What is the primary purpose of the OpenSpec Change Continuity skill?

It automates the creation of the next required document or artifact in an OpenSpec-managed change workflow, ensuring that your development process follows a logical sequence from proposal to implementation tasks.

Can I use this for multiple concurrent changes?

Yes. If no change name is specified, the skill will list your most recently modified changes and ask you to select which one you would like to continue working on.

How does the skill know which document to create next?

The skill runs 'openspec status' to analyze your current progress and identifies the first artifact marked as 'ready' based on the workflow schema you are using.

Do I need to install any external tools to use this skill?

Yes, this skill requires the openspec CLI to be installed and available in your environment to query change statuses and fetch templates.

Does it support custom OpenSpec schemas?

Yes, it dynamically adapts its behavior based on the instructions, templates, and dependencies provided by the CLI for whichever schema your project is using.

Productivity & Workflow

Automates the sequential creation of development artifacts for OpenSpec changes to streamline spec-driven workflows.

OpenSpec Change Continuity is a specialized Claude Code skill designed to guide developers through the structured OpenSpec development lifecycle. It automates the progression of software changes by identifying the current state of a project, retrieving relevant templates and instructions via the openspec CLI, and generating the necessary next artifact—such as proposals, technical specifications, or implementation tasks. By integrating directly with the OpenSpec workflow, this skill ensures consistency, enforces project-specific rules, and minimizes the manual overhead of document-driven development while maintaining a clear audit trail of progress.
