openspec - Spec-Driven Collaboration Framework

The openspec module provides a CLI interface for OpenSpec, a framework designed to streamline human-AI collaboration through a standardized, specification-driven development process.

When to Activate

• When the user wants to initialize a new OpenSpec-driven project structure.
• When the user needs to manage change proposals (RFCs) or project specifications.
• When the user wants to validate consistency between project specifications and proposed changes.
• When the user needs an interactive dashboard to view the project's specs and progress.
• When updating the OpenSpec instruction files to better align AI assistants.

Core Principles & Rules

• Spec-First: Follow the flow of defining specifications (spec) before proposing changes (change).
• Standardized Instructions: Use update to ensure AI assistants have the latest alignment instructions.
• Project Structure: OpenSpec relies on specific .md files to track state; use init to set up the environment.

Additional Scenarios

• Dashboard Overview: Use view for an interactive summary of specs and changes.
• Finalizing Changes: Use archive to merge completed changes back into the main specifications.
