Instructions for AI coding assistants using OpenSpec for spec-driven development.
## TL;DR Quick Checklist
- Search existing work: `openspec spec list --long`, `openspec list` (use `rg` only for full-text search)
- Decide scope: new capability vs modify existing capability
- Pick a unique `change-id`: kebab-case, verb-led (`add-`, `update-`, `remove-`, `refactor-`)
- Scaffold: `proposal.md`, `tasks.md`, `design.md` (only if needed), and delta specs per affected capability
- Write deltas: use `## ADDED|MODIFIED|REMOVED|RENAMED Requirements`; include at least one `#### Scenario:` per requirement
- Validate: `openspec validate [change-id] --strict` and fix issues
- Request approval: Do not start implementation until proposal is approved

- Always check if capability already exists
- Prefer modifying existing specs over creating duplicates
- Use `openspec show [spec]` to review current state
- If request is ambiguous, ask 1–2 clarifying questions before scaffolding
### Search Guidance
- Enumerate specs: `openspec spec list --long` (or `--json` for scripts)
- Enumerate changes: `openspec list` (or `openspec change list --json` - deprecated but available)
- Show details:
- Spec: `openspec show <spec-id> --type spec` (use `--json` for filters)

# Change: Add View Dashboard Command
## Why
Users need a quick, at-a-glance overview of their OpenSpec project status without running multiple commands. Currently, users must run `openspec list --changes` and `openspec list --specs` separately to understand the project state. A unified dashboard view would improve developer experience and provide immediate insight into project progress.
## What Changes
### Added `openspec view` Command
The new command provides an interactive dashboard displaying:
- Summary metrics (total specs, requirements, changes, task progress)
- Active changes with visual progress bars
- Completed changes
- Specifications with requirement counts
### Specifications Affected
- **cli-view** (NEW): Complete specification for the view dashboard command
## Implementation Details
### File Structure
- Created `/src/core/view.ts` implementing the `ViewCommand` class
- Registered command in `/src/cli/index.ts`
- Reuses existing utilities from `task-progress.ts` and `MarkdownParser`
### Visual Design
- Uses Unicode box drawing characters for borders
- Color coding: cyan for specs, yellow for active, green for completed
- Progress bars using filled (█) and empty (░) blocks
- Clean alignment with proper padding
### Technical Approach
- Async data fetching from changes and specs directories
- Parallel processing of specs and changes
- Error handling for missing or invalid data
- Maintains consistency with existing list command output

export const readmeTemplate = `# OpenSpec Instructions
This document provides instructions for AI coding assistants on how to use OpenSpec conventions for spec-driven development. Follow these rules precisely when working on OpenSpec-enabled projects.
Instructions for AI coding assistants using OpenSpec for spec-driven development.
## Core Principle
## TL;DR Quick Checklist
OpenSpec is an AI-native system for change-driven development where:
- **Specs** (\`specs/\`) reflect what IS currently built and deployed
- **Changes** (\`changes/\`) contain proposals for what SHOULD be changed
- **AI drives the process** - You generate proposals, humans review and approve
- **Specs are living documentation** - Always kept in sync with deployed code
- Search existing work: \`openspec spec list --long\`, \`openspec list\` (use \`rg\` only for full-text search)
- Decide scope: new capability vs modify existing capability
- Pick a unique \`change-id\`: kebab-case, verb-led (\`add-\`, \`update-\`, \`remove-\`, \`refactor-\`)
- Scaffold: \`proposal.md\`, \`tasks.md\`, \`design.md\` (only if needed), and delta specs per affected capability
- Write deltas: use \`## ADDED|MODIFIED|REMOVED|RENAMED Requirements\`; include at least one \`#### Scenario:\` per requirement
- Validate: \`openspec validate [change-id] --strict\` and fix issues
- Request approval: Do not start implementation until proposal is approved
## Start Simple
## Three-Stage Workflow
**Default to minimal implementations:**
- New features should be <100 lines of code initially
- Use the simplest solution that works
- Avoid premature optimization (no caching, parallelization, or complex patterns without proven need)
- Choose boring technology over cutting-edge solutions
### Stage 1: Creating Changes
Create proposal when you need to:
- Add features or functionality
- Make breaking changes (API, schema)
- Change architecture or patterns
- Optimize performance (changes behavior)
- Update security patterns
**Complexity triggers** - Only add complexity when you have:
- **Performance data** showing current solution is too slow
- **Scale requirements** with specific numbers (>1000 users, >100MB data)
- **Multiple use cases** requiring the same abstraction
- **Regulatory compliance** mandating specific patterns
- **Security threats** that simple solutions cannot address
Triggers (examples):
- "Help me create a change proposal"
- "Help me plan a change"
- "Help me create a proposal"
- "I want to create a spec proposal"
- "I want to create a spec"
When triggered, document the specific justification in your change proposal.
