What is the primary purpose of openspec-ff-change?

It automates the creation of all necessary OpenSpec artifacts, such as tasks and specifications, so you can transition directly from a requirement to implementation without manual scaffolding.

Can I use this for existing changes?

Yes. If a change with the specified name already exists, the skill will recognize it and offer to continue generating the remaining artifacts for that existing workstream.

What kind of input does the skill need to start?

You only need to provide a kebab-case name for the change or a brief description of the feature or fix you want to build.

Does this skill require the OpenSpec CLI?

Yes, this skill requires the 'openspec' command-line interface to be installed and accessible in your environment to manage changes and generate instructions.

How does the skill handle complex artifact dependencies?

The skill parses OpenSpec status metadata 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 accelerate the transition from requirement to implementation.

The OpenSpec Fast-Forward Change skill streamlines spec-driven development by automatically scaffolding and generating all necessary artifacts in a single workflow. Instead of manually stepping through individual artifact creation, this skill interprets user requirements, initializes change directories via the OpenSpec CLI, and manages dependency-aware creation of tasks and specifications. It handles the complexity of the OpenSpec lifecycle, ensuring that all 'apply-ready' conditions are met before you begin coding, making it an essential tool for maintaining high architectural standards without the manual overhead.
