openspec-apply-change

You can automate task implementation by applying the openspec-apply-change process, which sequentially executes coding tasks defined in a change's tasks.md file and updates their completion status. It reads context files like proposals and specs to inform the workflow.

Spec-driven development task execution processes predefined workflow steps from a tasks.md artifact sequentially. It tracks progress by automatically updating the completion status of each task within the OpenSpec change artifact as coding progresses.

Yes, you need the OpenSpec CLI and an active project with an existing tasks artifact. The CLI is required to read the necessary context files, process dynamic instructions, and execute the change management workflow.

To start coding tasks for a new feature, invoke the apply change process on your target change. It will read the proposal, specs, and design context files, then sequentially implement the coding steps outlined in the tasks.md artifact.

Use automated task implementation when you have a defined OpenSpec change with a tasks.md file ready for execution. It is designed for spec-driven development workflows that require sequential task execution, contextual awareness, and automated progress tracking.
