Openspec Feature Workflow

Community

SYZ-Coder

openspec-feature-workflow

Use when a feature needs an OpenSpec change with proposal, design, specs, and tasks completed before coding. Trigger when the repo policy requires OpenSpec for non-trivial features, when the user asks for proposal/design/tasks first, or when behavior changes need durable change artifacts.

Markdown instructions
A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.
Works with any LLM
AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.
3 bundled files
Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.
Open source
Published by SYZ-Coder on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Openspec Feature Workflow AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
https://github.com/SYZ-Coder/superpowers-openspec-team-skills/tree/main/team-skills/openspec-feature-workflow
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/SYZ-Coder/superpowers-openspec-team-skills.git /tmp/superpowers-openspec-team-skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/superpowers-openspec-team-skills/team-skills/openspec-feature-workflow .claude/skills/openspec-feature-workflow

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Openspec Feature Workflow in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Openspec Feature Workflow on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Openspec Feature Workflow is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

Loaded only when it is needed
The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.
Switch models mid-chat
Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

OpenSpec Feature Workflow

Overview

Use this skill for the OpenSpec half of feature delivery. It creates and completes the change artifacts needed before implementation.

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

Workflow

Derive or confirm a kebab-case change name.
Create the change under openspec/changes/<change-name>/.
Run openspec status --change "<change-name>" --json to inspect artifact order.
Read openspec instructions <artifact> --change "<change-name>" --json before writing each artifact.
Complete artifacts in dependency order:
- proposal.md
- design.md
- specs/.../spec.md
- tasks.md
Re-check status until all apply-required artifacts are done before implementation starts.

When to Use

The user explicitly asks for proposal/design/tasks before coding
The user explicitly names $openspec-feature-workflow
AGENTS.md or team policy explicitly requires this workflow

Artifact Expectations

proposal.md: why and what changed
design.md: technical approach and trade-offs
specs/.../spec.md: normative requirements and scenarios
tasks.md: executable implementation checklist

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

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Openspec Feature Workflow AI skill do?

Why use Openspec Feature Workflow on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Openspec Feature Workflow is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Openspec Feature Workflow in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/SYZ-Coder/superpowers-openspec-team-skills/tree/main/team-skills/openspec-feature-workflow. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Openspec Feature Workflow?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Openspec Feature Workflow?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Openspec Feature Workflow with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Openspec Feature Workflow AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by SYZ-Coder under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
