SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Starting a new feature or fix with OpenSpec requires knowing the correct CLI commands, schema selection, and artifact ordering, which is easy to get wrong without guidance. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Change Scaffolding: Runs openspec new change to create a structured change directory under openspec/changes/ with the selected workflow schema. - Artifact Status Inspection: Shows which artifacts are ready or pending via openspec status and retrieves the template for the first artifact. - Use Case: A developer wants to add user authentication. They describe the goal, the Skill derives the kebab-case name add-user-auth, scaffolds the change, and presents the proposal template ready to draft. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to start a new OpenSpec change for the feature you want to build, and it will scaffold the change and show the first artifact template.

Frequently Asked Questions about openspec-new-change

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I start a new OpenSpec change?▼

Describe what you want to build, and the Skill derives a kebab-case name, then runs `openspec new change <name>` to scaffold the change under `openspec/changes/`. It then shows the artifact status and the first artifact's template.

How do I use a different OpenSpec workflow schema?▼

Mention a specific schema name and the Skill passes `--schema <name>` to the `openspec new change` command. If you ask what workflows exist, it runs `openspec schemas --json` so you can choose.

What happens if the change name is not kebab-case?▼

The Skill rejects invalid names and asks for a valid kebab-case name before proceeding. If a change with that name already exists, it suggests continuing the existing change instead.

Does this Skill create the change artifacts automatically?▼

No. It only scaffolds the change directory and displays the instructions and template for the first artifact. It stops and waits for your direction before drafting any artifact content.

What are the requirements for using the OpenSpec change workflow?▼

You need the openspec CLI installed and a clear description of what you want to build or fix. The Skill converts your description into a kebab-case change name and uses the default schema unless you specify another.
