openspec-continue-change

To automate creating the next OpenSpec artifact, this skill checks the current change status, retrieves schema instructions, and generates the subsequent artifact file in the correct sequence. It enforces dependency-aware creation by reading completed artifacts before generating new ones.

Artifact sequencing in OpenSpec change management is the process of generating change artifacts in a strict, dependency-aware order. This ensures you read completed artifacts before generating new ones, preventing skipped steps and maintaining workflow integrity.

To progress an OpenSpec change using the CLI, this skill prompts for the change name, evaluates the current status, and applies the appropriate artifact structure defined by CLI outputs to create the next artifact file automatically.

No, you cannot skip artifact steps when managing OpenSpec changes. This skill implements guardrails that enforce the artifact sequence and dependency awareness, warning you if there is nothing ready to generate.

Yes, this OpenSpec workflow automation supports multiple schemas. It applies the appropriate artifact structure as defined by the openspec CLI outputs to ensure the generated artifacts match the required schema instructions.
