# OpenSpec-extended for AI Agents
Framework reference for OpenSpec-extended. Covers the framework (repo layout, artifacts, resource taxonomy, glossary) and decision guidance.
---
## TL;DR — mental model in 30 seconds
**What OpenSpec-extended is**: a spec-driven development framework where you agree on **WHAT** to build before writing code. All artifacts live in the repository so humans and AI can collaborate.
**Skill split** (read both):
1. **This skill (`osx-concepts`)** — framework, repo layout, 4 artifacts, delta specs, resource taxonomy, decision guidance, glossary
2. **`osx-workflow`** — 4 tool layers (`openspec`, `openspec-extended`, `osx` CLI, `osx` lib) and the 7-phase autonomous loop driven by `openspec-extended orchestrate`

## §1 Philosophy
Traditional workflows pretend work is linear (plan → implement → done). Real work isn't. **OpenSpec uses fluid actions, not rigid phases** — skills are things you can do anytime.
| Principle | Meaning |
|-----------|---------|
| **Fluid not rigid** | No phase gates — work happens iteratively |
| **Iterative not waterfall** | Learn as you build; refine as you go |
| **Easy not complex** | Minimal ceremony; get started in seconds |
| **Brownfield-first** | Works with existing code; most work modifies systems |
