What is an artifact in this context?

Artifacts are structured documents required by the OpenSpec workflow, such as proposal.md, technical specs, design.md, and implementation task lists.

Can it create multiple artifacts at once?

No, the skill is designed to create one artifact per invocation. This ensures you can review each step and that the AI has the most up-to-date context for the next document.

Do I need the OpenSpec CLI installed?

Yes, this skill requires the openspec CLI to be installed and available in your environment to manage the change lifecycle.

Does it follow specific project rules?

Yes, the skill reads 'context' and 'rules' from the OpenSpec CLI instructions to ensure generated content adheres to your project's specific standards.

How does it handle multiple ongoing changes?

If a change name isn't specified, the skill will list your most recently modified changes and ask you to select which one to continue.

Productivity & Workflow

Automates the progression of software changes by generating the next sequential artifact in an OpenSpec workflow.

This skill integrates with the OpenSpec CLI to streamline the software development lifecycle through structured, spec-driven development. It intelligently identifies the current state of a proposed change, determines the next required artifact—such as proposals, technical specs, design documents, or task lists—and generates it using project-specific context. By enforcing a logical sequence and reading dependencies, it ensures that every step of your implementation plan is consistent, documented, and ready for action.
