SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This tool automates starting a new OpenSpec change using a structured, artifact-driven workflow, reducing setup friction and enforcing consistency.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Guided change creation: scaffolds a new OpenSpec change directory with a schema-aware workflow.
  • Schema-aware prompts: determines the appropriate workflow schema and ensures naming rules are followed.
  • Artifact status visibility: shows which artifacts are ready or required before proceeding.
  • First-artifact template: provides a ready-to-edit first artifact template without creating any files yet.

Quick Start

Initiate a new change using the experimental artifact-driven OpenSpec workflow by providing a kebab-case change name when prompted.

FAQPage Schema
How do I start a new OpenSpec change using an artifact workflow?▼

To start an OpenSpec change, provide a kebab-case change name. The workflow validates naming, determines the schema, scaffolds the change directory, and provides the first artifact template.

What is the artifact workflow for OpenSpec change management?▼

The artifact workflow is a structured process for creating feature changes or bug fixes. It uses schema-aware prompts to enforce consistency and provides visibility into required artifacts before proceeding.

Does the OpenSpec scaffolding workflow create artifact files automatically?▼

No, the scaffolding workflow does not create artifact files automatically. It sets up the change directory and provides a ready-to-edit first artifact template without generating the actual artifacts.

How do I ensure my change naming follows OpenSpec rules during scaffolding?▼

The automated workflow validates your change naming against OpenSpec rules. You must provide a kebab-case change name when prompted to satisfy the schema-aware validation requirements.

Can I check which artifacts are required before proceeding with an OpenSpec change?▼

Yes, the workflow provides artifact status visibility. It shows which artifacts are ready or required, ensuring you meet all structural prerequisites before moving forward with the change.
