description	Standalone Codex workflow for OpenSpec proposal, design, specs, and tasks.

OpenSpec Feature Workflow

Use this standalone skill when the feature needs OpenSpec artifacts before implementation.

This is an explicit opt-in workflow. Do not use it by default. Only use it when the user explicitly asks for it, names $openspec-feature-workflow, or a repository policy explicitly requires it.

Workflow

1. Derive or confirm a kebab-case change name.
2. Create the change under openspec/changes/<change-name>/.
3. Run openspec status --change "<change-name>" --json.
4. Before writing each artifact, run openspec instructions <artifact> --change "<change-name>" --json.
5. Complete artifacts in dependency order:
   • proposal.md
   • design.md
   • specs/.../spec.md
   • tasks.md
6. Re-run openspec status --change "<change-name>" --json until all required artifacts are ready.

Guardrails

• Do not skip dependency order from OpenSpec status.
• Do not copy instruction metadata into artifact files.
• Do not start coding until required artifacts are ready.
