Can I skip artifacts in the workflow sequence?

No, this skill is designed to enforce a structured sequence to ensure all dependencies are met and technical decisions are properly documented before tasks are created.

OpenSpec is a specification-driven development workflow that uses structured artifacts like proposals, specs, and designs to define and implement software changes systematically.

Does this skill require external tools?

Yes, this skill requires the openspec CLI to be installed and configured in your environment to manage change states and generate instructions.

How does this skill help in the development process?

It automates the planning phase by identifying the 'next step' in your workflow and creating the necessary documents, ensuring your implementation is based on solid technical design.

Productivity & Workflow

Automates the progression of software change specifications by generating the next required artifact in an OpenSpec workflow.

This skill streamlines the software development lifecycle by managing OpenSpec-driven changes within Claude Code. It automatically identifies the current state of a change, determines the next necessary artifact—such as proposals, technical specs, or implementation tasks—and generates them based on project context and predefined schemas. By enforcing artifact dependencies and providing clear progress tracking, it ensures a structured, spec-first approach to coding that bridges the gap between high-level requirements and implementation.
