OpenSpec Initial Skill

Run openspec init to initialize OpenSpec in a project: creates the openspec/ directory (specs, changes, config) and configures AI tool integrations (skills and slash commands). This skill assumes the OpenSpec CLI is already installed; if not, direct the user to openspec-install first.

When to Use

  • First time enabling OpenSpec in a project ("initialize OpenSpec", "set up OpenSpec here").
  • Adding AI tool integrations (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.) to an existing project.
  • Re-initializing after changing tool selections.

Prerequisites

  • OpenSpec CLI installed (see openspec-install). If openspec is not in PATH, guide the user to run openspec-install before proceeding.

Workflow

  1. Verify CLI
    • If the user reports "openspec command not found", direct them to openspec-install first.
