schema-which-command Specification

Purpose

Define openspec schema which behavior for reporting resolved schema source, location, and fallback details.

Requirements

Requirement: Schema which shows resolution result

The CLI SHALL provide an openspec schema which <name> command that displays where a schema resolves from.

Scenario: Schema resolves from project

  • WHEN user runs openspec schema which my-workflow and schema exists in openspec/schemas/my-workflow/
  • THEN system displays source as "project"
  • AND displays full path to schema directory

Scenario: Schema resolves from user directory

  • WHEN user runs openspec schema which my-workflow and schema exists only in user data directory
  • THEN system displays source as "user"
  • AND displays full path including XDG data directory

Scenario: Schema resolves from package

  • WHEN user runs openspec schema which spec-driven and no override exists
  • THEN system displays source as "package"
  • AND displays full path to package's schemas directory

Scenario: Schema not found

  • WHEN user runs openspec schema which nonexistent
  • THEN system displays error that schema was not found
  • AND lists available schemas
  • AND exits with non-zero code

Requirement: Schema which shows shadowing information

The CLI SHALL indicate when a schema shadows another schema at a lower priority level.

Scenario: Project schema shadows package

  • WHEN user runs openspec schema which spec-driven and both project and package have spec-driven
  • THEN system displays that project schema is active
  • AND indicates it shadows the package version
  • AND shows path to shadowed package schema

Scenario: No shadowing

  • WHEN schema exists only in one location
  • THEN system does not display shadowing information

Scenario: Multiple shadows

  • WHEN project schema shadows both user and package schemas
  • THEN system lists all shadowed locations in priority order

Requirement: Schema which outputs JSON format

The CLI SHALL support --json flag for machine-readable output.

Scenario: JSON output basic

  • WHEN user runs openspec schema which spec-driven --json
  • THEN system outputs JSON with name, source, and path fields

Scenario: JSON output with shadows

  • WHEN user runs openspec schema which spec-driven --json and schema has shadows
  • THEN JSON includes shadows array with source and path for each shadowed schema

Requirement: Schema which supports list mode

The CLI SHALL support listing all schemas with their resolution sources.

Scenario: List all schemas

  • WHEN user runs openspec schema which --all
  • THEN system displays all available schemas grouped by source
  • AND indicates which schemas shadow others

Scenario: List in JSON format

  • WHEN user runs openspec schema which --all --json
  • THEN system outputs JSON array with resolution info for each schema
