How long does the onboarding process take?

A typical walkthrough takes approximately 15-20 minutes, depending on the complexity of the task selected.

Does this skill require external tools?

Yes, this skill requires the OpenSpec CLI to be installed and initialized in your project before the onboarding can begin.

What happens if I need to stop the tutorial midway?

The skill handles graceful exits and saves your progress. You can resume at any time using the /opsx:continue or /opsx:apply commands.

Will this skill make real changes to my code?

Yes. Unlike a sandbox tutorial, this skill helps you pick a real task in your codebase and implements the solution while teaching you the workflow.

OpenSpec is a structured workflow framework that organizes code changes into specific artifacts like proposals, requirements, and designs to ensure clarity and quality.

Learning & Documentation

Guides developers through a complete OpenSpec workflow cycle by performing real codebase improvements while teaching best practices.

The OpenSpec Onboarding Assistant is a specialized mentor skill designed to teach the OpenSpec methodology through hands-on practice. Instead of static documentation, it scans your actual codebase for improvement opportunities—such as TODOs, missing tests, or type issues—and walks you through the entire lifecycle of a change. You will move from initial exploration and proposal drafting to technical specification, design, task management, and final implementation. This skill is ideal for teams adopting spec-driven development who want to ensure every code change is well-documented, intentional, and archived for historical context.
