v0.23.0 - Bulk Archive, Simplified Setup

What's New in v0.23.0

This release streamlines both active development and post-implementation workflows.

New

• Bulk archive - Archive multiple completed changes at once with /opsx:bulk-archive. Validates specs, detects conflicts, and shows a single confirmation before archiving.

Improved

• Config setup - Creating a new OpenSpec config now uses sensible defaults with helpful comments instead of asking questions. Get started faster.

v0.22.0 - Project Configuration

What's New in v0.22.0

OpenSpec now supports per-project configuration, letting you customize behavior and define schemas for project-specific workflows. (Still very experimental, feedback appreciated!)

More docs available here (search for schema and/or config): https://github.com/Fission-AI/OpenSpec/blob/main/docs/experimental-workflow.md

New

• Project configuration - Configure OpenSpec per-project with openspec/config.yaml to inject custom rules, specify context files, and control schema resolution
• Project-local schemas - Define custom artifact schemas in openspec/schemas/ for project-specific workflows
• Schema management - Inspect and manage artifact schemas with new openspec schema commands (list, show, export, validate)

Fixed

• Config loading now handles null rules field without errors

v0.21.0 - Feedback Command, Nix Support

What's New in v0.21.0

This release adds better feedback tooling and Nix support, plus guardrails to keep exploration focused.

New

• Feedback command - Submit feedback directly from the CLI with openspec feedback. Creates GitHub Issues with automatic metadata or provides a manual submission link if that fails.
• Nix flake support - Install and develop OpenSpec using Nix with flake.nix, including automated maintenance and CI validation.

Improved

• Change inference in opsx apply - Automatically detects which change to apply from conversation context, prompts when ambiguous.
• Archive sync assessment - Clearer guidance on delta spec locations during sync operations.

Fixed

• Explore mode guardrails - Explore mode now explicitly prevents implementation to keep focus on thinking and discovery.

v0.20.0 - Verify Command

What's New in v0.20.0

This release adds validation tooling and fixes several workflow issues.

New

• Verify command - Validate that your implementation matches the spec with /opsx:verify. Catches drift between what you planned and what got built.

Fixed

• Vitest no longer spawns process storms—worker parallelism is now capped
• Agent workflows use non-interactive mode for validation commands
• PowerShell completions generator now produces valid syntax (removed trailing commas)

v0.19.0

New Features

• Continue IDE support – OpenSpec now generates slash commands for Continue, expanding editor integration options alongside Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Code, and others
• Shell completions for Bash, Fish, and PowerShell – Run openspec completion install to set up tab completion in your preferred shell
• /opsx:explore command – A new thinking partner mode for exploring ideas and investigating problems before committing to changes
• Codebuddy slash command improvements – Updated frontmatter format for better compatibility

Bug Fixes

• Shell completions now correctly offer parent-level flags (like --help) when a command has subcommands
• Fixed Windows compatibility issues in tests

Other

• Added optional anonymous usage statistics to help understand how OpenSpec is used. This is opt-out by default – set OPENSPEC_TELEMETRY=0 or DO_NOT_TRACK=1 to disable. Only command names and version are collected; no arguments, file paths, or content. Automatically disabled in CI environments.
