openspec-apply-change

Automate change application by using OpenSpec to select a target change, read context files, update task checkboxes as work completes, and track progression through a multi-step workflow. This ensures consistent status alignment and surfaces blockers early across all tasks in the change.

Track task progression by reading the current status, loading context from proposal and design files, implementing guided tasks, and updating checkpoints after each completes. This structured iteration keeps execution aligned with your plan and provides clear completion or pause states.

Query change readiness using `openspec status --change` to review progress, then retrieve apply instructions with `openspec instructions apply --change` in JSON format. Follow the guided tasks, updating checkboxes as you complete each step until the change reaches completion or a pause state.

Yes. The Skill reads context files including proposals, specs, design docs, and task files to drive multi-artifact changes. It enforces a structured iteration workflow that keeps all task statuses synchronized and reports clear states across the full change scope.

The Skill prompts you to clarify the ambiguous change before proceeding, ensuring you select the correct target change and supporting overrides. This prevents misaligned execution and lets you confirm the active change before implementation begins.
