Details
From the project READMEOpenSpec Onboard Skill
Use /opsx:onboard for a guided, interactive tutorial through the complete OpenSpec workflow. The tutorial uses the user's actual codebase — finding real improvement opportunities, creating a real change, implementing it, and archiving it.
When to Use
- First-time OpenSpec users who want a hands-on walkthrough.
- The user says "onboard", "tutorial", "show me how OpenSpec works".
- Learning the workflow before using it on real work.
Prerequisites
- OpenSpec initialized in the project (see openspec-initial).
Workflow
-
Start onboarding
- Run
/opsx:onboard.
- Run
-
Tutorial phases
- Welcome and codebase analysis.
- Finding an improvement opportunity (small, safe changes).
- Creating a change (
/opsx:new). - Writing the proposal.
- Creating specs.
- Writing the design.
- Creating tasks.
- Implementing tasks (
/opsx:apply). - Verifying implementation.
- Archiving the change.
- Summary and next steps.
-
Interactive
- The agent explains each step as it happens.
- The user chooses which improvement to work on.
- The change created is real and can be kept or discarded.
Outputs
- A complete change cycle (from proposal to archive) using the user's actual codebase.
- The user has first-hand experience with every OPSX command.
Next Steps
- Start real work with openspec-new or openspec-explore.
Troubleshooting
- "Commands not recognized": Ensure OpenSpec is initialized (
openspec init). See openspec-initial. - Takes too long: The tutorial covers the full workflow; expect 15-30 minutes.
