OpenLoaf/OpenSpec-Chinese
active
significant_divergence
Prefer this fork if Chinese-language support and cleaner Chinese-generated artifacts matter more than staying current with upstream. Prefer upstream if you need the newest commands, workflows, and release parity.

zhing2006/OpenGameDesign
stale
significant_divergence
Choose this fork if your primary use case is game design and you value localized, game-specific spec templates. Choose upstream if you want the latest OpenSpec features, broader tool support, and lower long-term maintenance risk.
augmenter-dev/LightSpec
active
significant_divergence
Prefer this fork if you want a LightSpec-specific, skill-centric workflow and are comfortable with divergence from OpenSpec. Prefer upstream if you want the broader, more mature OpenSpec command set, templates, and compatibility.
Choose this fork if your main need is a Japanese-localized OpenSpec experience with clearer onboarding and workflow docs. Stay with upstream if you want the absolute latest release behavior and do not need localization.
Choose this fork if you want an almost-upstream OpenSpec with Qoder branding. Do not choose it if you want new capabilities or the latest upstream workflow improvements; upstream is the better fit for that.
AbSomeone/OpenSpec
stale

ClankerGuru/OpenSpec
stale
significant_divergence

Piebald-AI/OpenSpec
stale
significant_divergence
