Does this skill require the OpenSpec CLI?

Yes, this skill requires the openspec CLI to be installed and accessible in your environment to manage the artifact creation process.

Can I provide my own instructions for the artifacts?

The skill follows the instruction field and schema defined by openspec for each artifact type, ensuring output consistency while allowing you to provide specific project context during the initial prompt.

How does it handle complex dependencies?

The skill parses the OpenSpec status JSON to determine the correct build order, ensuring that each artifact is created only after its dependencies are satisfied and context is available.

What is the primary benefit of the openspec-ff-change skill?

It saves time by automatically generating every artifact required for a code change in the correct order, allowing you to start coding immediately instead of manually creating task lists or specifications.

Productivity & Workflow

Automates the sequential generation of implementation artifacts to accelerate the transition from feature concept to code.

The OpenSpec Change Fast-Forward skill is designed to streamline the initial stages of the development lifecycle by automating the creation of necessary scaffolding and specification artifacts. By interfacing with the openspec CLI, it identifies the required build order, satisfies dependencies, and generates all pre-implementation files (such as task lists and requirements) in a single workflow. This allows developers to bypass manual setup and move immediately into the implementation phase with a fully defined context and structure.
