Automate OpenSpec change artifact creation by using a skill that scaffolds the change directory and generates files in dependency order until apply-ready. It leverages openspec status and instructions JSON outputs to sequence creation and validate dependencies automatically.

Scaffolding an OpenSpec change directory is best handled by automating artifact generation in dependency order. This approach uses openspec CLI JSON outputs to determine the build sequence, populate templates, and track progress until all apply-required artifacts are complete.

You need the openspec CLI to generate change artifacts because the automation relies on its status and instructions JSON outputs. These CLI commands provide the dependency sequencing and validation data required to scaffold the change directory correctly.

OpenSpec dependency sequencing works by reading instructions JSON outputs to determine the exact build order for artifacts. The automation populates templates and validates dependencies sequentially until the change directory reaches an apply-ready state.

You can bootstrap OpenSpec implementation work from a brief description by automating artifact scaffolding. The skill prompts you for missing context when necessary, tracks progress, and generates all required files in dependency order until apply-ready.

OpenSpec change artifacts fail to reach apply-ready status when dependencies are not created in the correct sequence. Automating the scaffolding process with CLI JSON validation ensures all required artifacts are generated and validated in proper dependency order.
