SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Advancing a spec-driven change requires knowing which artifact comes next, what template it follows, and which dependencies to read. This Skill automates that progression by querying the openspec CLI for status and instructions, then creating exactly one artifact per invocation. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Status-Driven Progression: Runs openspec status to determine which artifact is ready, then fetches its instructions and template before writing. - Change Selection: Infers the active change from context, auto-selects when only one exists, or prompts with the most recently modified changes when ambiguous. - Store-Aware Operation: Supports registered OpenSpec stores via --store <id> flags discovered through openspec store list --json. - Use Case: A developer mid-way through a spec-driven change asks to continue; the Skill detects the next ready artifact (e.g., a design doc), reads completed dependencies from disk, writes the artifact to its resolved path, and reports progress. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to continue working on your current OpenSpec change and create the next artifact.

Frequently Asked Questions about openspec-continue-change

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I continue an OpenSpec change workflow?▼

Invoke the continue command and the Skill runs openspec status to find the first artifact marked ready, fetches its instructions and template, then writes that single artifact to the resolved output path before stopping.

How does the Skill choose which change to work on?▼

It uses a provided name, infers from conversation context, or auto-selects when only one active change exists. If ambiguous, it lists changes sorted by most recently modified and prompts you to pick, marking the newest as recommended.

Does openspec-continue-change work with registered OpenSpec stores?▼

Yes. It runs openspec store list --json to discover registered store ids, then appends --store <id> to all commands that read or write specs and changes, keeping the flag sticky for the rest of the workflow.

What happens when all planning artifacts are complete?▼

When isPlanningComplete is true, the Skill stops creating artifacts, shows the final status with the schema used, and suggests implementing the change and archiving it once tracked work is done.

Why does the Skill re-read dependency files from disk?▼

Dependency artifacts may have been edited since they were last seen in conversation, so the Skill always re-reads them from disk before creating a new artifact to ensure the output reflects current content.