Loose matching guidance:
- Contains one of: \`proposal\`, \`change\`, \`spec\`
- With one of: \`create\`, \`plan\`, \`make\`, \`start\`, \`help\`
Skip proposal for:
- Bug fixes (restore intended behavior)
- Typos, formatting, comments
- Dependency updates (non-breaking)
- Configuration changes
- Tests for existing behavior
### Stage 2: Implementing Changes
1. **Read proposal.md** - Understand what's being built
2. **Read design.md** (if exists) - Review technical decisions
3. **Read tasks.md** - Get implementation checklist
4. **Implement tasks sequentially** - Complete in order
5. **Mark complete immediately** - Update \`- [x]\` after each task
6. **Validate strictly** - Run \`openspec validate [change] --strict\` and address issues
7. **Approval gate** - Do not start implementation until the proposal is reviewed and approved
### Stage 3: Archiving Changes
After deployment, create separate PR to:
- Move \`changes/[name]/\` → \`changes/archive/YYYY-MM-DD-[name]/\`
- Update \`specs/\` if capabilities changed
- Use \`openspec archive [change] --skip-specs\` for tooling-only changes
## Before Any Task
**Context Checklist:**
- [ ] Read relevant specs in \`specs/[capability]/spec.md\`
- [ ] Check pending changes in \`changes/\` for conflicts
- [ ] Read \`openspec/project.md\` for conventions
- [ ] Run \`openspec list\` to see active changes
- [ ] Run \`openspec list --specs\` to see existing capabilities
**Before Creating Specs:**
- Always check if capability already exists
- Prefer modifying existing specs over creating duplicates
- Use \`openspec show [spec]\` to review current state
- If request is ambiguous, ask 1–2 clarifying questions before scaffolding
### Search Guidance
- Enumerate specs: \`openspec spec list --long\` (or \`--json\` for scripts)
- Enumerate changes: \`openspec list\` (or \`openspec change list --json\` - deprecated but available)
- Show details:
- Spec: \`openspec show <spec-id> --type spec\` (use \`--json\` for filters)
- Change: \`openspec show <change-id> --json --deltas-only\`
- Full-text search (use ripgrep): \`rg -n "Requirement:|Scenario:" openspec/specs\`
## Quick Start
### CLI Commands
\`\`\`bash
# Essential commands
openspec list # List active changes
openspec list --specs # List specifications
openspec show [item] # Display change or spec
openspec diff [change] # Show spec differences
openspec validate [item] # Validate changes or specs
openspec archive [change] # Archive after deployment
# Project management
openspec init [path] # Initialize OpenSpec
openspec update [path] # Update instruction files
# Interactive mode
openspec show # Prompts for selection
openspec validate # Bulk validation mode
# Debugging
openspec show [change] --json --deltas-only
openspec validate [change] --strict
\`\`\`
### Command Flags
- \`--json\` - Machine-readable output
- \`--type change|spec\` - Disambiguate items
- \`--strict\` - Comprehensive validation
- \`--no-interactive\` - Disable prompts
- \`--skip-specs\` - Archive without spec updates

\`\`\`
### Capability Organization
## Creating Change Proposals
**Use capabilities, not features** - Each directory under \`specs/\` represents a single, focused responsibility:
- **Verb-noun naming**: \`user-auth\`, \`payment-capture\`, \`order-checkout\`
- **10-minute rule**: Each capability should be understandable in <10 minutes
- **Single purpose**: If it needs "AND" to describe it, split it
### Decision Tree
Examples:
\`\`\`
✅ GOOD: user-auth, user-sessions, payment-capture, payment-refunds
❌ BAD: users, payments, core, misc
New request?
