OpenSpec: Align Requirements Before the AI Writes Code
· β 13 min read
1. What OpenSpec Is OpenSpec is an open-source, lightweight AI-assisted spec-driven development framework. It stores specs and changes in Markdown files, drives the AI assistant with slash commands (such as /opsx:propose and /opsx:apply), and uses a CLI to manage state, validate format, and archive changes.
In short, it turns “requirements talked out in a conversation” into a “traceable, iterable, archivable contract” β align before writing code, correct at any point during implementation, and when you are done, let the change settle into the source of truth for system behavior.
