Automating OpenSpec change creation is done by fast-forwarding artifact generation in dependency order, scaffolding all required files in one pass while enforcing template structure and excluding context or rules from final outputs.

Dependency-aware artifact scaffolding generates OpenSpec change files sequentially based on their interdependencies, verifying readiness before proceeding to ensure multiple interdependent artifacts are created and validated correctly.

Generating OpenSpec artifacts in dependency order requires providing a kebab-case change name or description, allowing the CLI to automate end-to-end scaffolding while enforcing template constraints across all generated files.

OpenSpec fast-forward generation strictly excludes context and rules from final artifact files, enforcing template structure to ensure only validated, dependency-ordered artifacts are produced during the change creation workflow.

OpenSpec scaffolding is designed for new changes with multiple interdependent artifacts requiring validation and iteration, asking clarifying questions when input is ambiguous to safely automate the end-to-end generation process.

Scaffolding a new OpenSpec change without manual steps involves providing a change name or description, triggering automated end-to-end generation that builds all required artifacts in dependency order with template enforcement.