├─ Bug fix restoring spec behavior? → Fix directly
├─ Typo/format/comment? → Fix directly
├─ New feature/capability? → Create proposal
├─ Breaking change? → Create proposal
├─ Architecture change? → Create proposal
└─ Unclear? → Create proposal (safer)
\`\`\`
## Key Behavioral Rules
### Proposal Structure
### 1. Always Start by Reading
1. **Create directory:** \`changes/[change-id]/\` (kebab-case, verb-led, unique)
Before any task:
1. **Read relevant specs** in \`specs/[capability]/spec.md\` to understand current state
2. **Check pending changes** in \`changes/\` directory for potential conflicts
3. **Read project.md** for project-specific conventions
2. **Write proposal.md:**
\`\`\`markdown
## Why
[1-2 sentences on problem/opportunity]
### 2. When to Create Change Proposals
## What Changes
- [Bullet list of changes]
- [Mark breaking changes with **BREAKING**]
**ALWAYS create a change proposal for:**
- New features or functionality
- Breaking changes (API changes, schema updates)
- Architecture changes or new patterns
- Performance optimizations that change behavior
- Security updates affecting auth/access patterns
- Any change requiring multiple steps or affecting multiple systems
**SKIP proposals for:**
- Bug fixes that restore intended behavior
- Typos, formatting, or comment updates
- Dependency updates (unless breaking)
- Configuration or environment variable changes
- Adding tests for existing behavior
- Documentation fixes
**Complexity assessment:**
- If your solution requires >100 lines of new code, justify the complexity
- If adding dependencies, frameworks, or architectural patterns, document why simpler alternatives won't work
- Default to single-file implementations until proven insufficient
### 3. Delta-Based Change Format
Changes use a delta format with clear sections:
## Impact
- Affected specs: [list capabilities]
- Affected code: [key files/systems]
\`\`\`
3. **Create spec deltas:** \`specs/[capability]/spec.md\`
\`\`\`markdown
## ADDED Requirements
### Requirement: New Feature
[Complete requirement content in structured format]
The system SHALL provide...
## MODIFIED Requirements
#### Scenario: Success case
- **WHEN** user performs action
- **THEN** expected result
## MODIFIED Requirements
### Requirement: Existing Feature
[Complete modified requirement (header must match current spec)]
[Complete modified requirement]
## REMOVED Requirements
### Requirement: Old Feature
**Reason for removal**: [Why removing]
**Migration path**: [How to handle existing usage]
**Reason**: [Why removing]
**Migration**: [How to handle]
\`\`\`
If multiple capabilities are affected, create multiple delta files under \`changes/[change-id]/specs/<capability>/spec.md\`—one per capability.
## RENAMED Requirements
- FROM: \`### Requirement: Old Name\`
- TO: \`### Requirement: New Name\`
4. **Create tasks.md:**
\`\`\`markdown
## 1. Implementation
- [ ] 1.1 Create database schema
- [ ] 1.2 Implement API endpoint
- [ ] 1.3 Add frontend component
- [ ] 1.4 Write tests
\`\`\`
Key rules:
- Headers are matched using \`normalize(header) = trim(header)\`
- Include complete requirements (not diffs)
- Use standard symbols in CLI output: + (added), ~ (modified), - (removed), → (renamed)
5. **Create design.md when needed:**
Create \`design.md\` if any of the following apply; otherwise omit it:
- Cross-cutting change (multiple services/modules) or a new architectural pattern
- New external dependency or significant data model changes
- Security, performance, or migration complexity
- Ambiguity that benefits from technical decisions before coding
### 4. Creating a Change Proposal
Minimal \`design.md\` skeleton:
\`\`\`markdown
## Context
[Background, constraints, stakeholders]
When a user requests a significant change:
## Goals / Non-Goals
- Goals: [...]
- Non-Goals: [...]
## Decisions
- Decision: [What and why]
- Alternatives considered: [Options + rationale]
## Risks / Trade-offs
- [Risk] → Mitigation
## Migration Plan
[Steps, rollback]
## Open Questions
- [...]
\`\`\`
## Spec File Format
### Critical: Scenario Formatting
**CORRECT** (use #### headers):
\`\`\`markdown
#### Scenario: User login success
- **WHEN** valid credentials provided
- **THEN** return JWT token
\`\`\`
**WRONG** (don't use bullets or bold):
\`\`\`markdown
- **Scenario: User login** ❌
**Scenario**: User login ❌
### Scenario: User login ❌
\`\`\`
Every requirement MUST have at least one scenario.
