How does OpenSpec work with Claude?

OpenSpec provides a structured CLI and workflow that Claude follows to create documentation artifacts like proposal.md and tasks.md, ensuring the AI stays on track and adheres to project standards during complex builds.

Is OpenSpec suitable for large refactors?

Absolutely. Its structured approach—moving from high-level proposal to technical design before any code is changed—makes it ideal for managing the risks and complexities of large-scale refactors.

Can I use custom schemas with this skill?

Yes, OpenSpec supports custom schemas such as TDD-driven or rapid development, allowing you to tailor the artifact sequence and validation rules to your team's specific development needs.

What is spec-driven development?

Spec-driven development is a methodology where technical specifications and requirements are defined, reviewed, and validated before implementation begins to ensure accuracy and reduce rework.

What are 'Delta Specs' in OpenSpec?

Delta specs describe specific changes (added, modified, or removed behavior) that are maintained during development and then merged into the main project specifications once a change is archived.

生産性とワークフロー

Standardizes the software development lifecycle by managing artifacts from initial proposal through final implementation using a structured, spec-driven workflow.

OpenSpec is a powerful framework for AI-assisted development that transforms vague feature requests into structured, trackable engineering artifacts. It guides Claude through a rigorous lifecycle of creating proposals, technical specifications, architecture designs, and granular task lists before a single line of code is written. By enforcing RFC 2119 standards and Given/When/Then scenarios, it ensures that features, migrations, and refactors are implemented with high precision, consistency, and verifiable success criteria, ultimately reducing technical debt and communication overhead.
