Does this skill require external tools?

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

What is OpenSpec Fast-Forward?

It is a specialized Claude Code skill that automates the creation of all necessary project artifacts required to begin implementing a specific code change using the OpenSpec framework.

Does it write the actual implementation code?

No, this skill prepares the environment by generating the 'apply-ready' artifacts. Once finished, you can use commands like /opsx:apply to begin the actual code implementation.

Will it overwrite my existing work?

If a change with the same name already exists, the skill is designed to suggest continuing the existing change rather than overwriting it, preserving your progress.

How does it handle artifact dependencies?

The skill parses the artifact build order from the OpenSpec CLI's JSON status output, ensuring that prerequisite artifacts are fully generated before creating downstream files.

Productivity & Workflow

Automates the sequential creation of all required OpenSpec artifacts to accelerate the transition from concept to implementation.

The OpenSpec Change Fast-Forward skill streamlines the initialization of new features or bug fixes by automatically generating the entire suite of required artifacts in a single workflow. By interfacing directly with the openspec CLI, it handles change directory scaffolding, dependency mapping, and iterative artifact creation according to specific project schemas. This eliminates the manual overhead of stepping through individual generation steps, ensuring that developers can bypass boilerplate setup and jump straight into the implementation phase with all necessary context and task definitions pre-established.
