OpenSpec v0.18.0 adds three new OPSX workflow commands for faster artifact generation, schema-aware instructions, and per-change metadata support.

OpenSpec v0.18.0: OPSX Workflow Commands

TL;DR

  • Three new OPSX experimental commands for faster artifact workflows: `/opsx:ff`, `/opsx:sync`, `/opsx:archive`
  • Schema-aware artifact system with per-change metadata and template loading
  • Enhanced list command with timestamps and cross-platform path fixes

New

  • /opsx:ff (Fast-forward) — Generate all needed artifacts in one go instead of step-by-step creation
  • /opsx:sync — Sync delta specs from a change to main specs, keeping your spec files in sync
  • /opsx:archive — Archive completed changes with smart sync check to prevent orphaned specs
  • Schema-aware apply instructions — Inline guidance and XML output for artifact generation based on your schema
  • Per-change schema metadata — Define schema context via `.openspec.yaml` files for granular control
  • Agent Skills for artifact workflow — New skill set for experimental artifact operations
  • Instruction loader — Template loading and change context support for reusable artifact patterns
  • Enhanced list command — Now shows last modified timestamps and supports sorting

Fixed

  • Path normalization for cross-platform glob compatibility — specs now work consistently on Windows, macOS, and Linux
  • REMOVED requirements handling — can now create new spec files with REMOVED requirements without errors
