What is the primary purpose of the OpenSpec skill?

It manages the lifecycle of a software change by creating sequential artifacts like proposals, specifications, and designs according to a predefined workflow schema.

Can it create multiple artifacts at once?

No, the skill is designed to create one artifact per invocation to ensure the user can review and validate each step of the technical design process.

How does the skill handle multiple active changes?

It lists recently modified changes and prompts the user to select the correct one, recommending the most recent entry to ensure accuracy.

Does this skill require external tools?

Yes, it requires the 'openspec' CLI to be installed and configured in your development environment to function correctly.

Productivity & Workflow

Automates the progression of technical changes by generating the next required artifact in an OpenSpec workflow.

This skill streamlines the development lifecycle by guiding Claude through the OpenSpec framework. It intelligently detects the current state of a software change, identifies the next logical step—ranging from initial proposals to technical specs and implementation task lists—and generates the necessary documentation based on project context and dependencies. By strictly following schema-driven workflows, it ensures that technical designs are comprehensive, consistent, and ready for implementation without skipping critical architectural steps.
