  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • Self-contained

    Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.

  • Open source

    Published by rpamis on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Openspec New Change AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.
2

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/rpamis/comet.git /tmp/comet
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/comet/eval/local/skills/benchmarks/dependency/openspec/openspec-new-change .claude/skills/openspec-new-change
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Openspec New Change in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Openspec New Change on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Openspec New Change is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Start a new change using the experimental artifact-driven approach.

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. Determine the workflow schema

    Use the default schema (omit --schema) unless the user explicitly requests a different workflow.

    Use a different schema only if the user mentions:

    • A specific schema name → use --schema <name>
    • "show workflows" or "what workflows" → run openspec schemas --json and let them choose

    Otherwise: Omit --schema to use the default.

  3. Create the change directory

    bash
    openspec new change "<name>"

    Add --schema <name> only if the user requested a specific workflow. This creates a scaffolded change at openspec/changes/<name>/ with the selected schema.

  4. Show the artifact status

    bash
    openspec status --change "<name>"

    This shows which artifacts need to be created and which are ready (dependencies satisfied).

  5. Get instructions for the first artifact The first artifact depends on the schema (e.g., proposal for spec-driven). Check the status output to find the first artifact with status "ready".

    bash
    openspec instructions <first-artifact-id> --change "<name>"

    This outputs the template and context for creating the first artifact.

  6. STOP and wait for user direction

Output

After completing the steps, summarize:

  • Change name and location
  • Schema/workflow being used and its artifact sequence
  • Current status (0/N artifacts complete)
  • The template for the first artifact
  • Prompt: "Ready to create the first artifact? Just describe what this change is about and I'll draft it, or ask me to continue."

Guardrails

  • Do NOT create any artifacts yet - just show the instructions
  • Do NOT advance beyond showing the first artifact template
  • If the name is invalid (not kebab-case), ask for a valid name
  • If a change with that name already exists, suggest continuing that change instead
  • Pass --schema if using a non-default workflow

Frequently asked questions

What does the Openspec New Change AI skill do?

Start a new OpenSpec change using the experimental artifact workflow. Use when the user wants to create a new feature, fix, or modification with a structured step-by-step approach.

Why use Openspec New Change on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Openspec New Change is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Openspec New Change in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/rpamis/comet/tree/master/eval/local/skills/benchmarks/dependency/openspec/openspec-new-change. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Openspec New Change?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Openspec New Change?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Openspec New Change with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Openspec New Change AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by rpamis under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
