openspec-expanded-path
This is the single-skill version of OpenSpec's expanded path. Use it when the user wants explicit scaffold semantics but does not want to manually invoke each OpenSpec step.
Flow:
new -> ff -> apply -> verify -> archive when safe or requested
Ground rules
- Work from the user's project root. If unknown, inspect the current directory first.
- Ensure OpenSpec exists with
openspec --version. If missing, install it withnpm install -g @fission-ai/openspec@latest. - If
openspec/is missing, initialize withopenspec init --tools none. - Use OpenSpec CLI state as source of truth:
openspec list --json,openspec status --change <id> --json,openspec instructions <artifact> --change <id> --json,openspec validate <id>. - Do not stop at a plan. Create artifacts, implement code, run checks, update task checkboxes, and report real command output.
- Ask only when a real decision changes the work. Otherwise choose the recommended default and proceed.
Procedure
- Determine the change name and optional schema.
- Initialize OpenSpec if needed.
- Scaffold:
openspec new change <name> --jsonwith--schema <schema>if requested. - Fast-forward planning:
- Loop on
openspec status --change <name> --json. - Generate every ready planning artifact using
openspec instructions <artifact> --change <name> --json. - Respect custom schemas and dependency order. Do not assume only proposal/specs/design/tasks if the schema differs.
- Loop on
- Validate:
openspec validate <name>. - Apply:
openspec instructions apply --change <name> --json.- Implement task checkboxes in order and update
tasks.mdafter each verified task.
- Verify:
- Run project checks.
- Validate OpenSpec artifacts.
- Compare implementation against requirements, scenarios, and design.
- Archive:
- Archive with
openspec archive <name> --yesif fully verified or explicitly requested. - Stop and report blockers if validation/tests fail or critical implementation gaps remain.
- Archive with
Use this when users prefer the expanded workflow model but want Hermes to drive all steps in one run.
