What is the OpenSpec Change Manager skill?

It is a Claude Code extension that automates the creation of development artifacts like proposals and specs following the OpenSpec methodology to ensure structured software delivery.

Do I need the OpenSpec CLI to use this skill?

Yes, this skill requires the openspec CLI to be installed and accessible in your environment to manage changes, track status, and retrieve artifact instructions.

How does it know which file to create next?

The skill queries the openspec status and instructions commands to determine the current state of your change and identifies the first artifact marked as 'ready' based on the workflow schema.

Can I create multiple artifacts at once?

To ensure high-quality output and accurate context application, the skill is designed to create exactly one artifact per invocation, allowing you to review and refine the workflow step-by-step.

生産性とワークフロー

Streamlines the OpenSpec development lifecycle by automating the sequential creation of proposals, specifications, and design artifacts.

OpenSpec Change Manager is a specialized skill for Claude Code that automates the progression of software changes using the OpenSpec framework. It intelligently manages the artifact pipeline—from initial proposals and capability specs to technical design and task breakdowns—by interfacing with the openspec CLI. By tracking the status of changes and contextually generating the next required document based on defined schemas, it ensures developers follow a structured, specification-driven development process without manual overhead, keeping implementation and documentation perfectly in sync.
