SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps users continue an existing OpenSpec change by determining the next required artifact, following schema rules, and creating that artifact in-project so workflows progress without manual file assembly.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Prompt the user to select a change when the target is ambiguous and list the most recently modified changes.
  • Inspect change status, retrieve artifact-specific instructions, read completed dependency artifacts for context, and create exactly one new artifact per invocation.
  • Use Case: A developer working with a spec-driven workflow can ask the assistant to continue a change to produce the next spec or design document while preserving project constraints.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to continue the change and it will prompt you to select a change and create the next artifact using the openspec CLI.

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

To continue an OpenSpec change, the Skill inspects change status via the openspec CLI, retrieves artifact-specific instructions, reads completed dependency artifacts for context, and writes exactly one new artifact per invocation to progress the spec-driven workflow.

What is a spec-driven workflow artifact and when do I need to create one?

A spec-driven workflow artifact is a project file like a spec or design document required by a schema. You need to create one when progressing an OpenSpec change to maintain project constraints without manual file assembly.

Do I need the openspec CLI installed to use this spec-driven change management workflow?

Yes, you need the openspec CLI installed and accessible. The Skill requires it to run list, status, and instructions commands, and needs permission to read and write project artifact files.

Can I use custom schemas for artifact creation in OpenSpec change management?

Yes, the Skill supports both spec-driven and custom schemas for artifact creation. It fetches artifact-specific instructions and enforces context and rules while writing the new artifact to your project.

Why does the OpenSpec change progression only create one artifact at a time?

Creating exactly one artifact per invocation ensures schema rules are followed and context is preserved. This prevents manual file assembly errors and maintains project constraints throughout the change management workflow.
