Summary

Add support for creating reusable skills or memories directly from completed OpenSpec specifications (e.g., /opsx::distill), and provide a way to migrate/export those specs into a separate adjacent project or repository (e.g., /opsx::migrate)

Motivation

Many specs ultimately become operational workflows, agents, memories/skills. Being able to generate a skill scaffold from a spec would streamline the path from design to implementation.

Separately, specs often need to live beyond the planning phase and be maintained in a dedicated project. An export/migration capability would make it easier to promote mature specs into related repositories while preserving structure and traceability.

Proposed Features

1. Generate Skill from Spec

   • Create a skill scaffold from a completed spec.
   • Carry over relevant metadata, requirements, workflows, and documentation.

2. Export/Migrate Spec

   • Move or export a spec to another repository/project.
   • Preserve links, history, and metadata where feasible.

Benefits

• Reduces duplication between specification and implementation.
• Improves workflow from planning to deployment.
• Enables better separation of specification management and operational skill development.
• Supports larger multi-repository project structures.
