Tabish Bidiwale bb97257d46 feat: add instruction loader for template loading and change context
Add the instruction-loader module that provides:
- loadTemplate: Load templates from schema directories
- loadChangeContext: Combine artifact graph with completion state
- generateInstructions: Enrich templates with change-specific context
- formatChangeStatus: Format change status as readable output

This is Slice 3 of the artifact-graph system, building on the graph
operations (Slice 1) and change creation utilities (Slice 2).

# OpenSpec Experimental Release Plan
This document outlines the plan to release the experimental artifact workflow system for user testing.
## Overview
The goal is to allow users to test the new artifact-driven workflow system alongside the existing OpenSpec commands. This experimental system (`opsx`) provides a more granular, step-by-step approach to creating change artifacts.
## Three Workflow Modes
### 1. Old Workflow (Current Production)
- **Commands**: `/openspec:proposal`, `/openspec:apply`, `/openspec:archive`
- **Behavior**: Hardcoded slash commands that generate all artifacts in one command
- **Status**: Production, unchanged
### 2. New Artifact System - Batch Mode (Future)
- **Commands**: Refactored `/openspec:proposal` using schemas
- **Behavior**: Schema-driven but generates all artifacts at once (like legacy)
- **Status**: Not in scope for this experimental release
- **Note**: This is a future refactor to unify the old system with schemas
### 3. New Artifact System - Granular Mode (Experimental)
- **Commands**: `/opsx:new`, `/opsx:continue`
- **Behavior**: One artifact at a time, dependency-driven, iterative
- **Status**: Target for this experimental release
---
## Work Items
### 1. Rename AWF to OPSX
**Current State:**
- Commands: `/awf:start`, `/awf:continue`
- Files: `.claude/commands/awf/start.md`, `.claude/commands/awf/continue.md`
**Target State:**
- Commands: `/opsx:new`, `/opsx:continue`
- Files: `.claude/commands/opsx/new.md`, `.claude/commands/opsx/continue.md`
**Tasks:**
- [x] Create `.claude/commands/opsx/` directory
- [x] Rename `start.md` → `new.md` and update content
- [x] Copy `continue.md` with updated references
- [x] Update all references from "awf" to "opsx" in command content
- [x] Update frontmatter (name, description) to use "opsx" naming
- [x] Remove `.claude/commands/awf/` directory
**CLI Commands:**
The underlying CLI commands (`openspec status`, `openspec instructions`, etc.) remain unchanged. Only the slash command names change.
---
### 2. Remove WF Skill Files
**Current State:**
- `.claude/commands/wf/start.md` - References non-existent `openspec wf` commands
- `.claude/commands/wf/continue.md` - References non-existent `openspec wf` commands
**Target State:**
- Directory and files removed
**Tasks:**
- [x] Delete `.claude/commands/wf/start.md`
- [x] Delete `.claude/commands/wf/continue.md`
- [x] Delete `.claude/commands/wf/` directory
---
### 3. Add Agent Skills for Experimental Workflow
**Purpose:**
Generate experimental workflow skills using the [Agent Skills](https://agentskills.io/specification) open standard.
**Why Skills Instead of Slash Commands:**
- **Cross-editor compatibility**: Skills work in Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and other compatible editors automatically
- **Simpler implementation**: Single directory (`.claude/skills/`) instead of 18+ editor-specific configurators
- **Standard format**: Open standard with simple YAML frontmatter + markdown
- **User invocation**: Users explicitly invoke skills when they want to use them
**Behavior:**
1. Create `.claude/skills/` directory if it doesn't exist
2. Generate two skills using the Agent Skills specification:
- `openspec-new-change/SKILL.md` - Start a new change with artifact workflow
- `openspec-continue-change/SKILL.md` - Continue working on a change (create next artifact)
3. Skills are added **alongside** existing `/openspec:*` commands (not replacing)
**Supported Editors:**
- Claude Code (native support)
- Cursor (native support via Settings → Rules → Import Settings)
- Windsurf (imports `.claude` configs)
- Cline, Codex, and other Agent Skills-compatible editors
**Tasks:**
- [x] Create skill template content for `openspec-new-change` (based on current opsx:new)
- [x] Create skill template content for `openspec-continue-change` (based on current opsx:continue)
- [x] Add temporary `artifact-experimental-setup` command to CLI
- [x] Implement skill file generation (YAML frontmatter + markdown body)
- [x] Add success message with usage instructions
**Note:** The `artifact-experimental-setup` command is temporary and will be merged into `openspec init` once the experimental workflow is promoted to stable.
**Skill Format:**
Each skill is a directory with a `SKILL.md` file:
```
.claude/skills/
├── openspec-new-change/
│ └── SKILL.md # name, description, instructions
├── openspec-continue-change/
│ └── SKILL.md # name, description, instructions
└── openspec-apply-change/
└── SKILL.md # name, description, instructions
```
**CLI Interface:**
```bash
openspec artifact-experimental-setup
# Output:
# 🧪 Experimental Artifact Workflow Skills Created
#
# ✓ .claude/skills/openspec-new-change/SKILL.md
# ✓ .claude/skills/openspec-continue-change/SKILL.md
# ✓ .claude/skills/openspec-apply-change/SKILL.md
#
# 📖 Usage:
#
# Skills work automatically in compatible editors:
# • Claude Code - Auto-detected, ready to use
# • Cursor - Enable in Settings → Rules → Import Settings
# • Windsurf - Auto-imports from .claude directory
#
# Ask Claude naturally:
# • "I want to start a new OpenSpec change to add <feature>"
# • "Continue working on this change"
#
# Claude will automatically use the appropriate skill.
#
# 💡 This is an experimental feature.
# Feedback welcome at: https://github.com/Fission-AI/OpenSpec/issues
```
**Implementation Notes:**
- Simple file writing: Create directories and write templated `SKILL.md` files (no complex logic)
- Use existing `FileSystemUtils.writeFile()` pattern like slash command configurators
- Template structure: YAML frontmatter + markdown body
- Keep existing `/opsx:*` slash commands for now (manual cleanup later)
- Skills use invocation model (user explicitly asks Claude to use them)
- Skill `description` field guides when Claude suggests using the skill
- Each `SKILL.md` has required fields: `name` (matches directory) and `description`

### 4. Update `/opsx:new` Command Content
**Current Behavior (awf:start):**
1. Ask user what they want to build (if no input)
2. Create change directory
3. Show artifact status
4. Show what's ready
5. Get instructions for proposal
6. STOP and wait
**New Behavior (opsx:new):**
Same flow but with updated naming:
- References to "awf" → "opsx"
- References to `/awf:continue` → `/opsx:continue`
- Update frontmatter name/description
**Tasks:**
- [x] Update all "awf" references to "opsx"
- [x] Update command references in prompt text
- [x] Verify CLI commands still work (they use `openspec`, not `awf`)
---
### 5. Update `/opsx:continue` Command Content
**Current Behavior (awf:continue):**
1. Prompt for change selection (if not provided)
2. Check current status
3. Create ONE artifact based on what's ready
4. Show progress and what's unlocked
5. STOP
**New Behavior (opsx:continue):**
Same flow with updated naming.
**Tasks:**
- [x] Update all "awf" references to "opsx"
- [x] Update command references in prompt text
---
### 6. End-to-End Testing
**Objective:**
Run through a complete workflow with Claude using the new skills to create a real feature, validating the entire flow works.
**Test Scenario:**
Use a real OpenSpec feature as the test case (dog-fooding).
**Test Flow:**
1. Run `openspec artifact-experimental-setup` to create skills
2. Verify `.claude/skills/openspec-new-change/SKILL.md` created
3. Verify `.claude/skills/openspec-continue-change/SKILL.md` created
4. Verify `.claude/skills/openspec-apply-change/SKILL.md` created
5. Ask Claude: "I want to start a new OpenSpec change to add feature X"
6. Verify Claude invokes the `openspec-new-change` skill
7. Verify change directory created at `openspec/changes/add-feature-x/`
8. Verify proposal template shown
9. Ask Claude: "Continue working on this change"
10. Verify Claude invokes the `openspec-continue-change` skill
11. Verify `proposal.md` created with content
12. Ask Claude: "Continue" (create specs)
13. Verify `specs/*.md` created
14. Ask Claude: "Continue" (create design)
15. Verify `design.md` created
16. Ask Claude: "Continue" (create tasks)
17. Verify `tasks.md` created
18. Verify status shows 4/4 complete
19. Implement the feature based on tasks
20. Run `/openspec:archive` to archive the change
**Validation Checklist:**
- [ ] `openspec artifact-experimental-setup` creates correct directory structure
- [ ] Skills are auto-detected in Claude Code
- [ ] Skill descriptions trigger appropriate invocations
- [ ] Skills create change directory and show proposal template
- [ ] Skills correctly identify ready artifacts
- [ ] Skills create artifacts with meaningful content
- [ ] Dependency detection works (specs requires proposal, etc.)
- [ ] Progress tracking is accurate
- [ ] Template content is useful and well-structured
- [ ] Error handling works (invalid names, missing changes, etc.)
- [ ] Works with different schemas (spec-driven, tdd)
- [ ] Test in Cursor (Settings → Rules → Import Settings)
**Document Results:**
- Create test log documenting what worked and what didn't
- Note any friction points or confusing UX
- Identify bugs or improvements needed before user release
---
### 7. Documentation for Users
**Create user-facing documentation explaining:**
1. **What is the experimental workflow?**
- A new way to create OpenSpec changes step-by-step using Agent Skills
- One artifact at a time with dependency tracking
- More interactive and iterative than the batch approach
- Works across Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and other compatible editors
2. **How to set up experimental workflow**
```bash
openspec artifact-experimental-setup
```
Note: This is a temporary command that will be integrated into `openspec init` once promoted to stable.
3. **Available skills**
- `openspec-new-change` - Start a new change with artifact workflow
- `openspec-continue-change` - Continue working (create next artifact)
4. **How to use**
- **Claude Code**: Skills are auto-detected, just ask Claude naturally
- "I want to start a new OpenSpec change to add X"
- "Continue working on this change"
- **Cursor**: Enable in Settings → Rules → Import Settings
- **Windsurf**: Auto-imports `.claude` directory
5. **Example workflow**
- Step-by-step walkthrough with natural language interactions
- Show how Claude invokes skills based on user requests
6. **Feedback mechanism**
- GitHub issue template for feedback
- What to report (bugs, UX issues, suggestions)
**Tasks:**
- [ ] Create `docs/experimental-workflow.md` user guide
- [ ] Add GitHub issue template for experimental feedback
- [ ] Update README with mention of experimental features

