Does this skill require external tools?

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

How does the skill know which change to work on?

It can infer the change from your conversation context. If it's ambiguous, the skill will use the OpenSpec CLI to list recent changes and ask you to select the recommended one.

Can I generate all artifacts at once?

No, the skill creates one artifact per invocation. This ensures that each step is verified and that subsequent artifacts have the correct context from the ones before them.

OpenSpec is a framework for specification-driven development that uses structured artifacts like proposals, specs, and design docs to guide the implementation of changes.

Productivity & Workflow

Streamlines specification-driven development by automating the creation of sequential project artifacts like proposals, specs, and designs.

The OpenSpec Change Automator is designed to guide developers through a structured specification-driven workflow using the OpenSpec CLI. It intelligently identifies the current state of a change, selects the next required artifact—such as a proposal, technical specification, or design document—and generates it based on project-specific templates and constraints. By analyzing previous dependencies and enforcing a step-by-step progression, this skill ensures that project documentation and implementation plans remain consistent, detailed, and context-aware.
