SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Continue working on an OpenSpec change by creating the next artifact.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Enables seamless progression of an OpenSpec change by generating the next required artifact (e.g., proposal, specs, design, tasks) from the current state.
  • Provides guardrails and status checks to keep work moving when context is incomplete or multiple changes exist.
  • Reads completed artifacts to inform the next artifact and writes the output to the specified path using a template-driven structure.

Quick Start

Provide a change name to begin; if omitted, you will be prompted to select a recent change and automatically create the next artifact.

FAQPage Schema
How do I continue an interrupted spec-driven workflow and generate the next artifact?

To resume OpenSpec work, provide a change name to automatically determine the current state, apply status checks, and generate the next required artifact using a template-driven structure to guarantee correct sequencing.

What is the process for advancing an OpenSpec change to the next phase?

Advancing an OpenSpec change involves executing a controlled workflow that enforces status checks, reads dependency artifacts to inform the next step, and writes the output to a specified path using a template-driven structure to maintain correct artifact sequencing.

How do I create the next artifact in a spec-driven change management process?

Creating the next artifact requires reading completed dependencies to understand the current context, then generating the subsequent proposal, specs, design, or tasks file via a template-driven structure to ensure proper spec-driven progression.

Can I resume work on a spec-driven change if I don't specify which change to continue?

Yes, if a change name is omitted, the workflow will prompt you to select a recent change and automatically create the next artifact, applying guardrails and status checks to keep work moving when context is incomplete.

Does OpenSpec change management enforce dependency checks before generating artifacts?

Yes, the workflow enforces status checks and dependency reads before generating the next artifact, ensuring that completed dependencies inform the output and maintaining correct artifact sequencing across the spec-driven process.

What happens if multiple OpenSpec changes exist when I try to continue work?

When multiple changes exist, the workflow provides guardrails by prompting you to select a specific recent change, ensuring the next artifact is generated for the correct context and preventing incorrect sequencing.
