openspec-ff-change

To generate OpenSpec change artifacts from a single prompt, provide a change name or description to automatically scaffold the change directory and create every required file in dependency order. This one-shot process uses the openspec CLI and provided templates to produce apply-ready artifacts.

OpenSpec scaffolding is the automated process of creating implementation-ready artifacts for a new feature change. You need it when bootstrapping a new change, such as adding user authentication, to ensure consistent, schema-compliant files are generated rapidly and correctly.

Yes, automated artifact generation requires the openspec CLI to query status, read completed dependencies for context, and create files using templates. The CLI drives the dependency-aware generation process until all apply.requires artifacts are complete.

The best way to ensure correct dependency ordering is to use an automated scaffolding skill that queries openspec status and instructions, reads completed dependencies for context, and creates artifacts sequentially until apply.requires are complete, preventing manual ordering errors.

If your change description is unclear during artifact generation, an interactive AskUserQuestion flow prompts you for clarification to ensure accurate scaffolding. A TodoWrite-style progress tracker then displays created artifacts and overall progress.
