openspec-continue-change

openspec-continue-change is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from chhuax/praxis-devos. It costs 43 tokens per session (841 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A workflow step for advancing an OpenSpec change by creating the next document that is ready. OpenSpec organizes software changes through artifacts such as proposals, specifications, designs, and task lists.

In plain words
What is it for?
Continuing a change, selecting the next ready artifact, and creating or planning the next proposal, specification, design, or task document.
Why use it?
It keeps the change process moving one artifact at a time and prevents documentation work from turning into code implementation too early.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

openspec-continue-change scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 118 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Continue an OpenSpec change, but create only the next ready artifact each time.

Core Positioning

  • OpenSpec owns change selection, artifact dependencies, status, and instructions
  • Superpowers owns requirement convergence and task decomposition
  • Advance only one artifact at a time
  • The continue stage does not implement business code

Exact Skill Protocol

  • When this route is matched, you must call the corresponding exact skill name
  • Do not substitute a similar local skill, todo list, manual breakdown, or long-form reasoning
  • If the exact skill is unavailable, report that explicitly and pause the current routing

Capability Routing

  • If the current artifact depends on unclear goals, boundaries, or approaches, use superpowers:brainstorming first
  • If the current artifact is tasks.md, call superpowers:writing-plans by default
  • In the continue stage, writing-plans only serves the entire tasks.md
  • Do not generate docs/superpowers/plans/... or any extra master plan

Input

You may specify a change name. If none is given, first determine which change should be continued.

Execution Steps

1. Select the change

  • If the user provided a change name, use it directly
  • Otherwise, run openspec list --json
  • If multiple candidates exist, do not guess; let the user choose

2. Check status

Run:

openspec status --change "<name>" --json

Read:

  • schemaName
  • artifacts
  • isComplete

If isComplete: true, show the final status and stop.

3. Choose the current ready artifact

  • If any artifact has status: "ready", create only the first one
  • If there is no ready artifact, show the current status and explain that progress cannot continue yet

4. Read instructions and generate the artifact

Run:

openspec instructions <artifact-id> --change "<name>" --json

Then:

  1. Read dependency artifacts
  2. Write the file using the template structure
  3. Treat context and rules as constraints
  4. Do not copy those constraint blocks verbatim into the artifact

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
