SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Propose a fully fleshed-out change by generating all artifacts (proposal, design, and tasks) in one step, speeding up the handoff from idea to implementation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Generates a complete openspec change scaffold: proposal.md, design.md, and tasks.md
  • Automates the initial planning phase, delivering ready-to-implement specs
  • Use case: a product team describes an idea and immediately obtains a proposal plus plan for execution

Quick Start

Create a new change proposal with all artifacts generated in one step.

Frequently Asked Questions about openspec-propose

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate change proposals, design specs, and task lists all at once?▼

Generate change proposals, design specs, and task lists simultaneously by describing your change idea to get a complete proposal scaffold. This outputs proposal.md, design.md, and tasks.md files together, ready for immediate implementation execution.

What is the best way to automate the initial software design and specification phase?▼

Automate the initial software design phase by generating a complete openspec change scaffold instantly. This delivers ready-to-implement specifications and plans, speeding up the handoff from an idea to a structured execution workflow.

Do I need the openspec CLI to create a complete change proposal with design and tasks?▼

Yes, creating a complete change proposal requires the openspec CLI. The tool uses this CLI to output generated artifacts under the openspec/changes/<name>/ directory, accompanied by a .openspec.yaml metadata file.

Can I generate implementation-ready specifications for a product team in one step?▼

Yes, a product team can generate implementation-ready specifications in one step. By simply describing an idea, the tool immediately produces a proposal plus a comprehensive execution plan containing design and task artifacts.

What files are included when generating an openspec change artifact scaffold?▼

Generating an openspec change artifact scaffold includes proposal.md, design.md, and tasks.md files. These are output under a dedicated openspec/changes/<name>/ directory alongside a .openspec.yaml metadata file for tracking.

Why generate all change artifacts at once instead of creating specifications individually?▼

Generate all change artifacts at once to eliminate manual scaffolding and speed up the transition from idea to implementation. You receive a fully fleshed-out proposal with design and tasks instantly, avoiding fragmented planning steps.
