Do I need any external tools to use this skill?

Yes, this skill requires the openspec CLI to be installed and accessible in your environment to perform directory scaffolding and artifact generation.

What does the OpenSpec Change Fast-Forward skill do?

It automates the creation of all necessary OpenSpec artifacts, such as task lists and design specifications, required to start coding a new feature or fix in one streamlined process.

How does the skill handle dependencies between artifacts?

The skill runs 'openspec status' to identify the correct build order and ensures that all dependency artifacts are read for context before creating new ones.

Can I use this on an existing OpenSpec change?

Yes. If a change with the specified name already exists, the skill will suggest continuing that change rather than overwriting it.

What is the final output of this skill?

The skill produces a full set of 'done' artifacts in your local directory, concluding with a status summary and a prompt to begin implementation using commands like /opsx:apply.

Productivity & Workflow

Automates the sequential generation of all required OpenSpec artifacts to accelerate the transition from planning to implementation.

This skill streamlines the development workflow by rapidly creating a complete set of OpenSpec artifacts needed for a specific code change or feature. Instead of manually stepping through artifact generation, it orchestrates the openspec CLI to establish a change directory, determine the correct build order, and generate all necessary files based on user requirements. It intelligently handles dependencies, ensuring that every artifact—from tasks to design specs—is contextually aware and follows project-specific rules, leaving the repository ready for immediate implementation.

Key Features

01Dependency-Aware Generation: Parses artifact build orders to ensure all prerequisites are satisfied before creation.

022 GitHub stars

03Contextual Accuracy: Incorporates project-specific rules and constraints into artifacts without cluttering the output files.

04Automated Change Scaffolding: Instantly creates the necessary directory structure for new features using the OpenSpec CLI.

05Implementation Readiness: Automatically completes the full chain of required artifacts until the 'apply-ready' state is reached.

06Real-Time Progress Tracking: Uses integrated tooling to provide status updates as each artifact is successfully created.

Use Cases

01Fast-tracking the boilerplate creation process for complex architectural changes involving multiple dependent specs.

02Rapidly bootstrapping a new feature from a simple description into a set of actionable implementation tasks.

03Ensuring architectural consistency by automating the relationship between OpenSpec schemas and implementation templates.
