Start a new change using the experimental artifact-driven approach.
**Input**: The user's request should include a change name (kebab-case) OR a description of what they want to build.
**Steps**
1. **If no clear input provided, ask what they want to build**
Use the **AskUserQuestion tool** (open-ended, no preset options) to ask:
> "What change do you want to work on? Describe what you want to build or fix."
From their description, derive a kebab-case name (e.g., "add user authentication" → `add-user-auth`).
**IMPORTANT**: Do NOT proceed without understanding what the user wants to build.
2. **Determine the workflow schema**
Use the default schema (omit `--schema`) unless the user explicitly requests a different workflow.
**Use a different schema only if the user mentions:**
- A specific schema name → use `--schema <name>`
- "show workflows" or "what workflows" → run `openspec schemas --json` and let them choose
**Otherwise**: Omit `--schema` to use the default.
3. **Create the change directory**
```bash
openspec new change "<name>"
```
Add `--schema <name>` only if the user requested a specific workflow.
This creates a scaffolded change at `openspec/changes/<name>/` with the selected schema.
4. **Show the artifact status**
```bash
openspec status --change "<name>"
```
This shows which artifacts need to be created and which are ready (dependencies satisfied).
5. **Get instructions for the first artifact**
