Automating OpenSpec change scaffolding involves reading dependency graphs to generate artifacts in the correct execution order. This tool automatically resolves those dependencies and writes output files using templates until the change is ready for implementation.

Fast-forward artifact creation is an automated process that generates necessary files in their correct dependency order. It reduces manual setup time by executing per-artifact instructions sequentially until all required change artifacts are fully generated.

Generating artifacts in dependency order requires a resolver to map the execution graph and write files sequentially. The tool reads dependency relationships, applies templates, and outputs artifacts sequentially until all requirements are satisfied.

When input context is ambiguous during artifact generation, the process pauses to provide interactive prompts. This guides the user through the missing information to preserve development momentum and maintain setup guardrails.

OpenSpec change scaffolding requires an existing dependency graph to resolve execution order automatically. Without prior dependency definitions, the tool cannot determine the correct sequence for generating and writing the required output artifacts.

Template-based artifact generation applies predefined templates to write output files in resolved dependency order. It is designed specifically for software engineering change management scenarios to automate setup and reduce manual file creation steps.