### Requirement Wording
- Use SHALL/MUST for normative requirements (avoid should/may unless intentionally non-normative)
### Delta Operations
- \`## ADDED Requirements\` - New capabilities
- \`## MODIFIED Requirements\` - Changed behavior
- \`## REMOVED Requirements\` - Deprecated features
- \`## RENAMED Requirements\` - Name changes
Headers matched with \`trim(header)\` - whitespace ignored.
Example for RENAMED:
\`\`\`markdown
## RENAMED Requirements
- FROM: \`### Requirement: Login\`
- TO: \`### Requirement: User Authentication\`
\`\`\`
## Troubleshooting
### Common Errors
**"Change must have at least one delta"**
- Check \`changes/[name]/specs/\` exists with .md files
- Verify files have operation prefixes (## ADDED Requirements)
**"Requirement must have at least one scenario"**
- Check scenarios use \`#### Scenario:\` format (4 hashtags)
- Don't use bullet points or bold for scenario headers
**Silent scenario parsing failures**
- Exact format required: \`#### Scenario: Name\`
- Debug with: \`openspec show [change] --json --deltas-only\`
### Validation Tips
\`\`\`bash
# 1. Create the change directory
openspec/changes/[descriptive-name]/
# Always use strict mode for comprehensive checks
openspec validate [change] --strict
# 2. Generate proposal.md with all context
## Why
[1-2 sentences on the problem/opportunity]
# Debug delta parsing
openspec show [change] --json | jq '.deltas'
## What Changes
[Bullet list of changes, including breaking changes]
## Impact
- Affected specs: [list capabilities that will change]
- Affected code: [list key files/systems]
# 3. Create delta specs for ALL affected capabilities
# - Store only the changes (not complete future state)
# - Use sections: ## ADDED, ## MODIFIED, ## REMOVED, ## RENAMED
# - Include complete requirements in their final form
# Example spec.md content:
# ## ADDED Requirements
# ### Requirement: Password Reset
# Users SHALL be able to reset passwords via email...
#
# ## MODIFIED Requirements
# ### Requirement: User Authentication
# [Complete modified requirement with new password reset hook]
specs/
└── [capability]/
└── spec.md # Contains delta sections
# 4. Create tasks.md with implementation steps
## 1. [Task Group]
- [ ] 1.1 [Specific task]
- [ ] 1.2 [Specific task]
# 5. For complex changes, add design.md
[Technical decisions and trade-offs]
# Check specific requirement
openspec show [spec] --json -r 1
\`\`\`
### 5. The Change Lifecycle
## Happy Path Script
1. **Propose** → Create change directory with delta-based documentation
2. **Review** → User reviews and approves the proposal
3. **Implement** → Follow the approved tasks.md (can be multiple PRs)
4. **Deploy** → User confirms deployment
5. **Update Specs** → Apply deltas to sync specs/ with new reality (IF the change affects system capabilities)
6. **Archive** → Move to \`changes/archive/YYYY-MM-DD-[name]/\`
\`\`\`bash
# 1) Explore current state
openspec spec list --long
openspec list
# Optional full-text search:
# rg -n "Requirement:|Scenario:" openspec/specs
# rg -n "^#|Requirement:" openspec/changes
### 6. Implementing Changes
# 2) Choose change id and scaffold
CHANGE=add-two-factor-auth
mkdir -p openspec/changes/$CHANGE/{specs/auth}
printf "## Why\\n...\\n\\n## What Changes\\n- ...\\n\\n## Impact\\n- ...\\n" > openspec/changes/$CHANGE/proposal.md
printf "## 1. Implementation\\n- [ ] 1.1 ...\\n" > openspec/changes/$CHANGE/tasks.md
When implementing an approved change:
1. Follow the tasks.md checklist exactly
2. **Mark completed tasks** in tasks.md as you finish them (e.g., \`- [x] 1.1 Task completed\`)
3. Ensure code matches the proposed behavior
4. Update any affected tests
5. **Keep change in \`changes/\` directory** - do NOT archive in implementation PR
# 3) Add deltas (example)
cat > openspec/changes/$CHANGE/specs/auth/spec.md << 'EOF'
## ADDED Requirements
### Requirement: Two-Factor Authentication
Users MUST provide a second factor during login.
