openspec-continue-change

To generate the next artifact in a specification-driven workflow, you need a system that checks the current change status and advances only when dependencies are resolved. This ensures the correct file is created in the proper sequence.

Advancing an OpenSpec change requires reading completed dependency artifacts before writing the next pending file. This schema-driven sequencing preserves workflow consistency across proposals, specs, designs, and tasks.

State machine workflow orchestration handles dependency resolution by evaluating artifact readiness before generation. It reads completed dependencies and applies schema-driven instructions to ensure the output file matches the active workflow constraints.

Yes, you can use CLI automation to continue an OpenSpec change safely. By running list and status commands, the automation selects the first ready artifact and uses instructions to write the output to the specified path.

If workflow dependencies are not completed, artifact generation will not advance. The system checks change status and only progresses when the next artifact is explicitly marked ready, preventing out-of-order file creation.

Yes, schema-driven documentation generation works with custom artifact chains. It uses CLI-provided templates and instructions to create the right file for the active workflow schema while respecting context and rules as constraints.
