Full-stack-skills openspec-config

Configure OpenSpec project settings and global CLI configuration using `openspec/config.yaml` and `openspec config` commands. Use when the user says "configure OpenSpec", "project config", "add project context", or wants to set per-artifact rules.

OpenSpec Config Skill

Manage OpenSpec configuration at two levels: project config (

openspec/config.yaml
) for project-specific context and rules, and global CLI config (
openspec config
subcommands) for user-level settings.

When to Use

  • The user wants to add project context to improve AI artifact quality.
  • Setting per-artifact rules (e.g. "specs must use Given/When/Then").
  • Changing the default schema for the project.
  • Managing global CLI settings (telemetry, editor, etc.).

Prerequisites

  • OpenSpec initialized in the project (see openspec-initial).

Project Configuration

openspec/config.yaml

# Default schema for new changes
schema: spec-driven

# Project context injected into all artifact instructions
context: |
  Tech stack: TypeScript, React, Node.js
  API conventions: RESTful, JSON responses
  Testing: Vitest for unit tests, Playwright for e2e
  Style: ESLint with Prettier, strict TypeScript

# Per-artifact rules
rules:
  proposal:
    - Include rollback plan
    - Identify affected teams
  specs:
    - Use Given/When/Then format for scenarios
  design:
    - Include sequence diagrams for complex flows

Config Fields

FieldTypeDescription
schema
stringDefault schema for new changes (e.g.
spec-driven
)
context
stringProject context injected into all artifact instructions (max 50KB)
rules
objectPer-artifact rules, keyed by artifact ID

How It Works

  • Schema precedence (highest to lowest): CLI flag -> change metadata -> project config -> default (
    spec-driven
    ).
  • Context injection: Prepended to every artifact's instructions in
    <project-context>
    tags.
  • Rules injection: Only for matching artifacts, in
    <project-rules>
    tags, after context.

Artifact IDs (spec-driven schema)

  • proposal
    — Change proposal
  • specs
    — Specifications
  • design
    — Technical design
  • tasks
    — Implementation tasks

Global CLI Configuration

openspec config list          # Show all settings
openspec config get <key>     # Get a value
openspec config set <key> <value>  # Set a value
openspec config unset <key>   # Remove a key
openspec config reset --all --yes  # Reset to defaults
openspec config edit          # Open in $EDITOR
openspec config path          # Show config file location

Common Settings

SettingExample
Disable telemetry
openspec config set telemetry.enabled false
Set user name
openspec config set user.name "My Name" --string

Outputs

  • openspec/config.yaml
    with project context and rules.
  • Improved AI artifact quality through context injection.

Next Steps

  • Start working with openspec-new or openspec-explore.
  • Create a custom schema with openspec-schema and set it as default in config.

Troubleshooting

  • "Unknown artifact ID in rules": Check artifact IDs match your schema; run
    openspec schemas --json
    .
  • Config not applied: Ensure file is at
    openspec/config.yaml
    (not
    .yml
    ); check YAML syntax.
  • Context too large: Limit is 50KB; summarize or link to external docs.
