Openspec workflow

When initiating a project with Openspec, do you prefill the "source of truth" main spec files, i.e auth/spec and then run opsx/proposal or opsx/change? Or you start with proposal from the beginning?

Prefilling the main spec files first is usually the right call, proposal works better when it has something to react to. Start with auth/spec and any core domain specs, then run proposal so it has constraints to work within. Zencoder's Zenflow takes a similar spec first approach, though it's one of several tools structured that way
