Do I need to install anything for this skill to work?

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

Can I use this on an existing OpenSpec change?

Yes, if a change with the specified name already exists, the skill will suggest continuing that change and filling in any missing artifacts.

How does it handle complex dependencies between artifacts?

The skill parses the JSON output of the openspec status command to determine the correct build order and ensures that parent artifacts are completed before their dependencies.

How do I begin the implementation once the skill finishes?

After the skill confirms all artifacts are created, you can run the /opsx:apply command or ask Claude to start working on the generated tasks.

What does the OpenSpec Fast-Forward skill do?

It automates the creation of all necessary artifacts (like tasks and specs) required by OpenSpec for a specific change, allowing you to move directly to implementation.

Productivity & Workflow

Automates the end-to-end creation of OpenSpec artifacts to accelerate the transition from planning to implementation.

The OpenSpec Fast-Forward skill streamlines the software development lifecycle by automating the repetitive scaffolding of implementation artifacts. Instead of manually creating individual tasks, specifications, and documentation, this skill uses the OpenSpec CLI to identify necessary requirements, resolve dependencies, and generate all required files in one sequence. It is designed for developers who want to bypass manual configuration and move immediately into the coding phase with a fully structured change directory.
