What is the artifact-driven approach used by this skill?

It is a structured methodology where development is broken down into a sequence of interdependent documents or 'artifacts' (like proposals and specifications) that must be completed before final implementation.

Why does this skill require the OpenSpec CLI?

The skill acts as an intelligent interface for the OpenSpec CLI, using it to manage local files, track the status of your change sequence, and ensure the project remains in a valid state.

Does this skill automatically write the code for my feature?

No, it focuses on the planning and scaffolding phase by setting up the directory structure and providing the specific templates needed to draft the initial design artifacts.

What are the mandatory compliance gates mentioned in the skill?

These are automated checks that ensure every change follows project rules for security, tenant isolation, API contract synchronization, and documentation currency before being marked as complete.

Productivity & Workflow

Initiates structured development workflows by scaffolding new features, fixes, or modifications using an artifact-driven approach.

The OpenSpec Change Manager skill streamlines the initial phases of the OpenSpec experimental workflow, helping developers kick off new features or bug fixes with a consistent, step-by-step structure. It guides users through naming their change using kebab-case conventions, selecting appropriate workflow schemas, and automatically scaffolding the necessary directory structures. By integrating real-time artifact status tracking and providing immediate instructions for initial project documentation, it ensures that all modifications align with mandatory repository compliance gates, requirement traceability, and architectural standards from the very first prompt.
