To advance an OpenSpec change, you select a change via the CLI, check its status, and generate the next artifact file using schema templates. This structured workflow ensures proper order and dependencies while moving proposals toward specs, designs, or tasks.

Creating the next artifact involves checking the current change status with the openspec CLI and applying schema instructions and templates. This step-by-step guidance ensures artifact creation follows correct dependencies across the OpenSpec project.

Progressing an OpenSpec proposal follows a structured sequence of status checks and artifact generation. You use the openspec CLI to select the change, then create subsequent artifacts like specs, designs, and tasks to maintain workflow momentum.

OpenSpec workflows stall during artifact creation due to manual context switching and unclear next steps. Structured guidance reduces this friction by automating status checks and applying schema templates to generate the next required artifact.

Yes, you can use the openspec CLI to check change status before creating artifacts. Status checks determine the current workflow position, allowing the structured guidance to select and generate the correct subsequent artifact file.

The best way to manage OpenSpec change workflows is using structured step-by-step guidance with CLI status checks. This approach ensures artifacts are created in proper order and dependencies are respected, reducing manual context switching.
