 - OpenSpec automatically configures slash commands for the tools you choose and always writes a managed `AGENTS.md` hand-off at the project root
 - A new `openspec/` directory structure is created in your project
 
 **After setup:**
 - Primary AI tools can trigger `/openspec` workflows without additional configuration
 - Run `openspec list` to verify the setup and view any active changes
 - If your coding assistant doesn't surface the new slash commands right away, restart it. Slash commands are loaded at startup,
-  so a fresh launch ensures they appear.
