Automating OpenSpec change management involves orchestrating status checks, context loading, and task execution across artifacts. You select a change, load its proposal and specs, apply tasks to the codebase, and update progress until completion.

To resume a partially completed OpenSpec change, you continue the application process by selecting the active change, evaluating its current progress status, and iterating through the remaining tasks listed in the context files.

Applying an OpenSpec change loads proposal, spec, and design context files. These files provide the necessary schema and instructions to read task lists, implement codebase changes, and accurately mark tasks as completed.

Executing OpenSpec tasks requires an automated status check first. The process enforces structured steps for status inspection and context retrieval before applying any changes to ensure task implementation aligns with the current progress.

When an OpenSpec change application is blocked, the orchestration process reports the progress visibility, handles the blocked state, and suggests next steps or archiving guidance to help you resolve the issue and move forward.

Yes, this OpenSpec workflow automation supports iterating on remaining tasks. It provides dynamic instructions to read the task list, apply changes to artifacts, and update progress until all change tasks are fully completed.
