OpenSpec Onboard
Use this skill to teach the repo's OpenSpec workflow through one small real example.
Flow to teach
openspec-propose-change -> openspec-apply-change -> openspec-archive-change
Supporting skills:
openspec-verify-changeopenspec-sync-specs
Workflow
- Confirm OpenSpec is initialized:
openspec status --json
-
Suggest a few small, real tasks from the codebase.
- Prefer tight-scoped fixes or polish work.
- Avoid large features for onboarding.
-
Walk the user through:
- choosing a small task
- creating a change
- drafting the first artifact
- implementing tasks
- verifying and archiving
-
Narrate why each step exists, but keep momentum and do real repo work.
Guardrails
- Keep the example small enough to finish in one session when possible.
- Use current repo conventions, not abstract theory.
- If the selected task grows too large, recommend slicing it down.
