SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

OpenSpec change implementation often requires manual coordination across status checks, context gathering, and task execution. This Skill automates and guides that workflow to reduce guesswork and delays.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Guided OpenSpec change application: prompts for change selection, reads status and context, and orchestrates tasks until completion.
  • Progress and guardrails: handles blocked, all_done, and ongoing states with clear messaging to avoid misalignment.
  • Context-aware execution: reads context files, updates tasks, and surfaces actionable next steps for engineers and product managers.

Quick Start

Initiate applying a specified OpenSpec change and walk through status, context, and task execution until completion.

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

Automate OpenSpec change execution by prompting for change selection, reading status and context, and orchestrating tasks until completion. The workflow handles progress tracking, pauses on blockers, and resumes tasks to maintain safe incremental changes.

What is the best way to track progress when applying multi-step OpenSpec changes?

Track progress by displaying current status and updating task states during OpenSpec change application. It handles blocked, all_done, and ongoing states with clear messaging to avoid misalignment and reduce manual coordination delays.

How does context reading work during OpenSpec change management?

Context reading works by parsing apply-instruction contexts and schema-driven context files during OpenSpec change execution. It reads these files to surface actionable next steps and ensure context-aware task execution for engineers and product managers.

Can I pause and resume OpenSpec task automation when encountering blockers?

Pause and resume OpenSpec task automation when blockers occur by leveraging its iterative progress handling. It provides clear pause messages and allows resuming tasks later, ensuring safe incremental changes without losing prior execution state.

Do I need schema-driven contexts to use OpenSpec change application workflows?

Schema-driven contexts are required for OpenSpec change application workflows because the automation reads apply-instruction contexts to guide task execution. This schema-driven approach ensures context-aware updates and accurate progress tracking throughout implementation.
