SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Automates applying and tracking changes for OpenSpec tasks. It coordinates change selection, status checks, and per-task implementation across OpenSpec workflows to keep teams aligned.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Orchestrates change application for OpenSpec changes
  • Determines change name, infers from context or prompts user when ambiguous
  • Checks status, reads apply-instructions context files, shows progress, and implements tasks with minimal, scoped changes
  • Provides dynamic guidance and handles completion, pauses, and blocked states

Quick Start

Provide a change name to begin; if omitted, allow the tool to infer it and start applying the OpenSpec change.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate OpenSpec task execution across multiple change states?

You can automate OpenSpec task execution by providing a change name to begin; the system then orchestrates change selection, status checks, and per-task implementation across various schemas and states automatically.

How does context-driven decision making work for change management workflows?

Context-driven change management works by reading apply-context instruction files to enforce scoped decisions, dynamically guiding task progress while pausing for clarification only when requirements are ambiguous or blocked.

What happens when change requirements are unclear during cli-automation?

When change requirements are unclear during CLI automation, the workflow pauses execution and prompts for clarification to ensure context-driven decisions align before proceeding with scoped task implementation.

Can I apply OpenSpec changes end-to-end without manually checking task status?

Yes, you can apply OpenSpec changes end-to-end without manual checks because the automation evaluates status, shows real-time progress, and handles completion or blocked states dynamically throughout the workflow.

What is the best way to track task progress during OpenSpec change application?

The best way to track task progress during OpenSpec change application is using automated status evaluation, which reads context files and updates implementation progress in real time across multiple schemas.

Do I need to specify a change name to start the workflow automation?

No, you do not need to specify a change name to start; if omitted, the system infers the change name from context and begins applying the OpenSpec change immediately.
