Can it create multiple artifacts at once?

No, the skill follows a strict guardrail to create exactly one artifact per invocation to ensure accuracy and sequential integrity.

Does this skill require external software?

Yes, this skill requires the openspec CLI to be installed and accessible in your environment to function correctly.

How does it know what content to put in the artifacts?

It reads dependency files for context and uses specific instructions and templates provided by the OpenSpec CLI for the current change schema.

What is the primary purpose of this OpenSpec skill?

It automates the progression of a software change by identifying and creating the next necessary artifact (like a spec or design doc) based on the OpenSpec workflow.

Developer Tools

Automates the sequential creation of development artifacts within an OpenSpec workflow to streamline the change management process.

The OpenSpec Change Assistant is a powerful orchestration tool designed to guide developers through the lifecycle of a code change using the OpenSpec framework. By interfacing directly with the OpenSpec CLI, it intelligently identifies the next required artifact—such as proposals, technical specifications, or task lists—and generates them based on project context and predefined templates. This skill ensures that your development process remains structured and consistent, managing dependencies between artifacts and providing clear progress updates at every step of the workflow.