---
## Out of Scope
The following are explicitly NOT part of this experimental release:
1. **Batch mode refactor** - Making legacy `/openspec:proposal` use schemas
2. **New schemas** - Only shipping with existing `spec-driven` and `tdd`
3. **Schema customization UI** - No `openspec schema list` or similar
4. **Multiple editor support in CLI** - Skills work cross-editor automatically via `.claude/skills/`
5. **Replacing existing commands** - Skills are additive, not replacing `/openspec:*` or `/opsx:*`
---
## Success Criteria
The experimental release is ready when:
1. `openspec-new-change`, `openspec-continue-change`, and `openspec-apply-change` skills work end-to-end
2. `openspec artifact-experimental-setup` creates skills in `.claude/skills/`
3. Skills work in Claude Code and are compatible with Cursor/Windsurf
4. At least one complete workflow has been tested manually
5. User documentation exists explaining how to generate and use skills
6. Feedback mechanism is in place
7. WF skill files are removed
8. No references to "awf" remain in user-facing content
---
## Open Questions
1. **Schema selection** - Should `opsx:new` allow selecting a schema, or always use `spec-driven`?
- Current: Always uses `spec-driven` as default
- Consider: Add `--schema tdd` option or prompt
2. **Namespace in CLI** - Should experimental CLI commands be namespaced?
- Current: `openspec status`, `openspec instructions` (no namespace)
- Alternative: `openspec opsx status` (explicit experimental namespace)
- Recommendation: Keep current, less typing for users
3. **Deprecation path** - If opsx becomes the default, how do we migrate?
- Not needed for experimental release
- Document that command names may change
---
## Estimated Work Breakdown
| Item | Complexity | Notes |
|------|------------|-------|
| Remove WF files | Trivial | Just delete 2 files + directory |
| Rename AWF → OPSX | Low | File renames + content updates |
| Add Agent Skills | **Low** | **Simple: 3-4 files, single output directory, standard format** |
| Update opsx:new content | Low | Text replacements |
| Update opsx:continue content | Low | Text replacements |
| E2E Testing | Medium | Manual testing, documenting results |
| User Documentation | Medium | New docs, issue template |
**Key Improvement:** Switching to Agent Skills reduces complexity significantly:
- **Before:** 20+ files (type definitions, 18+ editor configurators, editor selection UI)
- **After:** 3-4 files (skill templates, simple CLI command)
- **Cross-editor:** Works automatically in Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf without extra code
---
## User Feedback from E2E Testing
### What Worked Well
1. **Clear dependency graph** ⭐ HIGH PRIORITY - KEEP
- The status command showing blocked/unblocked artifacts was intuitive:
```
[x] proposal
[ ] design
[-] tasks (blocked by: design, specs)
```
- Users always knew what they could work on next
- **Relevance**: Core UX strength to preserve
2. **Structured instructions output** ⭐ HIGH PRIORITY - KEEP
- `openspec instructions <artifact>` gave templates, output paths, and context in one call
- Very helpful for understanding what to create
- **Relevance**: Essential for agent-driven workflow
3. **Simple scaffolding** ✅ WORKS WELL
- `openspec new change "name"` just worked - created directory structure without fuss
- **Relevance**: Good baseline, room for improvement (see pain points)
---
### Pain Points & Confusion
1. **Redundant CLI calls** ⚠️ MEDIUM PRIORITY
- Users called both `status` AND `next` every time, but they overlap significantly
- `status` already shows what's blocked
- **Recommendation**: Consider merging or making `next` give actionable guidance beyond just listing names
- **Relevance**: Reduces friction in iterative workflow
2. **Specs directory structure was ambiguous** 🔥 HIGH PRIORITY - FIX
- Instructions said: `Write to: .../specs/**/*.md`
- Users had to guess: `specs/spec.md`? `specs/game/spec.md`? `specs/tic-tac-toe/spec.md`?
- Users ended up doing manual `mkdir -p .../specs/tic-tac-toe` then writing `spec.md` inside
- **Recommendation**: CLI should scaffold this directory structure automatically
- **Relevance**: Critical agent UX - ambiguous paths cause workflow friction
3. **Repetitive --change flag** ⚠️ MEDIUM PRIORITY
- Every command needed `--change "tic-tac-toe-game"`
- After 10+ calls, this felt verbose
- **Recommendation**: `openspec use "tic-tac-toe-game"` to set context, then subsequent commands assume that change
- **Relevance**: Quality of life improvement for iterative sessions
4. **No validation feedback** 🔥 HIGH PRIORITY - ADD
- After writing each artifact, users just ran `status` hoping it would show `[x]`
- Questions raised:
- How did it know the artifact was "done"? File existence?
- What if spec format was wrong (e.g., wrong heading levels)?
- **Recommendation**: Add `openspec validate --change "name"` to check content quality
- **Relevance**: Critical for user confidence and catching errors early
5. **Query-heavy, action-light CLI** 🔥 HIGH PRIORITY - ENHANCE
- Most commands retrieve info. The only "action" is `new change`
- Artifact creation is manual Write to guessed paths
- **Recommendation**: `openspec create proposal --change "name"` could scaffold the file with template pre-filled, then user just edits
- **Relevance**: Directly impacts agent productivity - reduce manual file writing
6. **Instructions output was verbose** ⚠️ LOW PRIORITY
- XML-style output (`<artifact>`, `<template>`, `<instruction>`) was parseable but long
- Key info (output path, template) was buried in ~50 lines
- **Recommendation**: Add compact mode or structured JSON output for agents
- **Relevance**: Nice-to-have for agent parsing efficiency
---
### Workflow Friction
1. **Mandatory "STOP and wait" after showing proposal template** ⚠️ MEDIUM PRIORITY
- The skill said "STOP and wait" after showing the proposal template
- This felt overly cautious when user had already provided enough context (e.g., "tic tac toe, single player vs AI, minimal aesthetics")
- **Recommendation**: Make the pause optional or conditional based on context clarity
- **Relevance**: Reduces unnecessary round-trips in agent conversations
2. **No connection to implementation** 🔥 HIGH PRIORITY - ROADMAP ITEM
- After 4/4 artifacts complete, then what? The workflow ends at planning
- No `openspec apply` or guidance on how to execute the tasks
- User asked "would you like me to implement?" but that's outside OpenSpec's scope currently
- **Recommendation**: Add implementation bridge - either:
- `openspec apply` command to start execution phase
- Clear handoff to existing `/openspec:apply` workflow
- Documentation on next steps after planning completes
- **Relevance**: Critical missing piece - users expect end-to-end workflow
---

---
## Design Decisions (from E2E Testing Feedback)
Based on dev testing and analysis of agent workflow friction, we identified three blockers for experimental release and made the following decisions.
### Blockers Identified
From the pain points in E2E testing, three issues are blocking the experimental release:
1. **Specs directory ambiguity** - Agents don't know where to write spec files or how to name capabilities
2. **CLI is query-heavy** - Most commands retrieve info, artifact creation is manual
3. **Apply integration missing** - After 4/4 artifacts complete, no guidance on implementation phase
### Decision 1: Capability Discovery in Proposal (RESOLVED)
**Problem:** The specs artifact instruction says "Create one spec file per capability in `specs/<name>/spec.md`" but:
- Agent doesn't know what `<name>` should be
- Capability identification requires research (existing specs, codebase)
- Proposal template asks for "Affected specs" but doesn't structure it
- Research happens implicitly, output isn't captured
**Decision:** Enrich the proposal template to explicitly capture capability discovery.
**Current proposal template:**
```markdown
## Why
## What Changes
## Impact
- Affected specs: List capabilities... ← vague, easy to skip
- Affected code: ...
```
**New proposal template:**
```markdown
## Why
## What Changes
## Capabilities
### New Capabilities
<!-- Capabilities being introduced (will create new specs/<name>/spec.md) -->
- `<name>`: <brief description of what this capability covers>
### Modified Capabilities
<!-- Existing capabilities being changed (will update existing specs) -->
- `<existing-name>`: <what's changing>
## Impact
<!-- Affected code, APIs, dependencies, systems -->
```
**Rationale:**
- Proposal already asks for capabilities (just poorly) - this makes it explicit
- Captured output is reviewable (vs implicit research that can't be verified)
- Creates clear contract between proposal and specs phases
- Distinguishes NEW vs MODIFIED upfront (critical for specs phase)
- Agent can't skip research - it's part of the deliverable
**Implementation:**
- Update `schemas/spec-driven/templates/proposal.md`
- Update proposal instruction in `schemas/spec-driven/schema.yaml`
- Update skill instructions to guide capability discovery
### Decision 2: CLI Action Commands (IN PROGRESS)
**Problem:** CLI is mostly query-oriented. Agents run `openspec status`, `openspec next`, `openspec instructions` but then must manually write files.
#### Decision 2a: Remove `openspec next` command (RESOLVED)
**Problem:** The `next` command is redundant. It only shows which artifacts are ready, but `status` already shows this information (artifacts with status "ready" vs "blocked" vs "done").
**Current behavior:**
```bash
openspec status --change "X" # Shows: proposal (done), specs (ready), design (blocked), tasks (blocked)
openspec next --change "X" # Shows: ["specs"] ← redundant
```
**Decision:** Remove the `next` command. Agents should use `status` which provides the same info plus more context.
**Implementation:**
- Remove `next` command from CLI
- Update skill instructions to use `status` instead of `next`
- Update AGENTS.md references
#### Decision 2b: CLI Scaffolding (RESOLVED - NO)
**Problem:** After getting instructions, agents manually write files. Should CLI scaffold artifacts instead?
**Options considered:**
- Add `openspec create <artifact>` commands that scaffold files with templates
- Keep current approach where agent writes files directly from instructions
- Hybrid: CLI can scaffold, agent can also write directly
**Decision:** Keep current flow. No scaffolding commands.
**Rationale (from agent ergonomics perspective):**
- One Write is better than multiple Edits - agent composes full content atomically
- `instructions` already provides template in context - scaffolding just moves it to a file
- Fewer tool calls: `instructions` + Write (2) vs `create` + `instructions` + Read + Edit×N (4+)
- Scaffolding doesn't solve the real problem (not knowing WHAT to write)
- Real problem solved by proposal template change (capability discovery)
**For multi-file artifacts (specs):** Scaffolding can't help because CLI doesn't know capability names until proposal is complete. The capability discovery in proposal solves this.
### Decision 3: Apply Integration (RESOLVED)
**Original problem:** After planning completes (4/4 artifacts), the experimental workflow ends. No guidance on implementation.
**Key insight: No phases, just actions.**
Through discussion, we realized phases (planning → implementation → archive) are an artificial constraint. Work is fluid:
- You might start implementing, realize the design is wrong → update design.md
- You're halfway through tasks, discover a new requirement → update specs
- You bounce between "planning" and "implementing" constantly
**The better model: Actions on a Change**
A change is a thing (with artifacts). Actions are verbs you perform on a change. Actions aren't phases - they're fluid operations you can perform anytime.
| Action | What it does | Skill | CLI Command |
|--------|--------------|-------|-------------|
| `new` | Create a change (scaffold directory) | `opsx:new` | `openspec new change` |
| `continue` | Create next artifact (dependency-aware) | `opsx:continue` | `openspec instructions` |
| `apply` | Implement tasks (execute, check off) | `opsx:apply` (NEW) | TBD |
| `update` | Refresh/update artifacts based on learnings | `opsx:update` (NEW) | TBD |
| `explore` | Research, ask questions, understand | `opsx:explore` (NEW) | TBD |
| `validate` | Check artifacts are correct/complete | TBD | `openspec validate` |
| `archive` | Finalize and move to archive | existing | `openspec archive` |
**Key principles:**
- Actions are modeled as skills (primary interface for agents)
- Some skills have matching CLI commands for convenience
- Skills and CLI commands are decoupled - not everything needs both
- Actions can be performed in any order (with soft prerequisites)
- No linear phase gates
**What the schema defines:**
- Artifacts (what they are, where they go)
- Dependencies (what must exist first)
- Required vs optional
- Templates + instructions
**What the schema does NOT define:**
- Phases
- When you can modify things
- Linear workflow
**Progress tracking:**
- tasks.md checkboxes = implementation progress
- Artifact existence = planning progress
- Archive readiness = user decides (or all tasks done)
**For experimental release:**
- Create `opsx:apply` skill (guidance for implementing tasks)
- Document the "actions on a change" model
- Other actions (update, explore) can come later
---
### Design: `openspec-apply-change` Skill
#### Overview
The apply skill guides agents through implementing tasks from a completed (or in-progress) change. Unlike the old `/openspec:apply` command, this skill:
- Is **fluid** - can be invoked anytime, not just after all artifacts are done
- Allows **artifact updates** - if implementation reveals issues, update design/specs
- Works **until done** - keeps going through tasks until complete or blocked
- Tracks **progress via checkboxes** - tasks.md is the source of truth
#### Skill Metadata
```yaml
name: openspec-apply-change
description: Implement tasks from an OpenSpec change. Use when the user wants to start implementing, continue implementation, or work through tasks.
```
#### When to Invoke
The skill should be invoked when:
- User says "implement this change" or "start implementing"
- User says "work on the tasks" or "do the next task"
- User says "apply this change"
- All artifacts are complete and user wants to proceed
- User wants to continue implementation after a break
#### Input
- Optionally: change name
- Optionally: specific task number to work on
- If omitted: prompt for change selection (same pattern as continue-change)
#### Steps
```markdown
**Steps**
1. **If no change name provided, prompt for selection**
Run `openspec list --json` to get available changes. Use **AskUserQuestion** to let user select.
Show changes that have tasks.md (implementation-ready).
Mark changes with incomplete tasks as "(In Progress)".
2. **Get apply instructions**
```bash
openspec instructions apply --change "<name>" --json
```
This returns:
- Context file paths (proposal, specs, design, tasks)
- Progress (total, complete, remaining)
- Task list with status
- Dynamic instruction based on current state
**Handle states:**
- If blocked (missing artifacts): show message, suggest `openspec-continue-change`
- If all done: congratulate, suggest archive
- Otherwise: proceed to implementation
3. **Read context files**
Read the files listed in the instructions:
- `proposal.md` - why and what
- `specs/*.md` - requirements and scenarios
- `design.md` - technical approach (if exists)
- `tasks.md` - the implementation checklist
4. **Show current progress**
Display:
- Progress: "N/M tasks complete"
- Remaining tasks overview
- Dynamic instruction from CLI
5. **Implement tasks (loop until done or blocked)**
For each pending task:
- Show which task is being worked on
- Make the code changes required
- Keep changes minimal and focused
- Mark task complete in tasks.md: `- [ ]` → `- [x]`
- Continue to next task
**Pause if:**
- Task is unclear → ask for clarification
- Implementation reveals a design issue → suggest updating artifacts
- Error or blocker encountered → report and wait for guidance
- User interrupts
6. **On completion or pause, show status**
Display:
- Tasks completed this session
- Overall progress: "N/M tasks complete"
- If all done: suggest archive
- If paused: explain why and wait for guidance
```
#### Output Format
**During implementation:**
```
## Implementing: add-user-auth
Working on task 3/7: Create UserAuth service class

- [x] Update API documentation
All tasks complete! Ready to archive this change.
```
**On pause (issue encountered):**
```
## Implementation Paused
**Change:** add-user-auth
**Progress:** 4/7 tasks complete
### Issue Encountered
Task 5 "Add JWT token generation" - the design specifies using RS256 but
the existing auth library only supports HS256.
**Options:**
1. Update design.md to use HS256 instead
2. Add a new JWT library that supports RS256
3. Other approach
What would you like to do?
```
#### Guardrails
- Keep going through tasks until done or blocked
- Always read context before starting (specs, design)
- If task is ambiguous, pause and ask before implementing
- If implementation reveals issues, pause and suggest artifact updates
- Keep code changes minimal and scoped to each task
- Update task checkbox immediately after completing each task
- Pause on errors, blockers, or unclear requirements - don't guess
#### Fluid Workflow Integration
The apply skill supports the "actions on a change" model:
**Can be invoked anytime:**
- Before all artifacts are done (if tasks.md exists)
- After partial implementation
- Interleaved with other actions (update, continue)
**Allows artifact updates:**
- If implementation reveals design issues → suggest `opsx:update` or manual edit
- If requirements need clarification → suggest updating specs
- Not phase-locked - work fluidly
**Example fluid workflow:**
```
User: "Implement add-user-auth"
→ openspec-apply-change: implements tasks 1, 2, 3, 4...
→ Pauses at task 5: "Design says RS256 but library only supports HS256"
User: "Let's use HS256 instead, update the design"
→ User edits design.md (or uses opsx:update in future)
User: "Continue implementing"
→ openspec-apply-change: implements tasks 5, 6, 7
→ "All tasks complete! Ready to archive."
```
#### CLI Commands Used
```bash
openspec list --json # List changes for selection
openspec status --change "<name>" # Check artifact completion
openspec instructions apply --change "<name>" # Get apply instructions (NEW)
# File reads via Read tool for proposal, specs, design, tasks
# File edits via Edit tool for checking off tasks
```
#### New CLI Command: `openspec instructions apply`
For consistency with artifact instructions.
**Usage:**
```bash
openspec instructions apply --change "<name>" [--json]
```
**Output (Markdown format):**
```markdown
## Apply: add-user-auth
### Context Files
- proposal: openspec/changes/add-user-auth/proposal.md
- specs: openspec/changes/add-user-auth/specs/**/*.md
- design: openspec/changes/add-user-auth/design.md
- tasks: openspec/changes/add-user-auth/tasks.md
### Progress
2/7 complete
### Tasks
- [x] Create UserAuth service class
- [x] Add login endpoint
- [ ] Add JWT token generation
- [ ] Add logout endpoint
- [ ] Add auth middleware
- [ ] Write unit tests
- [ ] Update API documentation
### Instruction
Read context files, work through pending tasks, mark complete as you go.
Pause if you hit blockers or need clarification.
```
**Benefits of CLI command:**
- **Consistency** - same pattern as `openspec instructions <artifact>`
- **Structured output** - progress, tasks, context paths in one call
- **Clean format** - markdown is readable and compact (vs verbose XML)
- **Extensibility** - can add more sections later if needed
- **JSON option** - `--json` flag available for programmatic use
#### Differences from Old `/openspec:apply`
| Aspect | Old `/openspec:apply` | New `openspec-apply-change` |
|--------|----------------------|----------------------------|
| Invocation | After all artifacts done | Anytime (if tasks.md exists) |
| Granularity | All tasks at once | All tasks, but pauses on issues |
| Artifact updates | Not mentioned | Encouraged when needed |
| Progress tracking | Update all at end | Update after each task |
| Flow control | Push through everything | Pause on blockers, resume after |
| Context loading | Read once at start | Read context, reference as needed |
| Issue handling | Not specified | Pause, present options, wait for guidance |
#### Implementation Notes
1. **Add CLI command**: Add `openspec instructions apply` to artifact-workflow.ts
- Parse tasks.md for progress (count done/pending)
- Return context paths, progress, task list, simple instruction
2. **Add to skill-templates.ts**: Create `getApplyChangeSkillTemplate()` function
3. **Update artifact-experimental-setup**: Generate this skill alongside new/continue
4. **Update skills list**: Add to `.claude/skills/` directory
5. **Test the flow**: Verify it works with existing changes that have tasks.md

