SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

OpenSpec-integrated plan writing automates the creation of detailed implementation plans by reading OpenSpec change design and writing the resulting plan back to the same OpenSpec context.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • OpenSpec-driven planning: read design from OpenSpec changes and produce structured implementation plans.
  • Task granularity: generate bite-sized steps with explicit files, modifications, and tests.
  • Traceability: writes the plan back into the OpenSpec change for audit and collaboration.

Quick Start

Run openspec-writing-plans to create a complete implementation plan from the project's OpenSpec change.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate an implementation plan from an OpenSpec change design?▼

To generate an implementation plan from an OpenSpec change design, the Skill reads design documentation from your openspec/changes directory and writes a structured plan back into the same context.

What is plan-driven coding and how does it maintain design-to-implementation traceability?▼

Plan-driven coding with OpenSpec maintains design-to-implementation traceability by automatically reading existing change designs and writing detailed implementation plans back into the openspec/changes directory for audit.

How do I write bite-sized development tasks with explicit files and tests from a design document?▼

Writing bite-sized development tasks with explicit files and tests from a design document is automated by generating granular steps for modifications and testing directly from the OpenSpec change context.

Can I use OpenSpec to automate implementation planning for feature development?▼

Yes, you can use OpenSpec to automate implementation planning for feature development by reading the project's change design and producing a structured plan written back to the OpenSpec change.

Does OpenSpec plan writing work without additional dependencies for change management?▼

Yes, OpenSpec plan writing works without additional dependencies for change management, relying solely on the openspec/changes directories to read designs and write plans for feature development.

What are the limitations of automating implementation planning with OpenSpec integration?▼

A limitation of automating implementation planning with OpenSpec integration is that it strictly applies to projects using OpenSpec for design documentation, reading and writing only within openspec/changes directories.
