Does this skill require external tools?

Yes, this skill requires the OpenSpec CLI to be installed and initialized within your project directory.

Where does it store the project documentation?

All artifacts are stored locally in your project under the 'openspec/changes/' directory, which can be archived for long-term decision tracking.

What kind of tasks can it help me with?

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

Does it modify my code directly?

Yes, during the 'Apply' phase, the skill will work through the task list and implement the actual code changes based on the approved design and specs.

OpenSpec is a methodology and CLI toolset for structured software development that focuses on creating clear documentation (proposals, specs, design) before implementation.

Learning & Documentation

Guides users through a complete OpenSpec development cycle from initial exploration to implementation and archiving.

The OpenSpec Onboard skill is a specialized teaching experience designed to familiarize developers with the OpenSpec workflow by performing real work within their own codebase. It automates the discovery of improvement opportunities—such as TODOs, missing tests, or type issues—and leads the user through the structured creation of proposals, specifications, designs, and task lists. By combining technical guidance with actual code implementation, it ensures developers learn the OpenSpec methodology while simultaneously making tangible improvements to their project.