# Experimental Workflow (OPSX)
> **Status:** Experimental. Things might break. Feedback welcome on [Discord](https://discord.gg/BYjPaKbqMt).
>
> **Compatibility:** Claude Code only (for now)
## What Is It?
OPSX is a new way to work with OpenSpec changes. Instead of one big proposal, you build **artifacts** step-by-step:
```
proposal → specs → design → tasks → implementation → archive
```
Each artifact has dependencies. Can't write tasks until you have specs. Can't implement until you have tasks. The system tracks what's ready and what's blocked.
## Setup
```bash
# 1. Make sure you have openspec installed and initialized
openspec init
# 2. Generate the experimental skills
openspec artifact-experimental-setup
```
This creates skills in `.claude/skills/` that Claude Code auto-detects.
## Commands
| Command | What it does |
|---------|--------------|
| `/opsx:new` | Start a new change |
| `/opsx:continue` | Create the next artifact |
| `/opsx:ff` | Fast-forward (create all artifacts at once) |
| `/opsx:apply` | Implement the tasks |
| `/opsx:sync` | Sync delta specs to main specs |
| `/opsx:archive` | Archive when done |
## Usage
### Start a new change
```
/opsx:new
```
You'll be asked what you want to build and which workflow schema to use.
### Build artifacts step-by-step
```
/opsx:continue
```
Creates one artifact at a time. Good for reviewing each step.
### Or fast-forward
```
/opsx:ff add-dark-mode
```
Creates all artifacts in one go. Good when you know what you want.
### Implement
```
/opsx:apply
```
Works through tasks, checking them off as you go.
### Sync specs and archive
```
/opsx:sync # Update main specs with your delta specs
/opsx:archive # Move to archive when done
```
## What's Different?
**Standard workflow** (`/openspec:proposal`):
- One big proposal document
- Linear phases: plan → implement → archive
- All-or-nothing artifact creation
**Experimental workflow** (`/opsx:*`):
- Discrete artifacts with dependencies
- Fluid actions (not phases) - update artifacts anytime
- Step-by-step or fast-forward
- Schema-driven (can customize the workflow)
The key insight: work isn't linear. You implement, realize the design is wrong, update it, continue. OPSX supports this.
## Schemas
Schemas define what artifacts exist and their dependencies. Currently available:
- **spec-driven** (default): proposal → specs → design → tasks
- **tdd**: tests → implementation → docs
Run `openspec schemas` to see available schemas.
## Tips
- Use `/opsx:ff` when you have a clear idea, `/opsx:continue` when exploring
- Tasks track progress via checkboxes in `tasks.md`
- Delta specs (in `specs/`) get synced to main specs with `/opsx:sync`
- If you get stuck, the status command shows what's blocked: `openspec status --change "name"`
## Feedback
This is rough. That's intentional - we're learning what works.

# Schema Customization
This document describes how users can customize OpenSpec schemas and templates, the current manual process, and the gap that needs to be addressed.
---
## Overview
OpenSpec uses a 2-level schema resolution system following the XDG Base Directory Specification:
1. **User override**: `${XDG_DATA_HOME}/openspec/schemas/<name>/`
2. **Package built-in**: `<npm-package>/schemas/<name>/`
When a schema is requested (e.g., `spec-driven`), the resolver checks the user directory first. If found, that entire schema directory is used. Otherwise, it falls back to the package's built-in schema.
---
## Current Manual Process
To override the default `spec-driven` schema, a user must:
### 1. Determine the correct directory path
| Platform | Path |
|----------|------|
| macOS/Linux | `~/.local/share/openspec/schemas/` |
| Windows | `%LOCALAPPDATA%\openspec\schemas\` |
| All (if set) | `$XDG_DATA_HOME/openspec/schemas/` |
### 2. Create the directory structure
```bash
# macOS/Linux example
mkdir -p ~/.local/share/openspec/schemas/spec-driven/templates
```
### 3. Find and copy the default schema files
The user must locate the installed npm package to copy the defaults:
```bash
# Find the package location (varies by install method)
npm list -g openspec --parseable
# or
which openspec && readlink -f $(which openspec)
# Copy files from the package's schemas/ directory
cp <package-path>/schemas/spec-driven/schema.yaml ~/.local/share/openspec/schemas/spec-driven/
cp <package-path>/schemas/spec-driven/templates/*.md ~/.local/share/openspec/schemas/spec-driven/templates/
```
### 4. Modify the copied files
Edit `schema.yaml` to change the workflow structure:
```yaml
name: spec-driven
version: 1
description: My custom workflow
artifacts:
- id: proposal
generates: proposal.md
description: Initial proposal
template: proposal.md
requires: []
# Add, remove, or modify artifacts...
```
Edit templates in `templates/` to customize the content guidance.
### 5. Verify the override is active
Currently there's no command to verify which schema is being used. Users must trust that the file exists in the right location.
---
## Gap Analysis
The current process has several friction points:
| Issue | Impact |
|-------|--------|
| **Path discovery** | Users must know XDG conventions and platform-specific paths |
| **Package location** | Finding the npm package path varies by install method (global, local, pnpm, yarn, volta, etc.) |
| **No scaffolding** | Users must manually create directories and copy files |
| **No verification** | No way to confirm which schema is actually being resolved |
| **No diffing** | When upgrading openspec, users can't see what changed in built-in templates |
| **Full copy required** | Must copy entire schema even to change one template |
### User Stories Not Currently Supported
1. *"I want to add a `research` artifact before `proposal`"* — requires manual copy and edit
2. *"I want to customize just the proposal template"* — must copy entire schema
3. *"I want to see what the default schema looks like"* — must find package path
4. *"I want to revert to defaults"* — must delete files and hope paths are correct
5. *"I upgraded openspec, did the templates change?"* — no way to diff
---
## Proposed Solution: Schema Configurator
A CLI command (or set of commands) that handles path resolution and file operations for users.
### Option A: Single `openspec schema` command
```bash
# List available schemas (built-in and user overrides)
openspec schema list
# Show where a schema resolves from
openspec schema which spec-driven
# Output: /Users/me/.local/share/openspec/schemas/spec-driven/ (user override)
# Output: /usr/local/lib/node_modules/openspec/schemas/spec-driven/ (built-in)
# Copy a built-in schema to user directory for customization
openspec schema copy spec-driven
# Creates ~/.local/share/openspec/schemas/spec-driven/ with all files
# Show diff between user override and built-in
openspec schema diff spec-driven
# Remove user override (revert to built-in)
openspec schema reset spec-driven
# Validate a schema
openspec schema validate spec-driven
```
### Option B: Dedicated `openspec customize` command
```bash
# Interactive schema customization
openspec customize
# Prompts: Which schema? What do you want to change? etc.
# Copy and open for editing
openspec customize spec-driven
# Copies to user dir, prints path, optionally opens in $EDITOR
```
### Option C: Init-time schema selection
```bash
# During project init, offer schema customization
openspec init
# ? Select a workflow schema:
# > spec-driven (default)
# tdd
# minimal
# custom (copy and edit)
```
### Recommended Approach
**Option A** provides the most flexibility and follows Unix conventions (subcommands for discrete operations). Key commands in priority order:
1. `openspec schema list` — see what's available
2. `openspec schema which <name>` — debug resolution
3. `openspec schema copy <name>` — scaffold customization
4. `openspec schema diff <name>` — compare with built-in
5. `openspec schema reset <name>` — revert to defaults
---
## Implementation Considerations
### Path Resolution
The resolver already exists in `src/core/artifact-graph/resolver.ts`:
```typescript
export function getPackageSchemasDir(): string { ... }
export function getUserSchemasDir(): string { ... }
export function getSchemaDir(name: string): string | null { ... }
export function listSchemas(): string[] { ... }
```
New commands would leverage these existing functions.
### File Operations
- Copy should preserve file permissions
- Copy should not overwrite existing user files without `--force`
- Reset should prompt for confirmation
### Template-Only Overrides
A future enhancement could support overriding individual templates without copying the entire schema. This would require changes to the resolution logic:
```
Current: schema dir (user) OR schema dir (built-in)
Future: schema.yaml from user OR built-in
+ each template from user OR built-in (independent fallback)
```
This adds complexity but enables the "I just want to change one template" use case.

