sdd-init

Spec-driven development (SDD) structures a project by defining specifications before implementation. This Skill initializes the openspec directory, creating specs and changes folders to manage project requirements and modifications systematically.

To initialize openspec configuration, run the sdd-init Skill. It detects your project's tech stack, architecture, and testing conventions to automatically generate a tailored openspec/config.yaml file and the required directory structure.

Yes, you can set up SDD folders for any tech stack. The initialization process detects your project context, including architecture and linting conventions, to generate a tailored configuration file that matches your specific environment.

The openspec config.yaml generation automatically detects and supports your project's existing testing and linting conventions. It scans your project context to ensure the generated configuration aligns with your specific development standards.

Spec-driven development initialization requires three main directories: openspec/, openspec/specs/, and openspec/changes/. The Skill automatically creates these folders to store configuration, specifications, and change logs respectively.

Using automated scaffolding for spec-driven development ensures consistent directory structure and context-aware configuration generation. It eliminates manual setup errors, detects project conventions instantly, and establishes a standardized openspec environment across different projects.
