About

OSS framework that organizes AI-assisted coding into version-controlled artifacts — proposals, specifications, designs, and task checklists — written before implementation begins. Integrates with 25+ AI coding assistants so humans and agents work from the same source of truth.

Choose OpenSpec when…

  • You want AI agents to write a spec/proposal before touching code
  • You're coordinating multiple AI coding assistants and need one shared source of truth
  • You want spec artifacts kept in version control alongside the code they describe
