About OpenSpec
OpenSpec is an open-source spec-driven development framework designed to bring structure and clarity to AI-assisted coding workflows. It introduces a lightweight specification layer that helps teams define requirements before writing code. The platform organizes each change into structured artifacts such as proposals, specifications, designs, and task lists. It integrates with over 20 AI coding tools, allowing developers to use their preferred assistants while maintaining consistency. OpenSpec emphasizes an iterative and flexible approach rather than rigid development phases. Its command-based workflow enables users to propose, implement, and archive features efficiently. Overall, OpenSpec helps developers align with AI systems, reduce ambiguity, and produce more predictable and reliable outcomes.
