Start a WealthLedger OpenSpec change and draft only its first currently ready planning artifact. This workflow authorizes planning only and never implementation.

**OpenSpec store (WealthLedger):** Use only `wealth-ledger-specs`, whose physical root is `specs/openspec`. Every OpenSpec command that reads or writes specs or changes MUST include `--store wealth-ledger-specs`; keep this flag on every follow-up. Do not infer a store from cwd, the nearest root, or machine configuration.

**OpenSpec version preflight:** Before the first OpenSpec command, work from the workspace root and run `bash specs/scripts/verify-openspec-version.sh`. A missing or mismatched CLI is a blocking result.

**Approval boundary:** Create at most ONE planning artifact per invocation. After showing it, STOP for explicit Change Owner approval. File existence or OpenSpec `done` status is not approval. If approval of a dependency cannot be established from the current conversation, ask again before creating a downstream artifact.

**Planning gate:** After writing or editing the one artifact and before requesting approval, run `bash specs/scripts/verify-openspec-planning.sh "<name>"`. Fix structural failures and rerun the available stage checks. Structural success does not grant approval; a semantic mismatch returns to the earliest affected artifact and invalidates dependent approvals.

## Workflow

1. Resolve the requested intent and a kebab-case name; ask about ambiguity that changes scope, behavior, compatibility or acceptance criteria.
2. Use the configured default schema unless the user explicitly chooses another. Available schemas are read with `openspec schemas --json --store wealth-ledger-specs`.
3. Scaffold with `openspec new change "<name>" --store wealth-ledger-specs`; add `--schema "<schema-name>"` only after an explicit choice.
4. Run `openspec status --change "<name>" --json --store wealth-ledger-specs` and use its resolved paths.
5. For the first `ready` artifact run `openspec instructions "<artifact-id>" --change "<name>" --json --store wealth-ledger-specs`. Apply returned context, rules, template and instruction; create only that artifact at `resolvedOutputPath`.
6. Run `openspec status --change "<name>" --store wealth-ledger-specs`, show the draft and stop for approval before any `/opsx-continue`.

## Guardrails

- Never create a downstream artifact in the same invocation, even if status reports it ready.
- Never infer approval from file existence, CLI status, silence or the agent's own judgment.
- If an approved upstream artifact changes, report invalidated downstream approvals and stop without regenerating them.
- Do not edit application code or start Apply.
- If the change already exists, ask whether to continue it.
