--- name: openspec-ff-change description: Fast-forward through OpenSpec artifact creation. Use when the user wants to quickly create all artifacts needed for implementation without stepping through each one individually. license: MIT compatibility: Requires openspec CLI. metadata: author: openspec version: "1.0" generatedBy: "1.0.2" --- Fast-forward through artifact creation - generate everything needed to start implementation in one go. **Input**: The user's request should include a change name (kebab-case) OR a description of what they want to build. **Steps** 1. **If no clear input provided, ask what they want to build** Use the **AskUserQuestion tool** (open-ended, no preset options) to ask: > "What change do you want to work on? Describe what you want to build or fix." From their description, derive a kebab-case name (e.g., "add user authentication" → `add-user-auth`). **IMPORTANT**: Do NOT proceed without understanding what the user wants to build. 2. **Create the change directory** ```bash openspec new change "" ``` This creates a scaffolded change at `openspec/changes//`. 3. **Get the artifact build order** ```bash openspec status --change "" --json ``` Parse the JSON to get: - `applyRequires`: array of artifact IDs needed before implementation (e.g., `["tasks"]`) - `artifacts`: list of all artifacts with their status and dependencies 4. **Create artifacts in sequence until apply-ready** Use the **TodoWrite tool** to track progress through the artifacts. Loop through artifacts in dependency order (artifacts with no pending dependencies first): a. **For each artifact that is `ready` (dependencies satisfied)**: - Get instructions: ```bash openspec instructions --change "" --json ``` - The instructions JSON includes: - `context`: Project background (constraints for you - do NOT include in output) - `rules`: Artifact-specific rules (constraints for you - do NOT include in output) - `template`: The structure to use for your output file - `instruction`: Schema-specific guidance for this artifact type - `outputPath`: Where to write the artifact - `dependencies`: Completed artifacts to read for context - Read any completed dependency files for context - Create the artifact file using `template` as the structure - Apply `context` and `rules` as constraints - but do NOT copy them into the file - Show brief progress: "✓ Created " b. **Continue until all `applyRequires` artifacts are complete** - After creating each artifact, re-run `openspec status --change "" --json` - Check if every artifact ID in `applyRequires` has `status: "done"` in the artifacts array - Stop when all `applyRequires` artifacts are done c. **If an artifact requires user input** (unclear context): - Use **AskUserQuestion tool** to clarify - Then continue with creation 5. **Show final status** ```bash openspec status --change "" ``` **Output** After completing all artifacts, summarize: - Change name and location - List of artifacts created with brief descriptions - What's ready: "All artifacts created! Ready for implementation." - Prompt: "Run `/opsx:apply` or ask me to implement to start working on the tasks." **Artifact Creation Guidelines** - Follow the `instruction` field from `openspec instructions` for each artifact type - The schema defines what each artifact should contain - follow it - Read dependency artifacts for context before creating new ones - Use `template` as the structure for your output file - fill in its sections - **IMPORTANT**: `context` and `rules` are constraints for YOU, not content for the file - Do NOT copy ``, ``, `` blocks into the artifact - These guide what you write, but should never appear in the output **Guardrails** - Create ALL artifacts needed for implementation (as defined by schema's `apply.requires`) - Always read dependency artifacts before creating a new one - If context is critically unclear, ask the user - but prefer making reasonable decisions to keep momentum - If a change with that name already exists, suggest continuing that change instead - Verify each artifact file exists after writing before proceeding to next