# Schema Workflow: End-to-End Analysis
This document analyzes the complete user journey for working with schemas in OpenSpec, identifies gaps, and proposes a phased solution.
---
## Current State
### What Exists
| Component | Status |
|-----------|--------|
| Schema resolution (XDG) | 2-level: user override → package built-in |
| Built-in schemas | `spec-driven`, `tdd` |
| Artifact workflow commands | `status`, `next`, `instructions`, `templates` with `--schema` flag |
| Change creation | `openspec new change <name>` — no schema binding |
### What's Missing
| Component | Status |
|-----------|--------|
| Schema bound to change | Not stored — must pass `--schema` every time |
| Project-local schemas | Not supported — can't version control with repo |
| Schema management CLI | None — manual path discovery required |
| Project default schema | None — hardcoded to `spec-driven` |
---
## User Journey Analysis
### Scenario 1: Using a Non-Default Schema
**Goal:** User wants to use TDD workflow for a new feature.
**Today's experience:**
```bash
openspec new change add-auth
# Creates directory, no schema info stored
openspec status --change add-auth
# Shows spec-driven artifacts (WRONG - user wanted TDD)
# User realizes mistake...
openspec status --change add-auth --schema tdd
# Correct, but must remember --schema every time
# 6 months later...
openspec status --change add-auth
# Wrong again - nobody remembers this was TDD
```
**Problems:**
- Schema is a runtime argument, not persisted
- Easy to forget `--schema` and get wrong results
- No record of intended schema for future reference
---
### Scenario 2: Customizing a Schema
**Goal:** User wants to add a "research" artifact before "proposal".
**Today's experience:**
```bash
# Step 1: Figure out where to put overrides
# Must know XDG conventions:
# macOS/Linux: ~/.local/share/openspec/schemas/
# Windows: %LOCALAPPDATA%\openspec\schemas/
# Step 2: Create directory structure
mkdir -p ~/.local/share/openspec/schemas/my-workflow/templates
# Step 3: Find the npm package to copy defaults
npm list -g openspec --parseable
# Output varies by package manager:
# npm: /usr/local/lib/node_modules/openspec
# pnpm: ~/.local/share/pnpm/global/5/node_modules/openspec
# volta: ~/.volta/tools/image/packages/openspec/...
# yarn: ~/.config/yarn/global/node_modules/openspec
# Step 4: Copy files
cp -r <package-path>/schemas/spec-driven/* \
~/.local/share/openspec/schemas/my-workflow/
# Step 5: Edit schema.yaml and templates
# No way to verify override is active
# No way to diff against original
```
**Problems:**
- Must know XDG path conventions
- Finding npm package path varies by install method
- No tooling to scaffold or verify
- No diff capability when upgrading openspec
---
### Scenario 3: Team Sharing Custom Workflow
**Goal:** Team wants everyone to use the same custom schema.
**Today's options:**
1. Everyone manually sets up XDG override — error-prone, drift risk
2. Document setup in README — still manual, easy to miss
3. Publish separate npm package — overkill for most teams
4. Check schema into repo — **not supported** (no project-local resolution)
**Problems:**
- No project-local schema resolution
- Can't version control custom schemas with the codebase
- No single source of truth for team workflow
---
## Gap Summary
| Gap | Impact | Workaround |
|-----|--------|------------|
| Schema not bound to change | Wrong results, forgotten context | Remember to pass `--schema` |
| No project-local schemas | Can't share via repo | Manual XDG setup per machine |
| No schema management CLI | Manual path hunting | Know XDG + find npm package |
| No project default schema | Must specify every time | Always pass `--schema` |
| No init-time schema selection | Missed setup opportunity | Manual config |
---
## Proposed Architecture
### New File Structure
```
openspec/
├── config.yaml # Project config (NEW)
├── schemas/ # Project-local schemas (NEW)
│ └── my-workflow/
│ ├── schema.yaml
│ └── templates/
│ ├── research.md
│ ├── proposal.md
│ └── ...
└── changes/
└── add-auth/
├── change.yaml # Change metadata (NEW)
├── proposal.md
└── ...
```
### config.yaml (Project Config)
```yaml
# openspec/config.yaml
defaultSchema: spec-driven
```
Sets the project-wide default schema. Used when:
- Creating new changes without `--schema`
- Running commands on changes without `change.yaml`
### change.yaml (Change Metadata)
```yaml
# openspec/changes/add-auth/change.yaml
schema: tdd
created: 2025-01-15T10:30:00Z
description: Add user authentication system
```
Binds a specific schema to a change. Created automatically by `openspec new change`.
### Schema Resolution Order
```
1. ./openspec/schemas/<name>/ # Project-local
2. ~/.local/share/openspec/schemas/<name>/ # User global (XDG)
3. <npm-package>/schemas/<name>/ # Built-in
```
Project-local takes priority, enabling version-controlled custom schemas.
### Schema Selection Order (Per Command)
```
1. --schema CLI flag # Explicit override
2. change.yaml in change directory # Change-specific binding
3. openspec/config.yaml defaultSchema # Project default
4. "spec-driven" # Hardcoded fallback
```
---
## Ideal User Experience
### Creating a Change
```bash
# Uses project default (from config.yaml, or spec-driven)
openspec new change add-auth
# Creates openspec/changes/add-auth/change.yaml:
# schema: spec-driven
# created: 2025-01-15T10:30:00Z
# Explicit schema for this change
openspec new change add-auth --schema tdd
# Creates change.yaml with schema: tdd
```
### Working with Changes
```bash
# Auto-reads schema from change.yaml — no --schema needed
openspec status --change add-auth
# Output: "Change: add-auth (schema: tdd)"
# Shows which artifacts are ready/blocked/done
# Explicit override still works (with informational message)
openspec status --change add-auth --schema spec-driven
# "Note: change.yaml specifies 'tdd', using 'spec-driven' per --schema flag"
```
### Customizing Schemas
```bash
# See what's available
openspec schema list
# Built-in:
# spec-driven proposal → specs → design → tasks
# tdd spec → tests → implementation → docs
# Project: (none)
# User: (none)
# Copy to project for customization
openspec schema copy spec-driven my-workflow
# Created ./openspec/schemas/my-workflow/
# Edit schema.yaml and templates/ to customize
# Copy to global (user-level override)
openspec schema copy spec-driven --global
# Created ~/.local/share/openspec/schemas/spec-driven/
# See where a schema resolves from
openspec schema which spec-driven
# ./openspec/schemas/spec-driven/ (project)
# or: ~/.local/share/openspec/schemas/spec-driven/ (user)
# or: /usr/local/lib/node_modules/openspec/schemas/spec-driven/ (built-in)
# Compare override with built-in
openspec schema diff spec-driven
# Shows diff between user/project version and package built-in
# Remove override, revert to built-in
openspec schema reset spec-driven
# Removes ./openspec/schemas/spec-driven/ (or --global for user dir)
```
### Project Setup
```bash
openspec init
# ? Select default workflow schema:
# > spec-driven (proposal → specs → design → tasks)
# tdd (spec → tests → implementation → docs)
# (custom schemas if detected)
#
# Writes to openspec/config.yaml:
# defaultSchema: spec-driven
```
---
## Implementation Phases
### Phase 1: Change Metadata (change.yaml)
**Priority:** High
**Solves:** "Forgot --schema", lost context, wrong results
**Scope:**
- Create `change.yaml` when running `openspec new change`
- Store `schema`, `created` timestamp
- Modify workflow commands to read schema from `change.yaml`
- `--schema` flag overrides (with informational message)
- Backwards compatible: missing `change.yaml` → use default
**change.yaml format:**
```yaml
schema: tdd
created: 2025-01-15T10:30:00Z
```
**Migration:**
- Existing changes without `change.yaml` continue to work
- Default to `spec-driven` (current behavior)
- Optional: `openspec migrate` to add `change.yaml` to existing changes
---
### Phase 2: Project-Local Schemas
**Priority:** High
**Solves:** Team sharing, version control, no XDG knowledge needed
**Scope:**
- Add `./openspec/schemas/` to resolution order (first priority)
- `openspec schema copy <name> [new-name]` creates in project by default
- `--global` flag for user-level XDG directory
- Teams can commit `openspec/schemas/` to repo
**Resolution order:**
```
1. ./openspec/schemas/<name>/ # Project-local (NEW)
2. ~/.local/share/openspec/schemas/<name>/ # User global
3. <npm-package>/schemas/<name>/ # Built-in
```
---
### Phase 3: Schema Management CLI
**Priority:** Medium
**Solves:** Path discovery, scaffolding, debugging
**Commands:**
```bash
openspec schema list # Show available schemas with sources
openspec schema which <name> # Show resolution path
openspec schema copy <name> [to] # Copy for customization
openspec schema diff <name> # Compare with built-in
openspec schema reset <name> # Remove override
openspec schema validate <name> # Validate schema.yaml structure
```
---
### Phase 4: Project Config + Init Enhancement
**Priority:** Low
**Solves:** Project-wide defaults, streamlined setup
**Scope:**
- Add `openspec/config.yaml` with `defaultSchema` field
- `openspec init` prompts for schema selection
- Store selection in `config.yaml`
- Commands use as fallback when no `change.yaml` exists
**config.yaml format:**
```yaml
defaultSchema: spec-driven
```
---
## Backwards Compatibility
| Scenario | Behavior |
|----------|----------|
| Existing change without `change.yaml` | Uses `--schema` flag or project default or `spec-driven` |
| Existing project without `config.yaml` | Falls back to `spec-driven` |
| `--schema` flag provided | Overrides `change.yaml` (with info message) |
| No project-local schemas dir | Skipped in resolution, checks user/built-in |
All existing functionality continues to work. New features are additive.

## MODIFIED Requirements
### Requirement: Slash Command Configuration
The init command SHALL generate slash command files for supported editors using shared templates.
#### Scenario: Generating slash commands for Antigravity
- **WHEN** the user selects Antigravity during initialization
- **THEN** create `.agent/workflows/openspec-proposal.md`, `.agent/workflows/openspec-apply.md`, and `.agent/workflows/openspec-archive.md`
- **AND** ensure each file begins with YAML frontmatter that contains only a `description: <stage summary>` field followed by the shared OpenSpec workflow instructions wrapped in managed markers
- **AND** populate the workflow body with the same proposal/apply/archive guidance used for other tools so Antigravity behaves like Windsurf while pointing to the `.agent/workflows/` directory

## MODIFIED Requirements
### Requirement: Slash Command Updates
The update command SHALL refresh existing slash command files for configured tools without creating new ones, and ensure the OpenCode archive command accepts change ID arguments.
#### Scenario: Updating slash commands for Antigravity
- **WHEN** `.agent/workflows/` contains `openspec-proposal.md`, `openspec-apply.md`, and `openspec-archive.md`
- **THEN** refresh the OpenSpec-managed portion of each file so the workflow copy matches other tools while preserving the existing single-field `description` frontmatter
- **AND** skip creating any missing workflow files during update, mirroring the behavior for Windsurf and other IDEs
@@ -0,0 +1,11 @@
## Why
Manual setup for new changes leads to formatting mistakes in spec deltas and slows agents who must recreate the same file skeletons for every proposal. A built-in scaffold command will generate compliant templates so assistants can focus on the change content instead of structure.
## What Changes
- Add an `openspec scaffold <change-id>` CLI command that creates a change directory (if it does not already exist) with validated `proposal.md`, `tasks.md`, and spec delta templates.
- Update CLI documentation and quick-reference guidance so agents discover the scaffold workflow before drafting files manually, including reminders on when to create spec deltas.
- Add automated coverage (unit/integ tests) to ensure the command respects naming rules, copies templates correctly, fails for existing directories, and produces output that passes `openspec validate --strict` untouched.
## Impact
- Affected specs: `specs/cli-scaffold`
- Affected code: `src/cli/index.ts`, `src/commands`, `docs/`
@@ -0,0 +1,36 @@
## ADDED Requirements
### Requirement: Scaffolding Command Registration
The CLI SHALL expose an `openspec scaffold <change-id>` command that validates the change identifier before generating files.
#### Scenario: Registering scaffold command
- **WHEN** a user runs `openspec scaffold add-user-notifications`
- **THEN** the CLI SHALL reject invalid identifiers (non kebab-case) before proceeding
- **AND** display usage documentation via `openspec scaffold --help`
- **AND** exit with code 0 after successful scaffolding
### Requirement: Change Directory Structure
The scaffold command SHALL create the standard change workspace (if it does not already exist) with proposal, tasks, optional design, and `specs/` directories laid out according to OpenSpec conventions.
#### Scenario: Generating change workspace
- **WHEN** scaffolding a new change with id `add-user-notifications`
- **THEN** create `openspec/changes/add-user-notifications/` if it does not exist
- **AND** copy the default template bundle (proposal, tasks, design placeholders) into that directory in a single operation
- **AND** create an empty `openspec/changes/add-user-notifications/specs/` directory ready for capability-specific deltas that will be authored later
### Requirement: Template Content Guidance
The scaffold command SHALL populate generated Markdown files with OpenSpec-compliant templates so authors can copy, edit, and pass validation without reformatting.
#### Scenario: Populating proposal and tasks templates
- **WHEN** the scaffold command writes `proposal.md`
- **THEN** include the `## Why`, `## What Changes`, and `## Impact` headings with placeholder guidance text
- **AND** ensure `tasks.md` starts with `## 1. Implementation` and numbered checklist items using `- [ ]` syntax
- **AND** annotate optional sections (like `design.md`) with inline TODO comments so users understand when to keep or delete them
- **AND** include a short reminder inside `specs/README.md` (or similar) instructing authors to add deltas once they know the affected capability
### Requirement: Idempotent Execution
The scaffold command SHALL be safe to rerun, preserving user edits while filling in any missing managed sections.
#### Scenario: Rerunning scaffold on existing change
- **WHEN** the command is executed again for an existing change directory containing user-edited files
- **THEN** leave existing content untouched except for managed placeholder regions or missing files that need creation
- **AND** update the filesystem summary to highlight which files were skipped, created, or refreshed

## 1. CLI scaffolding command
- [ ] 1.1 Register an `openspec scaffold` command in the CLI entrypoint with `change-id` argument validation.
- [ ] 1.2 Implement generator logic that copies the default change template bundle (`proposal.md`, `tasks.md`, optional `design.md`, `specs/README.md`) into `openspec/changes/<id>/`, creating the directory tree in a single pass.
- [ ] 1.3 Detect when `openspec/changes/<id>/` already exists and exit with a clear error instead of overwriting user files.

- [ ] 2.2 Refresh CLI docs/README/help text to mention the scaffold workflow, template bundle contents, and when to add spec deltas manually.
## 3. Test coverage
- [ ] 3.1 Add unit tests covering name validation, template copying, and existing-directory failures.
- [ ] 3.2 Add integration coverage ensuring a freshly scaffolded change (without deltas) passes `openspec validate --strict` until the author customizes it.