**Multiple Implementation PRs:**
- Changes can be implemented across multiple PRs
- Each PR should update tasks.md to mark what was completed
- Different developers can work on different task groups
- Example: PR #1 completes tasks 1.1-1.3, PR #2 completes tasks 2.1-2.4
#### Scenario: OTP required
- **WHEN** valid credentials are provided
- **THEN** an OTP challenge is required
EOF
### 7. Updating Specs and Archiving After Deployment
# 4) Validate
openspec validate $CHANGE --strict
\`\`\`
**Create a separate PR after deployment** that:
1. Moves change to \`changes/archive/YYYY-MM-DD-[name]/\`
2. Updates relevant files in \`specs/\` to reflect new reality (if needed)
3. If design.md exists, incorporates proven patterns into \`specs/[capability]/design.md\`
## Multi-Capability Example
This ensures changes are only archived when truly complete and deployed.
\`\`\`

### 8. Types of Changes That Don't Require Specs
Some changes only affect development infrastructure and don't need specs:
- Initial project setup (package.json, tsconfig.json, etc.)
- Development tooling changes (linters, formatters, build tools)
- CI/CD configuration
- Development dependencies
For these changes:
1. Implement → Deploy → Mark tasks complete → Archive
2. Skip the "Update Specs" step entirely
### What Deserves a Spec?
Ask yourself:
- Is this a system capability that users or other systems interact with?
- Does it have ongoing behavior that needs documentation?
- Would a new developer need to understand this to work with the system?
If NO to all → No spec needed (likely just tooling/infrastructure)
## Understanding Specs vs Code
### Specs Document WHAT and WHY
auth/spec.md
\`\`\`markdown
# Authentication Spec
Users SHALL authenticate with email and password.
WHEN credentials are valid THEN issue JWT token.
WHEN credentials are invalid THEN return generic error.
WHY: Prevent user enumeration attacks.
## ADDED Requirements
### Requirement: Two-Factor Authentication
...
\`\`\`
### Code Documents HOW
\`\`\`javascript
// Implementation details
const user = await db.users.findOne({ email });
const valid = await bcrypt.compare(password, user.hashedPassword);
notifications/spec.md
\`\`\`markdown
## ADDED Requirements
### Requirement: OTP Email Notification
...
\`\`\`
**Key Distinction**: Specs capture intent, constraints, and decisions that aren't obvious from code.
## Best Practices
## Common Scenarios
### Simplicity First
- Default to <100 lines of new code
- Single-file implementations until proven insufficient
- Avoid frameworks without clear justification
- Choose boring, proven patterns
### New Feature Request
\`\`\`
User: "Add password reset functionality"
### Complexity Triggers
Only add complexity with:
- Performance data showing current solution too slow
- Concrete scale requirements (>1000 users, >100MB data)
- Multiple proven use cases requiring abstraction
You should:
1. Read specs/user-auth/spec.md
2. Check changes/ for pending auth changes
3. Create changes/add-password-reset/ with:
- proposal.md describing the change
- specs/user-auth/spec.md with:
## ADDED Requirements
### Requirement: Password Reset
[Complete requirement for password reset]
## MODIFIED Requirements
### Requirement: User Authentication
[Updated to integrate with password reset]
4. Wait for approval before implementing
### Clear References
- Use \`file.ts:42\` format for code locations
- Reference specs as \`specs/auth/spec.md\`
- Link related changes and PRs
### Capability Naming
- Use verb-noun: \`user-auth\`, \`payment-capture\`
- Single purpose per capability
- 10-minute understandability rule
- Split if description needs "AND"
### Change ID Naming
- Use kebab-case, short and descriptive: \`add-two-factor-auth\`
- Prefer verb-led prefixes: \`add-\`, \`update-\`, \`remove-\`, \`refactor-\`
- Ensure uniqueness; if taken, append \`-2\`, \`-3\`, etc.
