Spec-Driven Development with OpenSpec: A Practical Guide

OpenSpec is a spec-driven workflow that addresses drift and inconsistency in AI-assisted team development. By generating structured planning artifacts (proposal.md, spec.md, design.md, tasks.md) before writing code, teams align intent across developers and AI sessions. The guide covers the full command flow (/opsx:propose, /opsx:apply, /opsx:archive, etc.), artifact structure, spec deltas for evolving behavior safely, and practical adoption advice. Key benefits include reduced token waste from rewrites, traceable decision history in git, and consistent implementation patterns across contributors.
