openspec-continue-change

To continue a spec-driven change workflow without restarting, generate the next artifact based on the current state. This approach reads existing artifacts to ensure correct sequencing and dependencies while applying schema rules and templates to produce consistent outputs.

Artifact sequencing in change management is the process of advancing artifacts through proposal, specs, design, and task creation workflows. It works by reading existing artifacts to determine the current state and automatically generating the next required artifact in the sequence.

You automatically generate the next artifact for an ongoing OpenSpec change by requesting a continuation. The system evaluates existing artifacts, respects dependencies, and applies guardrails via provided instructions and templates to create the next document in the workflow.

Yes, OpenSpec change management applies guardrails and templates when creating artifacts. It enforces the schema's rules and uses provided templates during the continuation process to ensure that all generated artifacts remain consistent and respect functional requirements.

The best way to manage dependencies across proposal, specs, design, and task creation workflows is using context-aware planning. This approach reads existing artifacts to ensure correct sequencing and enforces dependencies before advancing to the next artifact in the change management workflow.
