OpenSpec Fast-Forward FAQs

Question 1

What happens if I don't provide a change name?

Accepted Answer

If no name is provided, the skill will use the AskUserQuestion tool to clarify what you want to build and then derive a kebab-case name from your description.

Question 2

Do I need the OpenSpec CLI to use this skill?

Accepted Answer

Yes, this skill requires the openspec CLI to be installed and configured in your environment to manage the change lifecycle and artifact generation.

Question 3

What is the primary purpose of this skill?

Accepted Answer

It automates the creation of all necessary OpenSpec artifacts, such as task lists and design specs, so you can start implementation immediately without manually generating each file one by one.

Question 4

Does it include project rules in the final artifact files?

Accepted Answer

No, it uses project context and rules as internal constraints during the generation process but follows strict guidelines to ensure they are not copied directly into your output files.

Question 5

How does it handle artifact dependencies?

Accepted Answer

The skill parses the OpenSpec status JSON to determine the correct build order, ensuring that prerequisite artifacts are created and analyzed before dependent ones are generated.