## Tool Selection Guide
| Task | Tool | Why |
|------|------|-----|
| Find files by pattern | Glob | Fast pattern matching |
| Search code content | Grep | Optimized regex search |
| Read specific files | Read | Direct file access |
| Explore unknown scope | Task | Multi-step investigation |
## Error Recovery
### Change Conflicts
1. Run \`openspec list\` to see active changes
2. Check for overlapping specs
3. Coordinate with change owners
4. Consider combining proposals
### Validation Failures
1. Run with \`--strict\` flag
2. Check JSON output for details
3. Verify spec file format
4. Ensure scenarios properly formatted
### Missing Context
1. Read project.md first
2. Check related specs
3. Review recent archives
4. Ask for clarification
## Quick Reference
### Stage Indicators
- \`changes/\` - Proposed, not yet built
- \`specs/\` - Built and deployed
- \`archive/\` - Completed changes
### File Purposes
- \`proposal.md\` - Why and what
- \`tasks.md\` - Implementation steps
- \`design.md\` - Technical decisions
- \`spec.md\` - Requirements and behavior
### CLI Essentials
\`\`\`bash
openspec list # What's in progress?
openspec show [item] # View details
openspec diff [change] # What's changing?
openspec validate --strict # Is it correct?
openspec archive [change] # Mark complete
\`\`\`
### Bug Fix
\`\`\`
User: "Getting null pointer error when bio is empty"
You should:
1. Check if spec says bios are optional
2. If yes → Fix directly (it's a bug)
3. If no → Create change proposal (it's a behavior change)
\`\`\`
### Infrastructure Setup
\`\`\`
User: "Initialize TypeScript project"
You should:
1. Create change proposal for TypeScript setup
2. Implement configuration files (PR #1)
3. Mark tasks complete in tasks.md
4. After deployment, create separate PR to archive
(no specs update needed - this is tooling, not a capability)
\`\`\`
## Summary Workflow
1. **Receive request** → Determine if it needs a change proposal
2. **Read current state** → Check specs and pending changes
3. **Create proposal** → Generate complete change documentation
4. **Get approval** → User reviews the proposal
5. **Implement** → Follow approved tasks, mark completed items in tasks.md
6. **Deploy** → User deploys the implementation
7. **Archive PR** → Create separate PR to:
- Move change to archive
- Update specs if needed
- Mark change as complete
## PR Workflow Examples
### Single Developer, Simple Change
\`\`\`
PR #1: Implementation
- Implement all tasks
- Update tasks.md marking items complete
- Get merged and deployed
PR #2: Archive (after deployment)
- Move changes/feature-x/ → changes/archive/2025-01-15-feature-x/
- Update specs if needed
\`\`\`
### Multiple Developers, Complex Change
\`\`\`
PR #1: Alice implements auth components
- Complete tasks 1.1, 1.2, 1.3
- Update tasks.md marking these complete
PR #2: Bob implements UI components
- Complete tasks 2.1, 2.2
- Update tasks.md marking these complete
PR #3: Alice fixes integration issues
- Complete remaining task 1.4
- Update tasks.md
[Deploy all changes]
PR #4: Archive
- Move to archive with deployment date
- Update specs to reflect new auth flow
\`\`\`
### Key Rules
- **Never archive in implementation PRs** - changes aren't done until deployed
- **Always update tasks.md** - shows accurate progress
- **One archive PR per change** - clear completion boundary
- **Archive PR includes spec updates** - keeps specs current
## Capability Organization Best Practices
### Naming Capabilities
- Use **verb-noun** patterns: \`user-auth\`, \`payment-capture\`, \`order-checkout\`
- Be specific: \`payment-capture\` not just \`payments\`
- Keep flat: Avoid nesting capabilities within capabilities
- Singular focus: If you need "AND" to describe it, split it
### When to Split Capabilities
Split when you have:
- Multiple unrelated API endpoints
- Different user personas or actors
- Separate deployment considerations
- Independent evolution paths
#### Capability Boundary Guidelines
- Would you import these separately? → Separate capabilities
- Different deployment cadence? → Separate capabilities
- Different teams own them? → Separate capabilities
- Shared data models are OK, shared business logic means combine
Examples:
- user-auth (login/logout) vs user-sessions (token management) → SEPARATE
- payment-capture vs payment-refunds → SEPARATE (different workflows)
- user-profile vs user-settings → COMBINE (same data model, same owner)
### Cross-Cutting Concerns
For system-wide policies (rate limiting, error handling, security), document them in:
- \`project.md\` for project-wide conventions
- Within relevant capability specs where they apply
- Or create a dedicated capability if complex enough (e.g., \`api-rate-limiting/\`)
### Examples of Well-Organized Capabilities
\`\`\`
specs/
├── user-auth/ # Login, logout, password reset
├── user-sessions/ # Token management, refresh
├── user-profile/ # Profile CRUD operations
├── payment-capture/ # Processing payments
├── payment-refunds/ # Handling refunds
└── order-checkout/ # Checkout workflow
\`\`\`
For detailed guidance, see the [Capability Organization Guide](../docs/capability-organization.md).
