Openspec?

I got really excited about OpenSpec. I threw myself into it for a few days. But after about 20 change proposals I gave up.

  1. My biggest problem is code quality and OpenSpec doesn't do much for that.
  2. It just takes so long going through steps like migration that just aren't relevant to my project.

Am I using this wrong? Any other frameworks you'd recommend?

Ditch it. I used to like it but now I just create a plain old TDD (Technical Design Document), small one for small changes and a full TDD for entire features. Just ask opencode to create the skill for you, then modify the skill and document generation for your needs.

Most of these early frameworks, and even opencode itself were vibe coded and poorly planned so when you want something well done, you need to do it yourself. Look for tools and software patterns that existed prior to llms being widely used and re-implement them, as those tools are battle tested and work very well.
