Help the user submit feedback about OpenSpec.

Goal: Guide the user through collecting, enriching, and submitting feedback while ensuring privacy through anonymization.

Process

1. Gather context from the conversation

   • Review recent conversation history for context
   • Identify what task was being performed
   • Note what worked well or poorly
   • Capture specific friction points or praise

2. Draft enriched feedback

   • Create a clear, descriptive title (single sentence, no "Feedback:" prefix needed)
   • Write a body that includes:
     • What the user was trying to do
     • What happened (good or bad)
     • Relevant context from the conversation
     • Any specific suggestions or requests

3. Anonymize sensitive information

   • Replace file paths with <path> or generic descriptions
   • Replace API keys, tokens, secrets with <redacted>
   • Replace company/organization names with <company>
   • Replace personal names with <user>
   • Replace specific URLs with <url> unless public/relevant
   • Keep technical details that help understand the issue

4. Present draft for approval

   • Show the complete draft to the user
   • Display both title and body clearly
   • Ask for explicit approval before submitting
   • Allow the user to request modifications

5. Submit on confirmation

   • Use the openspec feedback command to submit
   • Format: openspec feedback "title" --body "body content"
   • The command will automatically add metadata (version, platform, timestamp)

Example Draft

Title: Error handling in artifact workflow needs improvement

Body:
I was working on creating a new change and encountered an issue with
the artifact workflow. When I tried to continue after creating the
proposal, the system didn't clearly indicate that I needed to complete
the specs first.

Suggestion: Add clearer error messages that explain dependency chains
in the artifact workflow. Something like "Cannot create design.md
because specs are not complete (0/2 done)."

Context: Using the spec-driven schema with <path>/my-project

Anonymization Examples

Before:

Working on /Users/john/mycompany/auth-service/src/oauth.ts
Failed with API key: sk_live_abc123xyz
Working at Acme Corp

After:

Working on <path>/oauth.ts
Failed with API key: <redacted>
Working at <company>

Guardrails

• MUST show complete draft before submitting
• MUST ask for explicit approval
• MUST anonymize sensitive information
• ALLOW user to modify draft before submitting
• DO NOT submit without user confirmation
• DO include relevant technical context
• DO keep conversation-specific insights

User Confirmation Required

Always ask:

Here's the feedback I've drafted:

Title: [title]

Body:
[body]

Does this look good? I can modify it if you'd like, or submit it as-is.

Only proceed with submission after user confirms.
