What is an OpenSpec artifact?

An artifact is a structured document, such as proposal.md, spec.md, or design.md, required by the OpenSpec schema to move a software change from concept to implementation.

Can I skip steps in the workflow?

No, the skill is designed to follow a strict sequence (e.g., proposal -> spec -> design -> tasks) to ensure all dependencies are met and documentation remains consistent.

How does the skill handle project-specific rules?

The skill retrieves 'context' and 'rules' directly from the OpenSpec CLI for each artifact, using them as internal constraints to guide the generation process without cluttering the final output file.

Do I need the OpenSpec CLI installed to use this skill?

Yes, this skill acts as an interface for the openspec CLI. You must have the CLI installed and configured in your environment for the skill to function.

API Development

Progresses structured development workflows by automatically generating the next required artifact based on OpenSpec schemas.

The OpenSpec Change Manager skill streamlines the software development lifecycle by guiding developers through a rigorous, spec-driven workflow. It intelligently identifies the current state of a change request, retrieves specific instructions for the next required artifact—such as proposals, technical specs, architectural designs, or implementation tasks—and generates them while adhering to project-specific constraints. By automating the transition between planning phases and ensuring all dependencies are respected, it maintains high-quality documentation and clear implementation paths for complex software changes.

Key Features

01Progress Tracking: Provides real-time status updates on artifact completion and remaining steps in the workflow.

02Automated Workflow Progression: Moves changes through proposal, spec, design, and task phases automatically.

03Context-Aware Generation: Reads dependency artifacts to ensure consistency across the entire change lifecycle.

04Schema-Driven Guidance: Adapts to different workflow schemas, providing tailored instructions for each stage.

05Interactive Selection: Helps users identify and select the most relevant active change to work on from the CLI.
