openspec-new
OpenSpec New Skill
Use /opsx:new to start a new change. This creates the change folder structure under openspec/changes/<name>/ with metadata (.openspec.yaml) and prepares the first artifact for creation.
When to Use
- Starting work on a new feature, bug fix, or refactor.
- The user says "start a change", "new feature", "new OpenSpec change".
- After exploring ideas with openspec-explore and deciding what to build.
Prerequisites
- OpenSpec initialized in the project (see openspec-initial).
Workflow
- Start the change
/opsx:new <change-name>— e.g./opsx:new add-dark-mode./opsx:new <change-name> --schema <schema>— use a specific workflow schema (default:spec-driven).
