Automating specification document creation is handled by reading existing artifacts and guiding you step-by-step to generate the next required proposal, design plan, or task breakdown. This ensures consistent progress and completeness for your iterative development workflow.

Continuing an OpenSpec change workflow involves seamlessly progressing your active change by reading current project status. The Skill automates dependency management and artifact creation, allowing you to resume refining specifications incrementally without losing prior context.

Managing task breakdowns and design plans incrementally is fully supported for new APIs. The Skill generates structured specifications and task lists based on current project status, ensuring product teams maintain consistent documentation and progress throughout the iterative design process.

Existing artifacts are required as the Skill reads your current project status to determine the next steps. It relies on previously created specification documents to guide you through the change workflow and automate the generation of subsequent artifacts accurately.

Step-by-step guidance for artifact creation ensures consistency and completeness across your specification and design processes. By automating dependency management and reading existing artifacts, the Skill prevents structural gaps and maintains strict continuity throughout your iterative software project.

Automating specification management relies on existing artifacts, meaning it cannot generate initial workflows from scratch. It is specifically designed to continue and refine active changes, requiring a pre-existing project status to determine the correct next artifact and guide the progression accurately.
