SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Continue working on an OpenSpec change by creating the next artifact, streamlining collaboration and ensuring a consistent progression through the spec workflow.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Guided continuation: select or infer the next artifact in an OpenSpec change and generate it according to the schema's rules.
  • Status-aware workflow: checks current artifacts, dependencies, and completion state to determine what can be created next.
  • Artifact creation guardrails: enforces single-artifact-per-invocation and orders artifacts properly, while integrating with dependency artifacts for context.

Quick Start

Ask me to continue the OpenSpec change to generate the next artifact.

FAQPage Schema
How do I continue an OpenSpec change and generate the next artifact?

To continue an OpenSpec change, the workflow automates selecting or inferring the next artifact, validates current status and dependencies, and writes the new artifact file to the prescribed path using the openspec CLI.

What is the artifact sequencing process in an OpenSpec workflow?

OpenSpec artifact sequencing enforces proper progression by checking completion state and dependencies, allowing only one artifact to be generated per invocation to maintain strict workflow order and schema compliance.

Do I need the openspec CLI to manage change artifacts?

Yes, this workflow interacts directly with the openspec CLI to list and describe changes, fetch instructions, and apply dependency context when generating the next artifact in the sequence.

Can I generate multiple artifacts for a change in a single step?

No, the workflow enforces a single-artifact-per-invocation guardrail to ensure proper sequencing, requiring you to continue the change iteratively for each subsequent artifact.

Why does my OpenSpec change workflow block artifact creation?

Artifact creation blocks when status validation detects incomplete dependencies or improper sequencing, ensuring you only generate artifacts that comply with the current change state and schema rules.
