FAQPage Schema
What is the OpenSpec change management workflow for new contributors?▼

The OpenSpec change management workflow is a structured process guiding new contributors through a complete lifecycle, from drafting a proposal and specifications to design, task implementation, and archiving changes within a real codebase.

How do I start creating a new change and proposal in OpenSpec?▼

You start creating a new change in OpenSpec by initiating a guided workflow that scaffolds the proposal stage, captures specifications and design details, generates a task list, and walks you through implementation to final archiving.

Can I practice the OpenSpec workflow in a real repository before contributing?▼

Yes, you can practice the OpenSpec workflow in a real repository, as this guided onboarding leverages actual workflow scaffolding to deliver hands-on, end-to-end change management experience for new contributors.

What's the best way to manage specifications and task lists for an OpenSpec proposal?▼

The best way to manage specifications and task lists for an OpenSpec proposal is by following a guided, stage-by-stage workflow that systematically captures design specs and tracks implementation tasks before archiving.

Does OpenSpec onboarding include safety pauses during the change implementation process?▼

Yes, OpenSpec onboarding includes safety-conscious workflows with built-in stages, pauses, and clear exit paths to ensure a controlled learning experience while implementing changes across the framework.

Do I need a real codebase to learn the OpenSpec change lifecycle?▼

You need a real codebase to learn the OpenSpec change lifecycle effectively, because this onboarding experience applies actual OpenSpec workflow scaffolding to practice creating, implementing, and archiving changes end-to-end.
