openspec-continue-change

To automate OpenSpec artifact creation, this Skill selects the target change, queries its current status, and generates the next required artifact file based on the active schema instructions. It reads completed artifacts to enforce dependencies and ensure correct stepwise progression.

Dependency-aware workflow prevents out-of-order artifact generation by reading completed artifacts before creating a new one. The Skill checks the current status of the OpenSpec change and enforces required dependencies, ensuring you cannot skip steps or create artifacts in the wrong sequence.

When there is insufficient context to continue an OpenSpec change, the Skill prompts you for clarification. It enforces guardrails by preventing artifact creation until enough information is provided, ensuring the generated artifact accurately follows the active schema instructions.

You cannot skip artifacts when progressing through an OpenSpec change workflow. The Skill prevents out-of-order creation by checking the change status and enforcing dependencies, requiring all prerequisite artifacts to be completed before generating the next one.

The best way to track progress after generating an OpenSpec artifact is to rely on the Skill's built-in status reporting. After creating the next artifact file based on the active schema, it automatically reports the current progress of the change, showing what is completed and what remains.

You do not need to manually select the change when automating OpenSpec artifact creation. The Skill handles selecting the relevant change, querying its status, and generating the next artifact file automatically, reducing manual steps and ensuring continuity in the workflow.
