What happens if my request is too vague?

The skill includes a guardrail that uses the AskUserQuestion tool to clarify your goals before it begins creating files, ensuring the generated artifacts are accurate.

Can I use this for existing projects?

Absolutely. If a change name already exists, the skill will suggest continuing that change and building any missing artifacts needed to reach the 'apply' state.

What does the fast-forward feature actually do?

It automates the creation of all necessary OpenSpec artifacts, such as task lists and architectural specifications, so you can skip manual scaffolding and start implementation immediately.

How does it handle complex dependencies between artifacts?

The skill parses the OpenSpec status JSON to determine the correct build order, ensuring that parent artifacts are completed before their dependencies are generated.

Does this skill require external tools?

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

Productivity & Workflow

Accelerates development by automatically generating all required OpenSpec artifacts in a single, streamlined workflow.

The OpenSpec Fast-Forward Change skill automates the repetitive parts of the OpenSpec methodology by creating all necessary artifacts required for implementation in one go. Instead of manually stepping through each specification and task list, this skill analyzes your change request, scaffolds the directory structure, and sequentially builds every required document—from architectural specs to implementation tasks—ensuring all dependencies are satisfied and ready for coding. It is the ideal tool for developers who want to maintain high documentation standards without sacrificing velocity.
