To start a structured change workflow, you provide a feature or fix request to initialize a new change directory. The workflow then determines the correct schema, checks artifact status, and retrieves instructions for the first required artifact.

Artifact-driven planning is a development process that requires creating structured artifacts to guide software changes. It helps developers avoid manually organizing modifications by scaffolding the change process and providing step-by-step guidance for required artifacts.

You create an OpenSpec change directory by asking the skill to start a new change based on your feature, fix, or modification request. It uses the openspec CLI workflow to initialize the directory and retrieve instructions for the first artifact.

Yes, you need the openspec CLI to initialize change workflows. The skill requires the openspec CLI workflow to create change directories, inspect artifact status, and retrieve artifact instructions during the change initialization process.

Yes, you can use this workflow to scaffold both bug fixes and new features. It accepts user-provided feature, fix, or modification requests to create a structured OpenSpec change directory and apply the correct schema for artifact planning.

The best way to prepare artifact instructions is to use a structured OpenSpec change workflow. It checks the current artifact status and retrieves the specific instructions needed for the next required artifact, ensuring modifications are properly planned.
