Can I use this for existing project changes?

Yes, if a change with the specified name already exists, the skill can suggest continuing that change or scaffolding new artifacts within that existing context.

How does the fast-forward skill work?

It automatically loops through the artifact build order defined by the OpenSpec CLI, resolving dependencies and creating all necessary files in the correct sequence without manual intervention.

Do I need the OpenSpec CLI installed?

Yes, this skill acts as an automation layer over the openspec CLI, which must be available in your environment to manage changes, status, and instructions.

OpenSpec is a CLI-based methodology for structured software development that uses specific artifacts to define and validate changes before the implementation phase begins.

Productivity & Workflow

Automates the sequential creation of all required OpenSpec artifacts to jumpstart implementation workflows instantly.

This skill streamlines the OpenSpec methodology by fast-forwarding through the artifact creation process, generating everything from tasks to schemas in one automated sequence. It eliminates manual step-by-step overhead by intelligently parsing dependency orders, fetching specific instructions, and applying project-specific constraints to produce implementation-ready files. It is ideal for developers who want to move from a high-level concept to actual coding without getting bogged down in repetitive scaffolding and planning tasks.
