What is the OpenSpec Workflow Assistant?

It is a specialized Claude Code skill that automates the creation of software change artifacts like proposals and technical designs using the OpenSpec CLI methodology.

Can it handle custom workflow schemas?

Yes, it is designed to follow the 'instruction' and 'template' fields provided by the CLI, allowing it to adapt to various schemas beyond the standard spec-driven approach.

How does it determine which artifact to create next?

The skill queries the OpenSpec CLI for the current status of a specific change, identifies the first 'ready' artifact in the workflow schema, and fetches its specific instructions.
