SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps teams apply OpenSpec changes by guiding task selection, status tracking, and iterative implementation, reducing confusion and manual overhead.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Change inference: Infer the target OpenSpec change from context or reveal options when multiple active changes exist.
  • Progress orchestration: Fetch status, read context files, and present next actions to keep work moving.
  • Guided implementation loop: Drive task-by-task execution with checkpoints and updates to task checkboxes.

Quick Start

Run openspec-apply-change to begin applying an OpenSpec change and follow the on-screen prompts to select and implement tasks.

FAQPage Schema
How do I track progress when applying multiple OpenSpec changes?

When multiple active OpenSpec changes exist, this Skill reveals the available options and prompts you to resolve the ambiguity. It infers the target change automatically only when a single active change exists in the context.

How do I manage task selection for active OpenSpec changes?

To begin applying an OpenSpec change, run openspec-apply-change and follow the on-screen prompts. The workflow guides task selection, fetches the current status, and presents the next actions to implement tasks iteratively.

Can I auto-select an OpenSpec change if only one is active?

You need the openspec CLI installed and active OpenSpec changes with readable context files. The workflow depends on the CLI to query change status and update per-task checkboxes during the guided implementation loop.

What is the best way to orchestrate iterative OpenSpec change implementation?

Unlike manual change management, this approach automatically infers the target change from context and orchestrates progress using the openspec CLI. It reduces confusion by providing actionable next steps and updating task checkboxes iteratively.
