SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you quickly turn an idea into a complete, implementation-ready proposal with all required artifacts generated together.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Change scaffolding: Creates a new OpenSpec change from a kebab-case name or derived description.
  • Auto-generated artifacts: Produces proposal, design, and tasks artifacts in dependency order until everything required for apply-ready is complete.
  • Guided clarifications: Asks for user input when context is missing or unclear, then continues generation.

Quick Start

Describe the change you want to build or fix, then run /opsx:propose to generate the proposal, design, and tasks artifacts in one step.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate design and task artifacts for an OpenSpec change proposal?▼

To generate design and task artifacts for an OpenSpec change proposal, you provide a rough idea or kebab-case name, and the workflow automatically scaffolds the proposal, design, and tasks in dependency order until apply-ready.

What is the best way to turn a rough idea into an implementation-ready change proposal?▼

The best way to turn a rough idea into an implementation-ready change proposal is using a coordinated workflow that auto-generates required artifacts, queries status in JSON, and stops only when all apply-ready requirements are complete.

How does artifact generation handle missing context when creating a spec design?▼

Artifact generation handles missing context during spec design by asking for user clarifications when information is unclear, then continuing the dependency-aware creation of the remaining implementation tasks.

Do I need the OpenSpec CLI to create implementation tasks and proposal documents?▼

Yes, the workflow satisfies OpenSpec CLI requirements by creating a change, querying status and instructions in JSON, and writing artifacts from templates to ensure the output is fully apply-ready.

Can I scaffold a new OpenSpec change from a descriptive text instead of a specific name?▼

Yes, you can scaffold a new OpenSpec change from a descriptive text, as the system derives the required kebab-case name from your description to begin generating the proposal artifacts.

What are the limitations of automated proposal generation for task planning?▼

Automated proposal generation for task planning is limited to producing artifacts in dependency order until apply-ready requirements are met, stopping without executing the actual implementation or deployment phases.