## Context
Slice 4 of the artifact workflow POC. The core functionality (ArtifactGraph, InstructionLoader, change-utils) is complete. This slice adds CLI commands to expose the artifact workflow to users.
**Key constraint**: This is experimental. Commands must be isolated for easy removal if the feature doesn't work out.
## Goals / Non-Goals
- **Goals:**
- Expose artifact workflow status and instructions via CLI
- Provide fluid UX with top-level verb commands
- Support both human-readable and JSON output
- Enable agents to programmatically query workflow state
- Keep implementation isolated for easy removal
- **Non-Goals:**
- Interactive artifact creation wizards (future work)
- Schema management commands (deferred)
- Auto-detection of active change (CLI is deterministic, agents infer)
## Decisions
### Command Structure: Top-Level Verbs
Commands are top-level for maximum fluidity:
```
openspec status --change <id>
openspec next --change <id>
openspec instructions <artifact> --change <id>
openspec templates [--schema <name>]
openspec new change <name>
```
**Rationale:**
- Most fluid UX - fewest keystrokes
- Commands are unique enough to avoid conflicts
- Simple mental model for users
**Trade-off accepted:** Slight namespace pollution, but commands are distinct and can be removed cleanly.
### Experimental Isolation
All artifact workflow commands are implemented in a single file:
```
src/commands/artifact-workflow.ts
```
**To remove the feature:**
1. Delete `src/commands/artifact-workflow.ts`
2. Remove ~5 lines from `src/cli/index.ts`
No other files touched, no risk to stable functionality.
### Deterministic CLI with Explicit `--change`
All change-specific commands require `--change <id>`:
```bash
openspec status --change add-auth # explicit, works
openspec status # error: missing --change
```
**Rationale:**
- CLI is pure, testable, no hidden state
- Agents infer change from conversation and pass explicitly
- No config file tracking "active change"
- Consistent with POC design philosophy
### New Change Command Structure
Creating changes uses explicit subcommand:
```bash
openspec new change add-feature
```
**Rationale:**
- `openspec new <name>` is ambiguous (new what?)
- `openspec new change <name>` is clear and extensible
- Can add `openspec new spec <name>` later if needed
### Output Formats
- **Default**: Human-readable text with visual indicators
- Status: `[x]` done, `[ ]` ready, `[-]` blocked
- Colors: green (done), yellow (ready), red (blocked)
- **JSON** (`--json`): Machine-readable for scripts and agents
### Error Handling
- Missing `--change`: Error listing available changes
- Unknown change: Error with suggestion
- Unknown artifact: Error listing valid artifacts
- Missing schema: Error with schema resolution details
## Risks / Trade-offs
| Risk | Mitigation |
|------|------------|
| Top-level commands pollute namespace | Commands are distinct; isolated for easy removal |
| `status` confused with git | Context (`--change`) makes it clear |
| Feature doesn't work out | Single file deletion removes everything |
## Implementation Notes
- All commands in `src/commands/artifact-workflow.ts`
- Imports from `src/core/artifact-graph/` for all operations
- Uses `getActiveChangeIds()` from `item-discovery.ts` for change listing
- Follows existing CLI patterns (ora spinners, commander.js options)
- Help text marks commands as "Experimental"

## Why
The ArtifactGraph (Slice 1) and InstructionLoader (Slice 3) provide programmatic APIs for artifact-based workflow management. Users currently have no CLI interface to:
- See artifact completion status for a change
- Discover what artifacts are ready to create
- Get enriched instructions for creating artifacts
- Create new changes with proper validation
This proposal adds CLI commands that expose the artifact workflow functionality to users and agents.
## What Changes
- **NEW**: `openspec status --change <id>` shows artifact completion state
- **NEW**: `openspec next --change <id>` shows artifacts ready to create
- **NEW**: `openspec instructions <artifact> --change <id>` outputs enriched template
- **NEW**: `openspec templates [--schema <name>]` shows resolved template paths
- **NEW**: `openspec new change <name>` creates a new change directory
All commands are top-level for fluid UX. They integrate with existing core modules:
- Uses `loadChangeContext()`, `formatChangeStatus()`, `generateInstructions()` from instruction-loader
- Uses `ArtifactGraph`, `detectCompleted()` from artifact-graph
- Uses `createChange()`, `validateChangeName()` from change-utils
**Experimental isolation**: All commands are implemented in a single file (`src/commands/artifact-workflow.ts`) for easy removal if the feature doesn't work out. Help text marks them as experimental.
## Impact
- Affected specs: NEW `cli-artifact-workflow` capability
- Affected code:
- `src/cli/index.ts` - register new commands
- `src/commands/artifact-workflow.ts` - new command implementations
- No changes to existing commands or specs
- Builds on completed Slice 1, 2, and 3 implementations

# Design: Unify Change State Model
## Overview
This change fixes two bugs with minimal disruption to the existing system:
1. **View bug**: Empty changes incorrectly shown as "Completed"
2. **Artifact workflow bug**: Commands fail on scaffolded changes
## Key Design Decision: Two Systems, Two Purposes
The task-based and artifact-based systems serve **different purposes** and should coexist:
| System | Purpose | Used By |
|--------|---------|---------|
| **Task Progress** | Track implementation work | `openspec view`, `openspec list` |
| **Artifact Progress** | Track planning/spec work | `openspec status`, `openspec next` |
We do NOT merge these systems. Instead, we fix each to work correctly in its domain.
## Change 1: Fix View Command
### Current Logic (Buggy)
```typescript
// view.ts line 90
if (progress.total === 0 || progress.completed === progress.total) {
completed.push({ name: entry.name });
}
```
Problem: `total === 0` means "no tasks defined yet", not "all tasks done".
### New Logic
```typescript
if (progress.total === 0) {
draft.push({ name: entry.name });
} else if (progress.completed === progress.total) {
completed.push({ name: entry.name });
} else {
active.push({ name: entry.name, progress });
}
```
### View Output Change
**Before:**
```
Completed Changes
─────────────────
✓ add-feature (all tasks done - correct)
✓ test-workflow (no tasks - WRONG)
```
**After:**
```
Draft Changes
─────────────────
○ test-workflow (no tasks yet)
Active Changes
─────────────────
◉ add-scaffold [████░░░░] 3/7 tasks
Completed Changes
─────────────────
✓ add-feature (all tasks done)
```
## Change 2: Fix Artifact Workflow Discovery
### Current Logic (Buggy)
```typescript
// artifact-workflow.ts - validateChangeExists()
const activeChanges = await getActiveChangeIds(projectRoot);
if (!activeChanges.includes(changeName)) {
throw new Error(`Change '${changeName}' not found...`);
}
```
Problem: `getActiveChangeIds()` requires `proposal.md`, but artifact workflow should work on empty directories to help create the first artifact.
### New Logic
```typescript
async function validateChangeExists(changeName: string, projectRoot: string): Promise<string> {
const changePath = path.join(projectRoot, 'openspec', 'changes', changeName);
// Check directory existence directly, not proposal.md
if (!fs.existsSync(changePath) || !fs.statSync(changePath).isDirectory()) {
// List available changes for helpful error message
const entries = await fs.promises.readdir(
path.join(projectRoot, 'openspec', 'changes'),
{ withFileTypes: true }
);
const available = entries
.filter(e => e.isDirectory() && e.name !== 'archive' && !e.name.startsWith('.'))
.map(e => e.name);
if (available.length === 0) {
throw new Error('No changes found. Create one with: openspec new change <name>');
}
throw new Error(`Change '${changeName}' not found. Available:\n ${available.join('\n ')}`);
}
return changeName;
}
```
### Behavior Change
```bash
# Before
$ openspec new change foo
$ openspec status --change foo
Error: Change 'foo' not found.
# After
$ openspec new change foo
$ openspec status --change foo
Change: foo
Progress: 0/4 artifacts complete
[ ] proposal
[-] specs (blocked by: proposal)
[-] design (blocked by: proposal)
[-] tasks (blocked by: specs, design)
```
## What Stays the Same
1. **`getActiveChangeIds()`** - Still requires `proposal.md` (used by validate, show)
2. **`getArchivedChangeIds()`** - Unchanged
3. **Active/Completed semantics** - Still based on task checkboxes
4. **Validation** - Still requires `proposal.md` to have something to validate
## File Changes
| File | Change |
|------|--------|
| `src/core/view.ts` | Add draft category, fix completion logic |
| `src/commands/artifact-workflow.ts` | Update `validateChangeExists()` to use directory existence |
| `test/commands/artifact-workflow.test.ts` | Add tests for scaffolded changes |
## Testing Strategy
1. **Unit test**: `validateChangeExists()` with scaffolded change
2. **View test**: Verify three categories render correctly
3. **Manual test**: Full workflow from `new change` → `status` → `view`

# Proposal: Unify Change State Model
## Problem Statement
Two bugs create inconsistent behavior when working with changes:
### Bug 1: Empty changes shown as "Completed" in view
```typescript
// view.ts line 90
if (progress.total === 0 || progress.completed === progress.total) {
completed.push({ name: entry.name }); // BUG: total === 0 ≠ completed
}
```
Result: `openspec new change foo && openspec view` shows `foo` as "Completed" when it has no content.
### Bug 2: Artifact workflow commands can't find scaffolded changes
```typescript
// item-discovery.ts - getActiveChangeIds()
const proposalPath = path.join(changesPath, entry.name, 'proposal.md');
await fs.access(proposalPath); // Only returns changes WITH proposal.md
```
Result: `openspec status --change foo` says "not found" even though the directory exists.
## Root Cause
The system conflates two different concepts:
| Concept | Question | Source of Truth |
|---------|----------|-----------------|
| **Planning Progress** | Are all spec documents created? | File existence (ArtifactGraph) |
| **Implementation Progress** | Is the coding work done? | Task checkboxes (tasks.md) |
## Proposed Solution
### Fix 1: Add "Draft" state to view command
Keep Active/Completed with their existing meanings, but fix the bug:
| State | Criteria | Meaning |
|-------|----------|---------|
| **Draft** | No tasks.md OR `tasks.total === 0` | Still planning |
| **Active** | `tasks.total > 0` AND `completed < total` | Implementing |
| **Completed** | `tasks.total > 0` AND `completed === total` | Done |
### Fix 2: Artifact workflow uses directory existence
Update `validateChangeExists()` to check if the directory exists, not if `proposal.md` exists. This allows the artifact workflow to guide users through creating their first artifact.
### Keep existing discovery functions
`getActiveChangeIds()` continues to require `proposal.md` for backward compatibility with validation and other commands.
## What Changes
| Command | Before | After |
|---------|--------|-------|
| `openspec view` | Empty = "Completed" | Empty = "Draft" |
| `openspec status --change X` | Requires proposal.md | Works on any directory |
| `openspec validate X` | Requires proposal.md | Unchanged (still requires it) |
## Breaking Changes
### Minimal Breaking Change
1. **`openspec view` output**: Empty changes move from "Completed" section to new "Draft" section
### Non-Breaking
- Active/Completed semantics unchanged (still task-based)
- `getActiveChangeIds()` unchanged
- `openspec validate` unchanged
- Archived changes unaffected
## Out of Scope
- Merging task-based and artifact-based progress (they serve different purposes)
- Changing what "Completed" means (it stays = all tasks done)
- Adding artifact progress to view command (separate enhancement)
- Shell tab completions for artifact workflow commands (not yet registered)
## Related Commands Analysis
| Command | Uses `getActiveChangeIds()` | Should include scaffolded? | Change needed? |
|---------|-----------------------------|-----------------------------|----------------|
| `openspec view` | No (reads dirs directly) | Yes → Draft section | **Yes** |
| `openspec list` | No (reads dirs directly) | Yes (shows "No tasks") | No |
| `openspec status/next/instructions` | Yes | Yes | **Yes** |
| `openspec validate` | Yes | No (can't validate empty) | No |
| `openspec show` | Yes | No (nothing to show) | No |
| Tab completions | Yes | Future enhancement | No |
## Success Criteria
1. `openspec new change foo && openspec view` shows `foo` in "Draft" section
2. `openspec new change foo && openspec status --change foo` works
3. Changes with all tasks done still show as "Completed"
4. All existing tests pass

## Why
With per-change schema metadata in place (see `add-per-change-schema-metadata`), agents can now create changes with different workflow schemas. However, the agent skills are still hardcoded to `spec-driven` artifacts and don't offer schema selection to users.
## What Changes
**Scope: Experimental artifact workflow agent skills**
**Depends on:** `add-per-change-schema-metadata` (must be implemented first)
- Update `openspec-new-change` skill to prompt user for schema selection
- Update `openspec-continue-change` skill to work with any schema's artifacts
- Update `openspec-apply-change` skill to handle schema-specific task structures
- Add schema descriptions to help users choose appropriate workflow
## Capabilities
### Modified Capabilities
- `cli-artifact-workflow`: Agent skills support dynamic schema selection
## Impact
- **Affected code**: `src/core/templates/skill-templates.ts`
- **User experience**: Users can choose TDD, spec-driven, or future workflows when starting a change
- **Agent behavior**: Skills read artifact list from schema rather than hardcoding
- **Backward compatible**: Default remains `spec-driven` if user doesn't choose

## Prerequisites
- [x] 0.1 Implement `add-per-change-schema-metadata` change first
## 1. Schema Discovery
- [x] 1.1 Add CLI command or helper to list schemas with descriptions (for agent use)

## 2. Update New Change Skill
- [x] 2.1 Add schema selection prompt using AskUserQuestion tool
- [x] 2.2 Present available schemas with descriptions (spec-driven, tdd, etc.)
- [x] 2.3 Pass selected schema to `openspec new change --schema <name>`
- [x] 2.4 Update output to show which schema/workflow was selected
## 3. Update Continue Change Skill
- [x] 3.1 Remove hardcoded artifact references (proposal, specs, design, tasks)
- [x] 3.2 Read artifact list dynamically from `openspec status --json`
- [x] 3.3 Adjust artifact creation guidelines to be schema-agnostic
- [x] 3.4 Handle schema-specific artifact types (e.g., TDD's `tests` artifact)
## 4. Update Apply Change Skill
- [x] 4.1 Make task detection work with different schema structures
- [x] 4.2 Adjust context file reading for schema-specific artifacts
## 5. Documentation
- [x] 5.1 Add schema descriptions to help text or skill instructions
- [x] 5.2 Document when to use each schema (TDD for bug fixes, spec-driven for features, etc.)

