SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Automates continuing an OpenSpec change by creating the next artifact in the workflow, reducing manual context switching.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Guides users through selecting a change, checking status, and generating the subsequent artifact in the OpenSpec workflow.
  • Enforces the correct sequence and dependencies, ensuring artifacts are created in order.
  • Use case: progress a change from one stage (e.g., proposal) to the next by generating the appropriate artifact file.

Quick Start

Continue the current OpenSpec change by generating the next artifact.

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

To continue an OpenSpec change, you select an existing change, validate its status, and generate the next artifact file in the approved sequence using OpenSpec CLI guidance. This automates the workflow progression and reduces manual context switching.

What is the OpenSpec change workflow and how does artifact sequencing work?

The OpenSpec change workflow enforces a strict sequence for creating artifacts, ensuring dependencies are met before progression. It validates the current change status and generates the subsequent artifact file, maintaining correct order and dependency context throughout the process.

Do I need the OpenSpec CLI to automate change management and artifact creation?

Yes, you need the OpenSpec CLI installed to automate continuing a change. The Skill requires the CLI to read dependency context, validate status, and write the next artifact file in the approved sequence.

Can I use this to progress a change proposal to the next stage automatically?

Yes, you can progress a change from one stage, such as a proposal, to the next by generating the appropriate artifact file. The Skill guides you through selecting the change, checking status, and writing the subsequent artifact automatically.

What happens if I try to generate an artifact out of order in OpenSpec?

The Skill enforces the correct sequence and dependencies for artifact creation. If you attempt to generate an artifact out of order, the status validation step will prevent progression until the prerequisite artifacts are completed.
