Continue working on a change by creating the next artifact.
|
|
|
|
**Input**: Optionally specify a change name. If omitted, check if it can be inferred from conversation context. If vague or ambiguous you MUST prompt for available changes.
|
|
|
|
**Steps**
|
|
|
|
1. **If no change name provided, prompt for selection**
|
|
|
|
Run `openspec list --json` to get available changes sorted by most recently modified. Then use the **AskUserQuestion tool** to let the user select which change to work on.
|
|
|
|
Present the top 3-4 most recently modified changes as options, showing:
|
|
- Change name
|
|
- Schema (from `schema` field if present, otherwise "spec-driven")
|
|
- Status (e.g., "0/5 tasks", "complete", "no tasks")
|
|
- How recently it was modified (from `lastModified` field)
|
|
|
|
Mark the most recently modified change as "(Recommended)" since it's likely what the user wants to continue.
|
|
|
|
**IMPORTANT**: Do NOT guess or auto-select a change. Always let the user choose.
|
|
|
|
2. **Check current status**
|
|
```bash
|
|
openspec status --change "<name>" --json
|
|
```
|
|
Parse the JSON to understand current state. The response includes:
|
|
- `schemaName`: The workflow schema being used (e.g., "spec-driven")
|
|
- `artifacts`: Array of artifacts with their status ("done", "ready", "blocked")
|
|
- `isComplete`: Boolean indicating if all artifacts are complete
|
|
|
|
3. **Act based on status**:
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
**If all artifacts are complete (`isComplete: true`)**:
|
|
- Congratulate the user
|
|
- Show final status including the schema used
|
|
- Suggest: "All artifacts created! You can now implement this change or archive it."
|
|
- STOP
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
**If artifacts are ready to create** (status shows artifacts with `status: "ready"`):
|
|
- Pick the FIRST artifact with `status: "ready"` from the status output
|
|
- Get its instructions:
|
|
```bash
|
|
openspec instructions <artifact-id> --change "<name>" --json
|
|
```
|
|
- Parse the JSON. The key fields are:
|
|
- `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
|
|
- `outputPath`: Where to write the artifact
|
|
- `dependencies`: Completed artifacts to read for context
|
|
- **Create the artifact file**:
|
|
- Read any completed dependency files for context
|
|
- Use `template` as the structure - fill in its sections
|
|
- Apply `context` and `rules` as constraints when writing - but do NOT copy them into the file
|
|
- Write to the output path specified in instructions
|
|
- Show what was created and what's now unlocked
|
|
- STOP after creating ONE artifact
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
**If no artifacts are ready (all blocked)**:
|
|
- This shouldn't happen with a valid schema
|
|
- Show status and suggest checking for issues
|
|
|
|
4. **After creating an artifact, show progress**
|
|
```bash
|
|
openspec status --change "<name>"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Output**
|
|
|
|
After each invocation, show:
|
|
- Which artifact was created
|
|
- Schema workflow being used
|
|
- Current progress (N/M complete)
|
|
- What artifacts are now unlocked
|
|
- Prompt: "Want to continue? Just ask me to continue or tell me what to do next."
|
|
|
|
**Artifact Creation Guidelines**
|
|
|
|
The artifact types and their purpose depend on the schema. Use the `instruction` field from the instructions output to understand what to create.
|
|
|
|
Common artifact patterns:
|
|
|
|
**spec-driven schema** (proposal → specs → design → tasks):
|
|
- **proposal.md**: Ask user about the change if not clear. Fill in Why, What Changes, Capabilities, Impact.
|
|
- The Capabilities section is critical - each capability listed will need a spec file.
|
|
- **specs/<capability>/spec.md**: Create one spec per capability listed in the proposal's Capabilities section (use the capability name, not the change name).
|
|
- **design.md**: Document technical decisions, architecture, and implementation approach.
|
|
- **tasks.md**: Break down implementation into checkboxed tasks.
|
|
|
|
For other schemas, follow the `instruction` field from the CLI output.
|
|
|
|
**Guardrails**
|
|
- Create ONE artifact per invocation
|
|
- Always read dependency artifacts before creating a new one
|
|
- Never skip artifacts or create out of order
|
|
- If context is unclear, ask the user before creating
|
|
- Verify the artifact file exists after writing before marking progress
|
|
- Use the schema's artifact sequence, don't assume specific artifact names
|
|
- **IMPORTANT**: `context` and `rules` are constraints for YOU, not content for the file
|
|
- Do NOT copy `<context>`, `<rules>`, `<project_context>` blocks into the artifact
|
|
- These guide what you write, but should never appear in the output
