Start with /enpalspec:explore "your idea" to think it through, then /enpalspec:propose to generate all artifacts.

See it in action

You: /enpalspec:explore add-dark-mode
AI:  Let's think this through...
     What's the goal? Where does theming live today?
     Key decision: CSS variables vs. Tailwind dark mode?
     → Recommendation: CSS variables, stored in localStorage

You: /enpalspec:propose add-dark-mode
AI:  Created openspec/changes/add-dark-mode/
     ✓ proposal.md — why we're doing this, what's changing
     ✓ specs/       — requirements and scenarios
     ✓ design.md    — technical approach
     ✓ tasks.md     — implementation checklist
     Ready for implementation!

You: /enpalspec:apply
AI:  Implementing tasks...
     ✓ 1.1 Add theme context provider
     ✓ 1.2 Create toggle component
     ✓ 2.1 Add CSS variables
     ✓ 2.2 Wire up localStorage
     All tasks complete!

You: /enpalspec:archive
AI:  Archived to openspec/changes/archive/2025-01-23-add-dark-mode/
     Specs updated. Ready for the next feature.

Quick Start

Requires Node.js 20.19.0 or higher.

Install EnpalSpec globally:

npm install -g @enpal/enpalspec@latest

Then navigate to your project directory and initialize:

cd your-project
enpalspec init

Now tell your AI: /enpalspec:explore <what-you-want-to-build> to think it through, then /enpalspec:propose to generate all artifacts.

Why EnpalSpec?

AI coding assistants are powerful but unpredictable when requirements live only in chat history. EnpalSpec adds a lightweight spec layer so you agree on what to build before any code is written.

• Agree before you build — human and AI align on specs before code gets written
• Stay organized — each change gets its own folder with proposal, specs, design, and tasks
• Work fluidly — update any artifact anytime, no rigid phase gates
• Use your tools — works with 20+ AI assistants via slash commands

Updating EnpalSpec

Upgrade the package

npm install -g @enpal/enpalspec@latest

Refresh agent instructions

Run this inside each project to regenerate AI guidance and ensure the latest slash commands are active:

enpalspec update
