SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Continually progressing an OpenSpec change requires coordinating change tracking, artifact creation, and ensuring dependencies are respected. This skill automates continuing the change by creating the next artifact while enforcing the required workflow.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Dependency-aware artifact creation: Reads completed artifacts, checks status, and creates the next artifact in the correct sequence.
  • Status-driven progress: Uses openspec status to identify when artifacts are ready to be created or when the change is complete.
  • Interactive continuation: Prompts for a change name if ambiguous and only proceeds after explicit user selection.

Quick Start

Tell me to continue the current change to generate the next artifact.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate creating the next artifact for an OpenSpec change?

Automating OpenSpec change continuation requires reading completed artifacts, assessing status, and generating the next artifact in sequence. This skill enforces the required workflow by checking dependencies and prompting for a change name when context is ambiguous.

How does dependency-aware artifact creation work in a change management workflow?

Dependency-aware artifact creation works by reading completed artifacts and checking their status to determine readiness. It enforces the proper workflow sequence, ensuring the next artifact is only created when dependencies are respected and the change is ready to progress.

Can I use CLI instructions to control how OpenSpec changes are continued?

Yes, you can use CLI instructions to control OpenSpec change continuation. The skill respects CLI-provided instructions and constraints, writes artifacts to specified output paths, and prompts for user input only when the change selection is ambiguous.

What is the best way to track and continue an in-progress OpenSpec change?

The best way to track and continue an OpenSpec change is using status-driven progress. By running an openspec status check, you can identify which artifacts are ready for creation or determine if the change is fully complete before generating the next file.

Why does my OpenSpec workflow prompt me to select a change name before proceeding?

The OpenSpec workflow prompts you to select a change name when the context is ambiguous. It requires explicit user selection before proceeding to ensure the next artifact is created for the correct change and dependencies are properly tracked.

Do I need to manually check artifact status before generating the next change file?

No, you do not need to manually check artifact status. The continuation process automatically uses status assessment to identify when artifacts are ready for creation or when the change is complete, handling dependencies without manual intervention.
