OpenSpec Fast-Forward Skill

Use /opsx:ff to fast-forward through all planning artifact creation at once. Creates all artifacts in dependency order (proposal -> specs -> design -> tasks) in a single pass.

When to Use

The user has a clear picture of what to build and does not need incremental review.
The user says "fast forward", "create everything", "generate all planning docs".
Small to medium features where step-by-step review is unnecessary.

Prerequisites

An active change exists (created via openspec-new or /opsx:new).
Or use /opsx:ff <change-name> to create and fast-forward in one step.

Workflow

Run fast-forward
- /opsx:ff — fast-forward the current/inferred change.
- /opsx:ff <change-name> — fast-forward a specific change.
Artifacts are created in dependency order
- In the default spec-driven schema:
  1. proposal.md — why and what
  2. specs/**/*.md — delta specs (requirements and scenarios)
  3. design.md — technical approach
  4. tasks.md — implementation checklist
- Each artifact reads its dependencies before being created.
Review
- All planning artifacts are now available. The user can edit any of them before proceeding.

Outputs

All planning artifacts created in openspec/changes/<name>/:
- proposal.md
- specs/**/*.md
- design.md
- tasks.md

Next Steps

Review and edit artifacts if needed.
Use openspec-apply to implement tasks.
Or use openspec-verify after implementation to validate.

Troubleshooting

"Change not found": Specify the name: /opsx:ff add-dark-mode.
Artifact quality issues: Use /opsx:continue instead for more control; add project context in openspec/config.yaml (see openspec-config).
