What happens if a change with the same name already exists?

The skill includes guardrails that will detect existing directories and suggest continuing the current change rather than overwriting it.

Can I use custom schemas with this skill?

Yes, the skill allows you to list available schemas from OpenSpec and select a specific workflow if you don't want to use the default one.

Does this skill automatically write the code for my feature?

No, this specific skill focuses on the scaffolding and planning phase. It prepares the environment and the first artifact template for you to then fill in or refine.

What is an OpenSpec artifact workflow?

It is a structured development approach where progress is driven by specific documents or milestones (artifacts), such as proposals and specifications, ensuring clarity before coding begins.

Does this skill require external tools?

Yes, this skill requires the 'openspec' CLI to be installed in your environment to execute the necessary commands.

Productivity & Workflow

Initiates a structured, artifact-driven development workflow for new features or bug fixes using the OpenSpec framework.

This skill automates the initial setup of a new software change by leveraging the OpenSpec experimental artifact workflow. It guides users through creating a scaffolded change directory, selecting the appropriate workflow schema, and retrieving instructions for the initial project artifact. By providing a step-by-step approach to project scoping and specification, it ensures that developers follow best practices and have all necessary context and documentation ready before implementation begins.
