How does the skill know what to include in the artifacts?

It reads the 'instruction' field from the openspec CLI and analyzes previously completed dependency files to ensure the new artifact is consistent with your project's goals.

What is the OpenSpec workflow supported by this skill?

The skill primarily follows a spec-driven schema which moves sequentially through creating a proposal, capability specs, technical design documentation, and finally implementation tasks.

Does this skill require external tools?

Yes, this skill requires the openspec CLI to be installed in your environment to manage the state and provide instructions for the artifacts.

Can I create multiple artifacts at once?

No, the skill is designed to create one artifact per invocation. This ensures that each step is verified and that the AI has the most up-to-date context before proceeding.

Productivity & Workflow

Progresses software changes by automatically generating the next required OpenSpec artifact in the development lifecycle.

The OpenSpec Continue Change skill automates the progression of feature development through structured, artifact-driven workflows. By integrating with the openspec CLI, it identifies the current state of a change, reads existing context from dependency files, and generates the next logical artifact—such as proposals, capability specs, technical designs, or implementation tasks. This ensures consistency across the development cycle and reduces the manual overhead of moving from concept to implementation, providing a clear path from initial idea to executable code.
