How does the skill handle modified requirements?

It enforces a specific delta format where you must provide the full updated requirement block to prevent data loss during the archiving process.

Does this skill provide CLI commands?

Yes, it includes guidance for using openspec CLI commands like list, validate, and archive to manage your project's lifecycle within the Claude environment.

When should I use the OpenSpec workflow instead of a direct fix?

Use this workflow for new features, breaking changes, architectural updates, or performance optimizations. Direct fixes are reserved for bugs, typos, and non-breaking dependency updates.

What are the three stages of the OpenSpec workflow?

The workflow consists of Stage 1: Creating Changes (proposals and specs), Stage 2: Implementing Changes (executing tasks), and Stage 3: Archiving Changes (merging into the source of truth).

Productivity & Workflow

Implements a rigorous spec-driven development lifecycle for managing feature proposals, implementation tasks, and architectural changes.

The OpenSpec Workflow skill guides Claude Code through a disciplined three-stage process for software evolution: creation, implementation, and archiving. By enforcing the creation of technical proposals and requirement specifications before any code is written, it ensures that architectural decisions are vetted and documented. This skill automates directory scaffolding, validates specification formats against strict standards, and streamlines the merging of requirement deltas into a central source of truth, making it indispensable for teams practicing spec-driven development or managing complex system changes.