## Common Scenarios and Clarifications
### Decision Ambiguity: Bug vs Behavior Change
When specs are missing or ambiguous:
- If NO spec exists → Treat current code behavior as implicit spec, require proposal
- If spec is VAGUE → Require proposal to clarify spec alongside fix
- If code and spec DISAGREE → Spec is truth, code is buggy (fix without proposal)
- If unsure → Default to creating a proposal (safer option)
Example:
\`\`\`
User: "The API returns 404 for missing users but should return 400"
AI: Is this a bug (spec says 400) or behavior change (spec says 404)?
\`\`\`
### When You Don't Know the Scope
It's OK to explore first! Tell the user you need to investigate, then create an informed proposal.
### Exploration Phase (When Needed)
BEFORE creating proposal, you may need exploration when:
- User request is vague or high-level
- Multiple implementation approaches exist
- Scope is unclear without seeing code
Exploration checklist:
1. Tell user you need to explore first
2. Use Grep/Read to understand current state
3. Create initial proposal based on findings
4. Refine with user feedback
Example:
\`\`\`
User: "Add caching to improve performance"
AI: "Let me explore the codebase to understand the current architecture and identify caching opportunities."
[After exploration]
AI: "Based on my analysis, I've identified three areas where caching would help. Here's my proposal..."
\`\`\`
### When No Specs Exist
Treat current code as implicit spec. Your proposal should document current state AND proposed changes.
### When in Doubt
Default to creating a proposal. It's easier to skip an unnecessary proposal than fix an undocumented change.
### AI Workflow Adaptations
Task tracking with OpenSpec:
- Track exploration tasks separately from implementation
- Document proposal creation steps as you go
- Keep implementation tasks separate until proposal approved
Parallel operations encouraged:
- Read multiple specs simultaneously
- Check multiple pending changes at once
- Batch related searches for efficiency
Progress communication:
- "Exploring codebase to understand scope..."
- "Creating proposal based on findings..."
- "Implementing approved changes..."
### For AI Assistants
- **Bias toward simplicity** - Propose the minimal solution that works
- Use your exploration tools liberally before proposing
- Batch operations for efficiency
- Communicate your progress
- It's OK to revise proposals based on discoveries
- **Question complexity** - If your solution feels complex, simplify first
## Edge Case Handling
### Multi-Capability Changes
Create ONE proposal that:
- Lists all affected capabilities
- Shows changes per capability
- Has unified task list
- Gets approved as a whole
### Outdated Specs
If specs clearly outdated:
1. Create proposal to update specs to match reality
2. Implement new feature in separate proposal
3. OR combine both in one proposal with clear sections
### Emergency Hotfixes
For critical production issues:
1. Announce: "This is an emergency fix"
2. Implement fix immediately
3. Create retroactive proposal
4. Update specs after deployment
5. Tag with [EMERGENCY] in archive
### Pure Refactoring
No proposal needed for:
- Code formatting/style
- Internal refactoring (same API)
- Performance optimization (same behavior)
- Adding types to untyped code
Proposal REQUIRED for:
- API changes (even if compatible)
- Database schema changes
- Architecture changes
- New dependencies
### Observability Additions
No proposal needed for:
- Adding log statements
- New metrics/traces
- Debugging additions
- Error tracking
Proposal REQUIRED if:
- Changes log format/structure
- Adds new monitoring service
- Changes what's logged (privacy)
## Remember
- You are the process driver - automate documentation burden
- Specs must always reflect deployed reality
- Changes are proposed, not imposed
- Impact analysis prevents surprises
- Simplicity is the power - just markdown files, minimal solutions
- Start simple, add complexity only when justified
By following these conventions, you enable true spec-driven development where documentation stays current, changes are traceable, and evolution is intentional.
`;
Remember: Specs are truth. Changes are proposals. Keep them in sync.