## Context
The experimental artifact workflow supports multiple schemas (`spec-driven`, `tdd`), but schema selection must be passed on every command. This creates friction for agents and users.
We need a lightweight metadata file to persist the schema choice per change.
## Goals / Non-Goals
**Goals:**
- Store schema choice once at change creation
- Auto-detect schema in experimental workflow commands
- Maintain backward compatibility (no metadata = default)
- Validate metadata with Zod schema
**Non-Goals:**
- Migrate existing changes (they use default)
- Extend to legacy commands
- Store additional metadata beyond schema (keep minimal for now)
## Decisions
### Decision: Zod Schema Design
The metadata file (`.openspec.yaml`) will be validated with this Zod schema:
```typescript
// src/core/artifact-graph/types.ts (or new metadata.ts)
import { z } from 'zod';
import { listSchemas } from './resolver.js';
/**
* Schema for per-change metadata stored in .openspec.yaml
*/
export const ChangeMetadataSchema = z.object({
// Required: which workflow schema this change uses
schema: z.string().min(1, { message: 'schema is required' }).refine(
(val) => listSchemas().includes(val),
(val) => ({ message: `Unknown schema '${val}'. Available: ${listSchemas().join(', ')}` })
),
// Optional: creation timestamp (ISO date string)
created: z.string().regex(/^\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}$/, {
message: 'created must be YYYY-MM-DD format'
}).optional(),
});
export type ChangeMetadata = z.infer<typeof ChangeMetadataSchema>;
```
**Rationale:**
- `schema` is required and validated against available schemas at parse time
- `created` is optional, ISO date format for consistency
- Minimal fields - can extend later without breaking existing files
- Follows existing codebase pattern (see `ArtifactSchema`, `SchemaYamlSchema`)
### Decision: File Location and Format
**Location:** `openspec/changes/<name>/.openspec.yaml`
**Format:**
```yaml
schema: tdd
created: 2025-01-05
```
**Alternatives considered:**
- `change.yaml` - less hidden, but clutters directory
- Frontmatter in `proposal.md` - couples to proposal existence
- `openspec.json` - YAML matches existing schema files
### Decision: Read/Write Functions
```typescript
// src/utils/change-metadata.ts
import * as fs from 'node:fs';
import * as path from 'node:path';
import * as yaml from 'yaml';
import { ChangeMetadataSchema, type ChangeMetadata } from '../core/artifact-graph/types.js';
const METADATA_FILENAME = '.openspec.yaml';
export function writeChangeMetadata(
changeDir: string,
metadata: ChangeMetadata
): void {
// Validate before writing
const validated = ChangeMetadataSchema.parse(metadata);
const content = yaml.stringify(validated);
fs.writeFileSync(path.join(changeDir, METADATA_FILENAME), content);
}
export function readChangeMetadata(
changeDir: string
): ChangeMetadata | null {
const metaPath = path.join(changeDir, METADATA_FILENAME);
if (!fs.existsSync(metaPath)) {
return null;
}
const content = fs.readFileSync(metaPath, 'utf-8');
const parsed = yaml.parse(content);
// Validate and return (throws ZodError if invalid)
return ChangeMetadataSchema.parse(parsed);
}
```
### Decision: Schema Resolution Order
When determining which schema to use:
1. **Explicit `--schema` flag** (highest priority - user override)
2. **`.openspec.yaml` metadata** (persisted choice)
3. **Default `spec-driven`** (fallback)
```typescript
function resolveSchemaForChange(
changeDir: string,
explicitSchema?: string
): string {
if (explicitSchema) return explicitSchema;
const metadata = readChangeMetadata(changeDir);
if (metadata?.schema) return metadata.schema;
return 'spec-driven';
}
```
## Risks / Trade-offs
- **Extra file per change** → Minimal overhead, hidden file
- **YAML parsing dependency** → Already using `yaml` package for schema files
- **Schema validation at read time** → Fail fast with clear error if corrupted
## Migration Plan
No migration needed:
- Existing changes without `.openspec.yaml` continue to work (use default)
- New changes created with `openspec new change --schema X` get metadata file
## Open Questions
- Should `openspec new change` prompt for schema interactively if not specified? (Leaning no - default is fine)
@@ -1,29 +0,0 @@
## Why
Currently, the schema (workflow type) must be passed via `--schema` flag on every experimental workflow command. This is repetitive and error-prone. Agents have no way to know which schema a change uses, so they default to `spec-driven` and cannot leverage alternative workflows like `tdd`.
## What Changes
**Scope: Experimental artifact workflow only** (`openspec new change`, `openspec status`, `openspec instructions`, `openspec templates`)
- Store schema choice in `.openspec.yaml` metadata file when creating a change via `openspec new change`
- Auto-detect schema from metadata in experimental workflow commands
- Make `--schema` flag optional (override only, metadata takes precedence)
- Add `--schema` option to `openspec new change` command
**Not affected**: Legacy commands (`openspec validate`, `openspec archive`, `openspec list`, `openspec show`)
## Capabilities
### New Capabilities
- `change-metadata`: Reading/writing per-change metadata files
### Modified Capabilities

## Impact
- **Affected code**: `src/utils/change-utils.ts`, `src/core/artifact-graph/instruction-loader.ts`, `src/commands/artifact-workflow.ts`
- **Agent skills**: Can be simplified - no longer need to pass schema explicitly
- **Backward compatible**: Changes without `.openspec.yaml` fall back to `spec-driven` default
- **Isolation**: All changes contained within experimental workflow code; legacy commands untouched

## Context
Currently, delta specs are only applied to main specs when running `openspec archive`. This bundles two concerns:
1. Applying spec changes (delta → main)
2. Archiving the change (move to archive folder)
Users want flexibility to sync specs earlier, especially when iterating. The archive command already contains the reconciliation logic in `buildUpdatedSpec()`.
## Goals / Non-Goals
**Goals:**
- Decouple spec syncing from archiving
- Provide `/opsx:sync` skill for agents to sync specs on demand
- Keep operation idempotent (safe to run multiple times)
**Non-Goals:**
- Tracking whether specs have been synced (no state)
- Changing archive behavior (it will continue to apply specs)
- Supporting partial application (all deltas sync together)
## Decisions
### 1. Reuse existing reconciliation logic
**Decision**: Extract `buildUpdatedSpec()` logic from `ArchiveCommand` into a shared module.
**Rationale**: The archive command already implements delta parsing and application. Rather than duplicate, we extract and reuse.
**Alternatives considered**:
- Duplicate logic in new command (rejected: maintenance burden)
- Have sync call archive with flags (rejected: coupling)
### 2. No state tracking
**Decision**: Don't track whether specs have been synced. Each invocation reads delta and main specs, reconciles.
**Rationale**:
- Idempotent operations don't need state
- Avoids sync issues between flag and reality
- Simpler implementation and mental model
**Alternatives considered**:
- Track `specsSynced: true` in `.openspec.yaml` (rejected: unnecessary complexity)
- Store snapshot of synced deltas (rejected: over-engineering)
### 3. Agent-driven approach (no CLI command)
**Decision**: The `/opsx:sync` skill is fully agent-driven - the agent reads delta specs and directly edits main specs.
**Rationale**:
- Allows intelligent merging (add scenarios without copying entire requirements)
- Delta represents *intent*, not wholesale replacement
- More flexible and natural editing workflow
- Archive still uses programmatic merge (for finalized changes)
### 4. Archive behavior unchanged
**Decision**: Archive continues to apply specs as part of its flow. If specs are already reconciled, the operation is a no-op.
**Rationale**: Backward compatibility. Users who don't use `/opsx:sync` get the same experience.
## Risks / Trade-offs
**[Risk] Multiple changes modify same spec**
→ Last to sync wins. Same as today with archive. Users should coordinate or use sequential archives.
**[Risk] User syncs specs then continues editing deltas**
→ Running `/opsx:sync` again reconciles. Idempotent design handles this.
**[Trade-off] No undo mechanism**
→ Users can `git checkout` main specs if needed. Explicit undo command is out of scope.
## Implementation Approach
1. Extract spec application logic from `ArchiveCommand.buildUpdatedSpec()` into `src/core/specs-apply.ts`
2. Add skill template for `/opsx:sync` in `skill-templates.ts`
3. Register skill in managed skills

