What is the primary purpose of the OpenSpec Fast-Forward skill?

It automates the repetitive process of creating multiple OpenSpec artifacts (like tasks and specs) needed to start a coding task, saving time and ensuring consistency.

What happens if the skill needs more information to create an artifact?

It will use the AskUserQuestion tool to prompt you for clarification, ensuring the generated specifications accurately reflect your intentions.

Can I use this skill on an existing OpenSpec change?

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

Do I need any external software to use this skill?

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

How does the skill handle dependencies between artifacts?

The skill parses the OpenSpec status JSON to determine the correct build order, ensuring that parent artifacts are completed and read for context before child artifacts are generated.

Productivity & Workflow

Automates the sequential generation of all required OpenSpec artifacts to streamline the transition from concept to implementation.

The OpenSpec Fast-Forward skill accelerates the development lifecycle by automating the entire artifact creation process within the OpenSpec framework. Instead of manually stepping through individual specifications and task definitions, this skill identifies the necessary build order, fetches schema-specific instructions, and generates all required files in a single, continuous workflow. It is ideal for developers who want to rapidly bootstrap the architectural context and task lists for a new feature or fix, ensuring all prerequisites are met before writing a single line of implementation code.
