated by generating granular steps for modifications and testing directly from the OpenSpec change context.

Can I use OpenSpec to automate implementation planning for feature development?

Yes, you can use OpenSpec to automate implementation planning for feature development by reading the project's change design and producing a structured plan written back to the OpenSpec change.

Does OpenSpec plan writing work without additional dependencies for change management?

Yes, OpenSpec plan writing works without additional dependencies for change management, relying solely on the openspec/changes directories to read designs and write plans for feature development.

What are the limitations of automating implementation planning with OpenSpec integration?

A limitation of automating implementation planning with OpenSpec integration is that it strictly applies to projects using OpenSpec for design documentation, reading and writing only within openspec/changes directories.