## Why
Spec application is currently bundled with archive - users must run `openspec archive` to apply delta specs to main specs. This couples two distinct concerns (applying specs vs. archiving the change) and forces users to wait until they're "done" to see main specs updated. Users want the flexibility to sync specs earlier in the workflow while iterating.
## What Changes
- Add `/opsx:sync` skill that syncs delta specs to main specs as a standalone action
- The operation is idempotent - safe to run multiple times, agent reconciles main specs to match deltas
- Archive continues to work as today (applies specs if not already reconciled, then moves to archive)
- No new state tracking - the agent reads delta and main specs, reconciles on each run
- Agent-driven approach allows intelligent merging (partial updates, adding scenarios)
**Workflow becomes:**
```
/opsx:new → /opsx:continue → /opsx:apply → archive
│
└── /opsx:sync (optional, anytime)

#### Scenario: Sync delta specs to main specs
- **WHEN** agent executes `/opsx:sync` with a change name
- **THEN** the agent reads delta specs from `openspec/changes/<name>/specs/`
- **AND** reads corresponding main specs from `openspec/specs/`

#### Scenario: Change selection prompt
- **WHEN** agent executes `/opsx:sync` without specifying a change
- **THEN** the agent prompts user to select from available changes

### Requirement: Delta Reconciliation Logic
The agent SHALL reconcile main specs with delta specs using the delta operation headers.

- **AND** the requirement does not exist in main spec
- **THEN** add the requirement to main spec
#### Scenario: ADDED requirement already exists
- **WHEN** delta contains `## ADDED Requirements` with a requirement
- **AND** a requirement with the same name already exists in main spec
- **THEN** update the existing requirement to match the delta version
#### Scenario: MODIFIED requirements

- **THEN** replace the requirement in main spec with the delta version
#### Scenario: REMOVED requirements
- **WHEN** delta contains `## REMOVED Requirements` with a requirement name

- **THEN** remove the requirement from main spec
#### Scenario: RENAMED requirements
- **WHEN** delta contains `## RENAMED Requirements` with FROM:/TO: format

- **THEN** display summary of changes per capability:
- Number of requirements added
- Number of requirements modified
- Number of requirements removed
- Number of requirements renamed

## Tasks
### Core Implementation
- [x] Extract spec application logic from `ArchiveCommand` into `src/core/specs-apply.ts`
- Move `buildUpdatedSpec()`, `findSpecUpdates()`, `writeUpdatedSpec()` to shared module
- Keep `ArchiveCommand` importing from the new module
- Ensure all validation logic is preserved
### Skill Template
- [x] Add `getSyncSpecsSkillTemplate()` function in `src/core/templates/skill-templates.ts`
- Skill name: `openspec-sync-specs`
- Description: Sync delta specs to main specs
- **Agent-driven**: Instructions for agent to read deltas and edit main specs directly
- [x] Add `/opsx:sync` slash command template in `skill-templates.ts`
- Mirror the skill template for slash command format
- **Agent-driven**: No CLI command, agent does the merge
### Registration
- [x] Register skill in managed skills (via `artifact-experimental-setup`)
- Add to skill list with appropriate metadata
- Ensure it appears in setup output
### Design Decision
**Why agent-driven instead of CLI-driven?**
The programmatic merge operates at requirement-level granularity:
- MODIFIED requires copying ALL scenarios, not just the changed ones
- If agent forgets a scenario, it gets deleted
- Delta specs become bloated with copied content
Agent-driven approach:
- Agent can apply partial updates (add a scenario without copying others)
- Delta represents *intent*, not wholesale replacement
- More flexible and natural editing workflow
- Archive still uses programmatic merge (for finalized changes)

## Why
The `generateApplyInstructions` function is hardcoded to check for `spec-driven` artifacts (`proposal.md`, `specs/`, `design.md`, `tasks.md`). If a user selects a different schema like `tdd`, the apply instructions are meaningless - they check for files that don't exist in that schema.
This blocks the experimental workflow from supporting multiple schemas properly.
## What Changes
**Scope: Experimental artifact workflow** (`openspec instructions apply`)
**Depends on:** `add-per-change-schema-metadata` (to know which schema a change uses)
- Make `generateApplyInstructions` read artifact definitions from the schema
- Dynamically determine which artifacts exist based on schema
- Define when a change becomes "implementable" (see Design Decision below)
- Generate schema-appropriate context files and instructions
## Design Decision: When is a change implementable?
This is the key question. Different approaches:
### Option A: Explicit `apply` artifact in schema
Add a field to mark which artifact is the "implementation gate":
```yaml
artifacts:
- id: tasks
generates: tasks.md
apply: true # ← This artifact triggers apply mode
```
**Pros:** Explicit, flexible
**Cons:** Another field to maintain, what if multiple artifacts are `apply: true`?
### Option B: Leaf artifacts are implementable
The artifact(s) with no dependents (nothing depends on them) are the apply target.
- `spec-driven`: `tasks` is a leaf → apply = execute tasks
- `tdd`: `docs` is a leaf → but that doesn't make sense for TDD...
**Pros:** No extra schema field, derived from graph
**Cons:** Doesn't match TDD semantics (implementation is the action, not docs)
### Option C: Schema-level `apply_phase` definition
Add a top-level field to the schema:
```yaml
name: spec-driven
apply_phase:
requires: [tasks] # Must exist before apply
tracks: tasks.md # File with checkboxes to track
instruction: "Work through tasks, mark complete as you go"
```
```yaml
name: tdd
apply_phase:
requires: [tests] # Must have tests before implementing
tracks: null # No checkbox tracking - just make tests pass
instruction: "Run tests, implement until green, refactor"
```
**Pros:** Full flexibility, schema controls its own apply semantics
**Cons:** More complex schema format
### Option D: Convention-based (artifact ID matching)
If artifact ID is `tasks` or `implementation`, it's the apply target.
**Pros:** Simple, no schema changes
**Cons:** Brittle, doesn't work for custom schemas
### Option E: All artifacts complete → apply available
Apply becomes available when ALL schema artifacts exist. Implementation is whatever the user does after planning.
**Pros:** Simple, no schema changes
**Cons:** Doesn't guide what "apply" means for different workflows
---
## Decision: Add `apply` block to schema.yaml
Add a top-level `apply` field to schema definitions:
```yaml
name: spec-driven
version: 1
description: Default OpenSpec workflow
artifacts:
# ... existing artifacts ...
apply:
requires: [tasks] # Artifacts that must exist before apply
tracks: tasks.md # File with checkboxes for progress (optional)
instruction: | # Guidance shown to agent
Read context files, work through pending tasks, mark complete as you go.
Pause if you hit blockers or need clarification.
```
```yaml
name: tdd
version: 1
description: Test-driven development workflow
artifacts:
# ... existing artifacts ...
apply:
requires: [tests] # Must have tests before implementing
tracks: null # No checkbox tracking
instruction: |
Run tests to see failures. Implement minimal code to pass each test.
Refactor while keeping tests green.
```
**Key properties:**
- `requires`: Array of artifact IDs that must exist before apply is available
- `tracks`: Path to file with checkboxes (relative to change dir), or `null` if no tracking
- `instruction`: Custom guidance for the apply phase
**Fallback behavior:** Schemas without `apply` block default to "all artifacts must exist"
## Capabilities
### Modified Capabilities
- `cli-artifact-workflow`: Apply instructions become schema-aware
## Impact
- **Affected code**: `src/commands/artifact-workflow.ts` (generateApplyInstructions)
- **Schema format**: May need new `apply_phase` field
- **Existing schemas**: Need to add apply_phase to `spec-driven` and `tdd`
- **Backward compatible**: Schemas without apply_phase can use default behavior

## ADDED Requirements
### Requirement: Schema Apply Block
The system SHALL support an `apply` block in schema definitions that controls when and how implementation begins.
#### Scenario: Schema with apply block
- **WHEN** a schema defines an `apply` block
- **THEN** the system uses `apply.requires` to determine which artifacts must exist before apply
- **AND** uses `apply.tracks` to identify the file for progress tracking (or null if none)
- **AND** uses `apply.instruction` for guidance shown to the agent
#### Scenario: Schema without apply block
- **WHEN** a schema has no `apply` block
- **THEN** the system requires all artifacts to exist before apply is available
- **AND** uses default instruction: "All artifacts complete. Proceed with implementation."
### Requirement: Apply Instructions Command
The system SHALL generate schema-aware apply instructions via `openspec instructions apply`.
#### Scenario: Generate apply instructions
- **WHEN** user runs `openspec instructions apply --change <id>`
- **AND** all required artifacts (per schema's `apply.requires`) exist
- **THEN** the system outputs:
- Context files from all existing artifacts
- Schema-specific instruction text
- Progress tracking file path (if `apply.tracks` is set)
#### Scenario: Apply blocked by missing artifacts
- **WHEN** user runs `openspec instructions apply --change <id>`
- **AND** required artifacts are missing
- **THEN** the system indicates apply is blocked
- **AND** lists which artifacts must be created first
#### Scenario: Apply instructions JSON output
- **WHEN** user runs `openspec instructions apply --change <id> --json`
- **THEN** the system outputs JSON with:
- `contextFiles`: array of paths to existing artifacts
- `instruction`: the apply instruction text
- `tracks`: path to progress file or null
- `applyRequires`: list of required artifact IDs

### Requirement: Status Command
The system SHALL display artifact completion status for a change, including apply readiness.
#### Scenario: Status JSON includes apply requirements
- **WHEN** user runs `openspec status --change <id> --json`

- `changeName`, `schemaName`, `isComplete`, `artifacts` array
- `applyRequires`: array of artifact IDs needed for apply phase

## Context
The experimental workflow (OPSX) provides a complete lifecycle for creating changes:
- `/opsx:new` - Scaffold a new change with schema
- `/opsx:continue` - Create next artifact
- `/opsx:ff` - Fast-forward all artifacts
- `/opsx:apply` - Implement tasks
- `/opsx:sync` - Sync delta specs to main
The missing piece is archiving. The existing `openspec archive` command works but:
1. Applies specs programmatically (not agent-driven)
2. Doesn't use the artifact graph for completion checking
3. Doesn't integrate with the OPSX workflow philosophy
## Goals / Non-Goals
**Goals:**
- Add `/opsx:archive` skill to complete the OPSX workflow lifecycle
- Use artifact graph for schema-aware completion checking
- Integrate with `/opsx:sync` for agent-driven spec syncing
- Preserve `.openspec.yaml` schema metadata in archive
**Non-Goals:**
- Replacing the existing `openspec archive` CLI command
- Changing how specs are applied in the CLI command
- Modifying the artifact graph or schema system
## Decisions
### Decision 1: Skill-only implementation (no new CLI command)
The `/opsx:archive` will be a slash command/skill only, not a new CLI command.
**Rationale**: The existing `openspec archive` CLI command already handles the core archive functionality (moving to archive folder, date prefixing). The OPSX version just needs different pre-archive checks and optional sync prompting, which are agent behaviors better suited to a skill.
**Alternatives considered**:
- Adding flags to `openspec archive` (e.g., `--experimental`) - Rejected: adds complexity to CLI, harder to maintain two code paths
- New CLI command `openspec archive-experimental` - Rejected: unnecessary duplication, agent skills are the OPSX pattern
### Decision 2: Prompt for sync before archive
The skill will check for unsynced delta specs and prompt the user before archiving.
**Rationale**: The OPSX philosophy is agent-driven intelligent merging via `/opsx:sync`. Rather than programmatically applying specs like the regular archive command, we prompt the user to sync first if needed. This maintains workflow flexibility (user can decline and just archive).
**Flow**:
1. Check if `specs/` directory exists in the change
2. If yes, ask: "This change has delta specs. Would you like to sync them to main specs before archiving?"
3. If user says yes, execute `/opsx:sync` logic
4. Proceed with archive regardless of answer
### Decision 3: Use artifact graph for completion checking
The skill will use `openspec status --change "<name>" --json` to check artifact completion instead of just validating proposal.md and specs.
**Rationale**: The experimental workflow is schema-aware. Different schemas have different required artifacts. The artifact graph knows which artifacts are complete/incomplete for the current schema.
**Behavior**:
- Show warning if any artifacts are not `done`
- Don't block archive (user may have valid reasons to archive early)
- List incomplete artifacts so user can make informed decision
### Decision 4: Reuse tasks.md completion check from regular archive
The skill will parse tasks.md and warn about incomplete tasks, same as regular archive.
**Rationale**: Task completion checking is valuable regardless of workflow. The logic is simple (count `- [ ]` vs `- [x]`) and doesn't need special OPSX handling.
### Decision 5: Move change to archive/ with date prefix
Same archive behavior as regular command: move to `openspec/changes/archive/YYYY-MM-DD-<name>/`.
**Rationale**: Consistency with existing archive convention. The `.openspec.yaml` file moves with the change, preserving schema metadata.
## Risks / Trade-offs
**Risk**: Users confused about when to use `/opsx:archive` vs `openspec archive`
→ **Mitigation**: Documentation should clarify: use `/opsx:archive` if you've been using the OPSX workflow, use `openspec archive` otherwise. Both produce the same archived result.
**Risk**: Incomplete sync if user declines and has delta specs
→ **Mitigation**: The prompt is informational; user has full control. They may want to archive without syncing (e.g., abandoned change). Log a note in output.
**Trade-off**: No programmatic spec application in OPSX archive
→ **Accepted**: This is intentional. OPSX philosophy is agent-driven merging. If user wants programmatic application, use `openspec archive` instead.

## Why
The experimental workflow (OPSX) provides a schema-driven, artifact-by-artifact approach to creating changes with `/opsx:new`, `/opsx:continue`, `/opsx:ff`, `/opsx:apply`, and `/opsx:sync`. However, there's no corresponding archive command to finalize and archive completed changes. Users must currently fall back to the regular `openspec archive` command, which doesn't integrate with the OPSX philosophy of agent-driven spec syncing and schema-aware artifact tracking.
## What Changes
- Add `/opsx:archive` slash command for archiving changes in the experimental workflow
- Use artifact graph to check completion status (schema-aware) instead of just validating proposal + specs
- Prompt for `/opsx:sync` before archiving instead of programmatically applying specs
- Preserve `.openspec.yaml` schema metadata when moving to archive
- Integrate with existing OPSX commands for a cohesive workflow
## Capabilities
### New Capabilities
- `opsx-archive-skill`: Slash command and skill for archiving completed changes in the experimental workflow. Checks artifact completion via artifact graph, verifies task completion, optionally syncs specs via `/opsx:sync`, and moves the change to `archive/YYYY-MM-DD-<name>/`.
### Modified Capabilities
(none - this is a new skill that doesn't modify existing specs)
## Impact
- New file: `.claude/commands/opsx/archive.md`
- New skill definition (generated via `openspec artifact-experimental-setup`)
- No changes to existing archive command or other OPSX commands
- Completes the OPSX command suite for full lifecycle management

Validation currently errors on changes without spec deltas, even when the change is intentionally proposal-only or tooling-only. This creates false negatives and noisy CI.
## What Changes
- Make change validation scope-aware: validate only artifacts that exist.
- Only error on "No deltas found" if spec delta files exist but parse to zero deltas.
- Keep archive stricter: if specs exist but parse to zero deltas, fail; allow `--skip-specs` for tooling-only changes.

# cli-artifact-workflow Specification
## Purpose
TBD - created by archiving change add-artifact-workflow-cli. Update Purpose after archive.
## Requirements
### Requirement: Status Command
The system SHALL display artifact completion status for a change, including scaffolded (empty) changes.
> **Fixes bug**: Previously required `proposal.md` to exist via `getActiveChangeIds()`.
#### Scenario: Show status with all states
- **WHEN** user runs `openspec status --change <id>`
- **THEN** the system displays each artifact with status indicator:
- `[x]` for completed artifacts
- `[ ]` for ready artifacts
- `[-]` for blocked artifacts (with missing dependencies listed)
#### Scenario: Status shows completion summary
- **WHEN** user runs `openspec status --change <id>`
- **THEN** output includes completion percentage and count (e.g., "2/4 artifacts complete")
#### Scenario: Status JSON output
- **WHEN** user runs `openspec status --change <id> --json`
- **THEN** the system outputs JSON with changeName, schemaName, isComplete, and artifacts array
#### Scenario: Status JSON includes apply requirements
- **WHEN** user runs `openspec status --change <id> --json`
- **THEN** the system outputs JSON with:
- `changeName`, `schemaName`, `isComplete`, `artifacts` array
- `applyRequires`: array of artifact IDs needed for apply phase
#### Scenario: Status on scaffolded change
- **WHEN** user runs `openspec status --change <id>` on a change with no artifacts
- **THEN** system displays all artifacts with their status
- **AND** root artifacts (no dependencies) show as ready `[ ]`
- **AND** dependent artifacts show as blocked `[-]`
#### Scenario: Missing change parameter
- **WHEN** user runs `openspec status` without `--change`
- **THEN** the system displays an error with list of available changes
- **AND** includes scaffolded changes (directories without proposal.md)
#### Scenario: Unknown change
- **WHEN** user runs `openspec status --change unknown-id`
- **AND** directory `openspec/changes/unknown-id/` does not exist
