openspec-continue-change

Automating spec-driven workflow progression involves selecting an active change, checking its current status, and generating the next artifact file according to template dependencies. This enforces correct artifact order and prevents skipped steps in the change-management process.

The process to continue an OpenSpec change relies on parsing JSON outputs from the openspec CLI. It reads dependencies, checks the current status, and writes the next required artifact file, streamlining a multi-step workflow for incrementally updating specifications.

Yes, this spec-driven workflow approach enforces artifact order and dependencies through explicit guardrails. It checks the current status of the change and prevents skipped steps by ensuring all required dependencies are met before writing the next artifact file.

You can use OpenSpec CLI JSON outputs to generate the next artifact automatically. The workflow parses these JSON outputs to read dependencies, checks the current status of the selected change, and writes artifact files according to the correct template and sequence.

The best way to manage consistent artifact production in spec-driven development is automating the progression of changes. By selecting a change, checking status, and applying template dependencies, teams ensure artifacts are produced in the correct sequence without skipped steps.

Artifact creation fails when steps are skipped because the workflow enforces explicit guardrails and dependencies. It checks the current status via openspec CLI JSON outputs and requires all prerequisite artifacts to be completed before writing the next file according to the template.
