SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Coordinating a shared initiative across multiple teams is hard: proposals drift, repository impact is guessed instead of traced to a registry, and verification is claimed without evidence. This Skill guides an AI agent through planning and verifying a multi-team initiative in an OpenSpec Store, keeping requirements, repository impact, and evidence aligned. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Initiative Proposal: Defines the problem, expected outcome, boundaries, and team participation, with Repository Impact tied to exact code/specs IDs from the registry. - Delta Specs Authoring: Formulates shared requirements and observable scenarios while preserving standard OpenSpec headers and full requirement content, without imposing technical design. - Evidence-Based Verify: Matches requirements against evidence, distinguishes planning checks from acceptance of delivered results, and records "not verified" when evidence is missing. - Use Case: A platform lead needs three teams to deliver a shared API change. The agent creates a Change with the initiative schema, writes the Proposal and Delta Specs referencing the participant registry, then verifies the outcome against concrete evidence before reporting open questions. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to plan a new cross-team initiative in the OpenSpec Store using the initiative schema and then verify it against available evidence.

Frequently Asked Questions about initiative-workflow

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I plan a cross-team initiative in OpenSpec?▼

Create a new Change with the initiative schema using openspec new change <id> --schema initiative, then write a Proposal covering problem, outcome, boundaries, and team participation. Repository Impact must reference exact code/specs IDs from the registry.

How do I verify a multi-team initiative with evidence?▼

In the Verify step, match each requirement against concrete evidence and distinguish planning checks from acceptance of delivered results. Without evidence, record "not verified"; checked tasks or finished documents alone do not confirm the shared outcome.

Does this skill implement code for the initiative?▼

No. This profile covers Proposal, Delta Specs, and Verify only. It does not run code Apply, create Changes in team repositories automatically, or trigger Archive, Release, or publication when documents are completed.

Can I use this skill without the Orchestrator MCP connection?▼

Yes. Without MCP, use openspec status --change <id> --json and openspec instructions <artifact-id> --change <id> --json from the main Store to get current status and artifact instructions.

What happens if an existing Change uses a different schema?▼

The skill does not switch an existing Change to the initiative schema. It follows the process defined by that Change's own schema, and if a local schema was renamed, it asks which instructions apply.