- **THEN** the system displays an error listing all available change directories
### Requirement: Instructions Command
The system SHALL output enriched instructions for creating an artifact, including for scaffolded changes.
#### Scenario: Show enriched instructions
- **WHEN** user runs `openspec instructions <artifact> --change <id>`
- **THEN** the system outputs:
- Artifact metadata (ID, output path, description)
- Template content
- Dependency status (done/missing)
- Unlocked artifacts (what becomes available after completion)
#### Scenario: Instructions JSON output
- **WHEN** user runs `openspec instructions <artifact> --change <id> --json`
- **THEN** the system outputs JSON matching ArtifactInstructions interface
#### Scenario: Unknown artifact
- **WHEN** user runs `openspec instructions unknown-artifact --change <id>`
- **THEN** the system displays an error listing valid artifact IDs for the schema
#### Scenario: Artifact with unmet dependencies
- **WHEN** user requests instructions for a blocked artifact
- **THEN** the system displays instructions with a warning about missing dependencies
#### Scenario: Instructions on scaffolded change
- **WHEN** user runs `openspec instructions proposal --change <id>` on a scaffolded change
- **THEN** system outputs template and metadata for creating the proposal
- **AND** does not require any artifacts to already exist
### Requirement: Templates Command
The system SHALL show resolved template paths for all artifacts in a schema.
#### Scenario: List template paths with default schema
- **WHEN** user runs `openspec templates`
- **THEN** the system displays each artifact with its resolved template path using the default schema
#### Scenario: List template paths with custom schema
- **WHEN** user runs `openspec templates --schema tdd`
- **THEN** the system displays template paths for the specified schema
#### Scenario: Templates JSON output
- **WHEN** user runs `openspec templates --json`
- **THEN** the system outputs JSON mapping artifact IDs to template paths
#### Scenario: Template resolution source
- **WHEN** displaying template paths
- **THEN** the system indicates whether each template is from user override or package built-in
### Requirement: New Change Command
The system SHALL create new change directories with validation.
#### Scenario: Create valid change
- **WHEN** user runs `openspec new change add-feature`
- **THEN** the system creates `openspec/changes/add-feature/` directory

- **WHEN** user runs `openspec new change existing-change` for an existing change
- **THEN** the system displays an error indicating the change already exists
#### Scenario: Create with description
- **WHEN** user runs `openspec new change add-feature --description "Add new feature"`
- **THEN** the system creates the change directory with description in README.md
### Requirement: Schema Selection
The system SHALL support custom schema selection for workflow commands.
#### Scenario: Default schema
- **WHEN** user runs workflow commands without `--schema`
- **THEN** the system uses the "spec-driven" schema
#### Scenario: Custom schema
- **WHEN** user runs `openspec status --change <id> --schema tdd`
- **THEN** the system uses the specified schema for artifact graph
#### Scenario: Unknown schema
- **WHEN** user specifies an unknown schema
- **THEN** the system displays an error listing available schemas
### Requirement: Output Formatting
The system SHALL provide consistent output formatting.
#### Scenario: Color output
- **WHEN** terminal supports colors
- **THEN** status indicators use colors: green (done), yellow (ready), red (blocked)
#### Scenario: No color output
- **WHEN** `--no-color` flag is used or NO_COLOR environment variable is set
- **THEN** output uses text-only indicators without ANSI colors
#### Scenario: Progress indication
- **WHEN** loading change state takes time
- **THEN** the system displays a spinner during loading
### Requirement: Experimental Isolation
The system SHALL implement artifact workflow commands in isolation for easy removal.
#### Scenario: Single file implementation
- **WHEN** artifact workflow feature is implemented
- **THEN** all commands are in `src/commands/artifact-workflow.ts`
#### Scenario: Help text marking
- **WHEN** user runs `--help` on any artifact workflow command
- **THEN** help text indicates the command is experimental
### Requirement: Schema Apply Block
The system SHALL support an `apply` block in schema definitions that controls when and how implementation begins.
#### Scenario: Schema with apply block
- **WHEN** a schema defines an `apply` block
- **THEN** the system uses `apply.requires` to determine which artifacts must exist before apply
- **AND** uses `apply.tracks` to identify the file for progress tracking (or null if none)
- **AND** uses `apply.instruction` for guidance shown to the agent
#### Scenario: Schema without apply block
- **WHEN** a schema has no `apply` block
- **THEN** the system requires all artifacts to exist before apply is available
- **AND** uses default instruction: "All artifacts complete. Proceed with implementation."
### Requirement: Apply Instructions Command
The system SHALL generate schema-aware apply instructions via `openspec instructions apply`.
#### Scenario: Generate apply instructions
- **WHEN** user runs `openspec instructions apply --change <id>`
- **AND** all required artifacts (per schema's `apply.requires`) exist
- **THEN** the system outputs:
- Context files from all existing artifacts
- Schema-specific instruction text
- Progress tracking file path (if `apply.tracks` is set)
#### Scenario: Apply blocked by missing artifacts
- **WHEN** user runs `openspec instructions apply --change <id>`
- **AND** required artifacts are missing
- **THEN** the system indicates apply is blocked
- **AND** lists which artifacts must be created first
#### Scenario: Apply instructions JSON output
- **WHEN** user runs `openspec instructions apply --change <id> --json`
- **THEN** the system outputs JSON with:
- `contextFiles`: array of paths to existing artifacts
- `instruction`: the apply instruction text
- `tracks`: path to progress file or null
- `applyRequires`: list of required artifact IDs
## REMOVED Requirements
### Requirement: Next Command
**Reason**: Redundant with Status Command - `openspec status` already shows which artifacts are ready (status: "ready") vs blocked vs done.
**Migration**: Use `openspec status --change <id> --json` and filter artifacts with `status: "ready"` to find artifacts that can be created next.

- **WHEN** agent executes `/opsx:sync` without specifying a change
- **THEN** the agent prompts user to select from available changes
- **AND** shows changes that have delta specs
### Requirement: Delta Reconciliation Logic
The agent SHALL reconcile main specs with delta specs using the delta operation headers.
#### Scenario: ADDED requirements
- **WHEN** delta contains `## ADDED Requirements` with a requirement
- **AND** the requirement does not exist in main spec
- **THEN** add the requirement to main spec
#### Scenario: ADDED requirement already exists
- **WHEN** delta contains `## ADDED Requirements` with a requirement
- **AND** a requirement with the same name already exists in main spec
- **THEN** update the existing requirement to match the delta version
#### Scenario: MODIFIED requirements
- **WHEN** delta contains `## MODIFIED Requirements` with a requirement
- **AND** the requirement exists in main spec
- **THEN** replace the requirement in main spec with the delta version
#### Scenario: REMOVED requirements
- **WHEN** delta contains `## REMOVED Requirements` with a requirement name
- **AND** the requirement exists in main spec
- **THEN** remove the requirement from main spec
#### Scenario: RENAMED requirements
- **WHEN** delta contains `## RENAMED Requirements` with FROM:/TO: format
- **AND** the FROM requirement exists in main spec
- **THEN** rename the requirement to the TO name
#### Scenario: New capability spec
- **WHEN** delta spec exists for a capability not in main specs
- **THEN** create new main spec file at `openspec/specs/<capability>/spec.md`
### Requirement: Skill Output
The skill SHALL provide clear feedback on what was applied.
#### Scenario: Show applied changes
- **WHEN** reconciliation completes successfully
- **THEN** display summary of changes per capability:
- Number of requirements added
- Number of requirements modified
- Number of requirements removed
- Number of requirements renamed
#### Scenario: No changes needed
- **WHEN** main specs already match delta specs
- **THEN** display "Specs already in sync - no changes needed"

description: Initial proposal document outlining the change
template: proposal.md
instruction: |
Create the proposal document that establishes WHY this change is needed.
Sections:
- **Why**: 1-2 sentences on the problem or opportunity. What problem does this solve? Why now?
- **What Changes**: Bullet list of changes. Be specific about new capabilities, modifications, or removals. Mark breaking changes with **BREAKING**.
- **Capabilities**: Identify which specs will be created or modified:
- **New Capabilities**: List capabilities being introduced. Each becomes a new `specs/<name>/spec.md`. Use kebab-case names (e.g., `user-auth`, `data-export`).
- **Modified Capabilities**: List existing capabilities whose REQUIREMENTS are changing. Only include if spec-level behavior changes (not just implementation details). Each needs a delta spec file. Check `openspec/specs/` for existing spec names. Leave empty if no requirement changes.
- **Impact**: Affected code, APIs, dependencies, or systems.
IMPORTANT: The Capabilities section is critical. It creates the contract between
proposal and specs phases. Research existing specs before filling this in.
Each capability listed here will need a corresponding spec file.
Keep it concise (1-2 pages). Focus on the "why" not the "how" -
implementation details belong in design.md.
This is the foundation - specs, design, and tasks all build on this.
requires: []
- id: specs

description: Detailed specifications for the change
template: spec.md
instruction: |
Create specification files that define WHAT the system should do.
Create one spec file per capability/feature area in specs/<name>/spec.md.
Delta operations (use ## headers):
- **ADDED Requirements**: New capabilities
- **MODIFIED Requirements**: Changed behavior - MUST include full updated content
- **REMOVED Requirements**: Deprecated features - MUST include **Reason** and **Migration**
- **RENAMED Requirements**: Name changes only - use FROM:/TO: format
Format requirements:
- Each requirement: `### Requirement: <name>` followed by description
- Use SHALL/MUST for normative requirements (avoid should/may)
- Each scenario: `#### Scenario: <name>` with WHEN/THEN format
- **CRITICAL**: Scenarios MUST use exactly 4 hashtags (`####`). Using 3 hashtags or bullets will fail silently.
- Every requirement MUST have at least one scenario.
MODIFIED requirements workflow:
1. Locate the existing requirement in openspec/specs/<capability>/spec.md
2. Copy the ENTIRE requirement block (from `### Requirement:` through all scenarios)
3. Paste under `## MODIFIED Requirements` and edit to reflect new behavior
4. Ensure header text matches exactly (whitespace-insensitive)
Common pitfall: Using MODIFIED with partial content loses detail at archive time.
If adding new concerns without changing existing behavior, use ADDED instead.
Example:
```
## ADDED Requirements
### Requirement: User can export data
The system SHALL allow users to export their data in CSV format.
#### Scenario: Successful export
- **WHEN** user clicks "Export" button
- **THEN** system downloads a CSV file with all user data
## REMOVED Requirements
### Requirement: Legacy export
**Reason**: Replaced by new export system
**Migration**: Use new export endpoint at /api/v2/export
```
Specs should be testable - each scenario is a potential test case.

instruction: |
Create the design document that explains HOW to implement the change.
When to include design.md (create only if any apply):
- Cross-cutting change (multiple services/modules) or new architectural pattern
- New external dependency or significant data model changes
- Security, performance, or migration complexity
- Ambiguity that benefits from technical decisions before coding
Sections:
- **Context**: Background, current state, constraints, stakeholders
- **Goals / Non-Goals**: What this design achieves and explicitly excludes
- **Decisions**: Key technical choices with rationale (why X over Y?). Include alternatives considered for each decision.
- **Risks / Trade-offs**: Known limitations, things that could go wrong. Format: [Risk] → Mitigation
- **Migration Plan**: Steps to deploy, rollback strategy (if applicable)
- **Open Questions**: Outstanding decisions or unknowns to resolve
Focus on architecture and approach, not line-by-line implementation.
Reference the proposal for motivation and specs for requirements.
Good design docs explain the "why" behind technical decisions.

Guidelines:
- Group related tasks under ## numbered headings
- Each task is a checkbox: - [ ] X.Y Task description
- Tasks should be small enough to complete in one session
- Order tasks by dependency (what must be done first?)
Example:
```
## 1. Setup
- [ ] 1.1 Create new module structure
- [ ] 1.2 Add dependencies to package.json
## 2. Core Implementation
- [ ] 2.1 Implement data export function
- [ ] 2.2 Add CSV formatting utilities
```
Reference specs for what needs to be built, design for how to build it.
Each task should be verifiable - you know when it's done.

description: Feature specification defining requirements
template: spec.md
instruction: |
Create the feature specification that defines WHAT to build.
Sections:
- **Feature**: Name and high-level description of the feature's purpose and user value
- **Requirements**: List of specific requirements. Use SHALL/MUST for normative language.
- **Acceptance Criteria**: Testable criteria in WHEN/THEN format
Format requirements:
- Each requirement should be specific and testable
- Use `#### Scenario: <name>` with WHEN/THEN format for acceptance criteria
- Define edge cases and error scenarios explicitly
- Every requirement MUST have at least one scenario
Example:
```
## Feature: User Authentication
Users can securely log into the application.
## Requirements
### Requirement: Password validation
The system SHALL validate passwords meet minimum security requirements.
#### Scenario: Valid password accepted
- **WHEN** password has 8+ chars, uppercase, lowercase, and number
- **THEN** password is accepted
#### Scenario: Weak password rejected
- **WHEN** password is less than 8 characters
- **THEN** system displays "Password too short" error
```
This spec drives test creation - each scenario becomes a test case.
requires: []
- id: tests
generates: "tests/*.test.ts"
description: Test files written before implementation
template: test.md
instruction: |
Write tests BEFORE implementation (TDD red phase).
File naming:
- Create test files as `tests/<feature>.test.ts`
- One test file per feature/capability
- Use descriptive names matching the spec
Test structure:
- Use Given/When/Then format matching spec scenarios
- Group related tests with `describe()` blocks
- Each scenario from spec becomes at least one `it()` test
Coverage requirements:
- Cover each requirement from the spec
- Include happy path (success cases)
- Include edge cases (boundary conditions)
- Include error scenarios (invalid input, failures)
- Tests should fail initially (no implementation yet)
Example:
```typescript
describe('Password validation', () => {
it('accepts valid password with all requirements', () => {
// GIVEN a password meeting all requirements
const password = 'SecurePass1';
// WHEN validating
const result = validatePassword(password);
// THEN it should be accepted
expect(result.valid).toBe(true);
});
it('rejects password shorter than 8 characters', () => {
// GIVEN a short password
const password = 'Short1';
// WHEN validating
const result = validatePassword(password);
// THEN it should be rejected with message
expect(result.valid).toBe(false);
expect(result.error).toBe('Password too short');
});
});
```
Follow the spec requirements exactly - tests verify the spec.
requires:

description: Implementation code to pass the tests
template: implementation.md
instruction: |
Implement the feature to make tests pass (TDD green phase).
TDD workflow:
1. Run tests - confirm they fail (red)
2. Write minimal code to pass ONE test
3. Run tests - confirm that test passes (green)
4. Refactor if needed while keeping tests green
5. Repeat for next failing test
Implementation guidelines:
- Write minimal code to pass each test - no more, no less
- Run tests frequently to verify progress
- Keep functions small and focused
- Use clear, descriptive names
Code organization:
- Create source files in `src/<feature>.ts`
- Export public API clearly
- Keep implementation details private
- Add JSDoc comments for public functions
Example structure:
```typescript
/**
* Validates a password meets security requirements.
* @param password - The password to validate
* @returns Validation result with valid flag and optional error
*/
export function validatePassword(password: string): ValidationResult {
if (password.length < 8) {
return { valid: false, error: 'Password too short' };
}
// ... additional checks
return { valid: true };
}
```
Don't over-engineer - implement only what tests require.
requires:
- tests
- id: docs
generates: "docs/*.md"
description: Documentation for the implemented feature
template: docs.md
instruction: |
Document the implemented feature.
Sections:
- **Overview**: What the feature does and why it exists (1-2 paragraphs)
- **Getting Started**: Quick start guide to use the feature immediately
- **Examples**: Code examples showing common use cases
- **Reference**: Detailed API documentation, configuration options
Guidelines:
- Write for the user, not the developer
- Start with the most common use case
- Include copy-pasteable code examples
- Document all configuration options with defaults
- Note any limitations, edge cases, or gotchas
- Link to related features or specs
Example structure:
```markdown
## Overview
Password validation ensures user passwords meet security requirements
before account creation or password changes.
## Getting Started
Import and use the validation function:
```typescript
import { validatePassword } from './password';
const result = validatePassword('MySecurePass1');
if (!result.valid) {
console.error(result.error);
}
```
## Examples
### Basic validation
...
### Custom error handling
...
## Reference
### validatePassword(password)
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|-----------|------|-------------|
| password | string | The password to validate |
**Returns**: `{ valid: boolean, error?: string }`
```
