OpenSpec: Full Tutorial
Vague prompts and “vibe coding” can leave teams with code that’s hard to trust, review, or evolve—especially once a codebase is already in motion. This tutorial walks through OpenSpec, a spec-driven toolkit that aims to align humans and AI assistants on what to build before implementation, with a workflow designed for ongoing development and changes. Key takeaways How OpenSpec structures work into proposals, tasks, and spec updates to keep scope changes auditable and transparent How it separates “current” specs from proposed updates to handle evolving systems more cleanly A hands-on setup: installing via npm, initializing in a project, and generating project context files for an AI agent Moving from a change proposal to implementation while keeping results more deterministic and reviewable
