SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you move from a rough product or implementation idea to a complete, structured change proposal without manually assembling the planning artifacts yourself.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • One-step proposal generation: Creates the change scaffold and the core planning artifacts needed to move forward.
  • Structured planning workflow: Produces proposal, design, and task breakdowns in the correct sequence for implementation readiness.
  • Use Case: A developer or product owner can describe a desired feature, then quickly receive a ready-to-review change package that can be handed off for execution.

Quick Start

Ask for a new change proposal by describing what you want to build or fix in clear terms.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a complete change proposal from a feature description?▼

To generate a change proposal, you provide a clear feature or fix description. The system creates a scaffold and produces structured proposal, design, and task artifacts together for implementation readiness.

What is included in an OpenSpec change proposal package?▼

An OpenSpec change proposal package includes the scaffold, design specifications, and task breakdowns. These artifacts are produced in the correct sequence to ensure the package is implementation-ready.

Do I need the openspec CLI to create change proposal scaffolds?▼

Yes, you need openspec CLI support to create the change scaffold. The CLI is required to inspect artifact dependencies and produce the implementation-ready outputs for the planning workflow.

How does structured planning workflow handle design and task breakdowns?▼

Structured planning workflows handle design and task breakdowns by applying a single user description to generate artifacts. This process applies to workflows needing proposal, design, and task artifacts generated together.

Can I hand off a generated change package directly for execution?▼

Yes, you can hand off the generated change package directly for execution. The output is a ready-to-review proposal, design, and task breakdown package that developers can use to move forward.

What's the best way to move from a rough idea to a structured change proposal?▼

The best way to move from a rough idea to a structured change proposal is using a one-step generation process. This creates the change scaffold and core planning artifacts without manual assembly.
