Can I use natural language to describe my change?

Absolutely. If you don't provide a specific change name, the skill will ask for a description and automatically derive a suitable name for the change directory.

Does this skill require external software?

Yes, this skill requires the openspec CLI to be installed and configured within your development environment.

What does the Fast-Forward Change skill do?

It automates the creation of all necessary OpenSpec artifacts, like task lists and specifications, so you can start implementing code changes immediately without manual setup steps.

How does it handle complex dependencies between artifacts?

The skill uses the 'openspec status' command to parse dependency orders and generates artifacts in the correct sequence, ensuring each one has the context it needs from its predecessors.

Will it overwrite my existing work?

The skill includes a guardrail that detects if a change with the same name already exists and will suggest continuing that change rather than starting over.

Productivity & Workflow

Automates the sequential generation of all OpenSpec artifacts required to begin implementation for a specific code change.

The OpenSpec Fast-Forward Change skill accelerates the development lifecycle by automating the manual creation of project artifacts. Instead of stepping through individual artifact generation, this skill analyzes project dependencies, templates, and context to produce a complete set of specifications and task lists in one go. It is specifically designed for developers using the OpenSpec workflow who want to move rapidly from a feature idea to an implementation-ready state without sacrificing structural consistency or documentation quality.
