What is the OpenSpec change lifecycle process?▼

The OpenSpec change lifecycle is a structured workflow spanning proposal, specs, design, tasks, and archive. It stores artifacts under openspec/changes and enforces end-to-end execution from exploration to archive.

How do I create a new OpenSpec change from start to finish?▼

Open your project and follow the guided phases to create a new change, working through proposal, specs, design, tasks, and archive. The workflow scaffolds each artifact step-by-step in a structured learning environment.

Can I use OpenSpec onboarding for teams practicing end-to-end workflows across multiple projects?▼

Yes, the guided workflow applies to new OpenSpec adopters and teams practicing end-to-end workflows across projects. It provides a reusable template for teaching users how to apply the workflow to their projects.

Do I need any specific dependencies to start learning the OpenSpec workflow?▼

No specific dependencies are required. You only need to open your project and follow the guided phases to scaffold proposals, specs, design, and tasks in a safe learning environment.

What are the limitations of using a guided OpenSpec onboarding tutorial?▼

The guided onboarding is designed as a learning environment for new adopters. It focuses on teaching the structured change lifecycle rather than automating existing project workflows or bypassing the manual proposal and design phases.
