To create the next artifact in an OpenSpec change workflow, you need a tool that validates the current status using openspec status, fetches necessary instructions, and writes the new artifact to the specified output path. This enforces the artifact sequence to prevent out-of-order work and maintain traceability.

OpenSpec change management enforces artifact sequencing by validating current progress and reading dependencies before unlocking subsequent steps. This safe, ordered execution prevents out-of-order work and maintains traceability throughout the workflow.

The best way to automate OpenSpec artifact progression is using a status-driven workflow that validates progress, reads dependencies, and applies CLI instructions to write new artifacts. This ensures guided artifact creation and proper sequencing.

Yes, you need the openspec CLI to continue a change. The workflow uses the CLI to fetch the current status and necessary instructions, ensuring the new artifact is created safely and in the correct order.

Your OpenSpec change workflow has pending artifacts because it enforces a safe, ordered execution sequence. It validates progress and reads dependencies before unlocking subsequent steps, preventing out-of-order work until the current status is confirmed.
