OpenSpec's lightweight spec workflow

What's this about?

OpenSpec tracks proposals, specs, design and tasks through explore/propose/apply/verify/archive stages, keeping coding-agent implementation tied to evolving requirements.

What exactly is spec-driven development?

Write a shared description of desired behaviour, then implement and verify against it. The document is a contract for discussion, not a substitute for executable tests.

What's the community saying?

  1. Users like a lighter process than heavier agent frameworks.
  2. Some question why markdown/skills need an additional CLI.
  3. Documentation mistakes reduce confidence despite useful workflow ideas.
