Initiates structured software development changes using the experimental artifact-driven OpenSpec workflow.
The openspec-new-change skill streamlines the process of starting new features or bug fixes by leveraging the OpenSpec CLI. It guides users through an artifact-driven methodology, ensuring that every change starts with a clear plan and structured documentation. The skill automates the creation of change directories, handles workflow schema selection, and prepares the environment by fetching initial artifact instructions. This ensures consistency across development teams and enforces best practices before a single line of implementation code is written.
