What is the primary purpose of the OpenSpec Continue Change skill?

It automates the progression of a software change by creating the next necessary artifact in the OpenSpec workflow, such as a spec file, design document, or task list.

Does this skill require external software?

Yes, this skill requires the OpenSpec CLI to be installed and configured in your environment to manage the change metadata and schemas.

How does the skill decide which artifact to create next?

It queries the OpenSpec CLI status for a specific change and identifies the first artifact marked as 'ready' based on the defined workflow schema.

Can I use this for custom development schemas?

Yes, while it follows common patterns like spec-driven schemas, it dynamically reads instructions and templates from the CLI, supporting various OpenSpec configurations.

Why does it only create one artifact at a time?

Creating one artifact per invocation ensures that each step is verified by the user and that subsequent artifacts have the most up-to-date context from previously completed files.

Productivity & Workflow

Automates the sequential creation of development artifacts for OpenSpec changes to streamline software planning and documentation.

The openspec-continue-change skill facilitates a structured software development lifecycle by automating the generation of critical project artifacts through the OpenSpec CLI. It intelligently identifies the current state of a development change and produces the next required document—whether it's a technical proposal, capability specification, architectural design, or implementation task list. By maintaining context across dependencies and adhering to project-specific rules, this skill ensures that documentation remains consistent, structured, and ready for implementation without manual boilerplate management.
