SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you resume an OpenSpec change without losing context, so you can move from the current workflow state to the next required artifact with confidence.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Change Continuation: Identifies the current change and guides the next step in the OpenSpec workflow.
  • Artifact Creation: Creates exactly one next artifact at a time, following schema rules and dependency order.
  • Status-Aware Progression: Checks completion state, unblocked artifacts, and workflow progress before taking action.
  • Use Case: When a user says they want to continue a specification or implementation effort, this Skill helps select the right change, inspect its status, and produce the next output in sequence.

Quick Start

Ask the openspec continue-change skill to continue the current change or help you choose the right OpenSpec change to advance.

FAQPage Schema
How do I continue an OpenSpec change from its current workflow state?

To continue an OpenSpec change, the workflow inspects the current change status, identifies unblocked dependencies, and generates exactly one next artifact in sequence to maintain ordered progression.

What is spec-driven change management and when do I need it?

Spec-driven change management is a workflow process that uses structured artifacts to track and guide implementation efforts. You need it when resuming specification work and requiring a guided progression from the current state to the next output file.

How do I create the next artifact in a spec-driven workflow without losing context?

Creating the next artifact requires status inspection and dependency-aware progression. The workflow checks completion state and applies schema-specific instructions to produce the correct next output file without losing context.

Can I generate multiple artifacts at once when resuming an OpenSpec change?

No, the workflow creates exactly one next artifact at a time. It checks completion state, unblocked artifacts, and workflow progress before taking action to keep the change management workflow ordered and complete.

Does the OpenSpec continue-change workflow require specific dependencies to run?

The OpenSpec continue-change workflow operates without external dependencies. It relies on status inspection and schema-specific instructions to guide the creation of the next required artifact in the sequence.

Why does my OpenSpec workflow not advance to the next output file?

An OpenSpec workflow may stall if dependencies are unmet or the current change status is incomplete. The workflow requires status-aware progression checks before creating the next artifact to ensure ordered completion.
