What kind of tasks does it suggest?

The skill scans your code for TODO/FIXME comments, missing error handling, functions without tests, and type issues like 'any' in TypeScript.

How long does the onboarding walkthrough take?

A typical cycle—from task selection to archiving the completed work—usually takes between 15 and 20 minutes.

Does this skill require the OpenSpec CLI?

Yes, this skill requires the OpenSpec CLI to be installed and initialized in your project to function correctly.

What is the OpenSpec Onboarding skill?

It is a specialized Claude Code capability that provides a narrated, hands-on tutorial for the OpenSpec workflow by performing real work in your repository.

Can I use this for major feature development?

While the skill teaches the workflow using small tasks, the same OpenSpec rhythm it teaches is applicable to changes of any size.

Learning & Documentation

Guides developers through their first complete OpenSpec workflow cycle using real-world tasks within their own codebase.

The OpenSpec Onboarding skill provides an interactive, hands-on tutorial designed to master the OpenSpec development lifecycle. Instead of static documentation, it identifies actual improvement opportunities in your repository—such as TODOs, missing tests, or type issues—and walks you through the entire process of creating proposals, defining specifications, designing solutions, and implementing changes. By the end of the session, you will have moved a real feature from concept to archived history, gaining practical experience with the OpenSpec CLI and its structured approach to software engineering.
