SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Coordinating and implementing OpenSpec changes across multiple artifacts can be error-prone and slow; this Skill provides a guided, repeatable process from change selection to task completion.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Guided change application: Select, validate, read context, and implement OpenSpec changes with progress tracking.
  • Context-aware execution: Reads apply-context files and updates task state as work progresses, handling blocked or completed changes.
  • Fluid, extensible workflow: Supports interleaving artifact updates and allows adjustments based on dynamic instructions.

Quick Start

Ask to apply a specific OpenSpec change by name to begin the guided task workflow.

FAQPage Schema
How do I apply an OpenSpec change across multiple artifacts?▼

To apply an OpenSpec change, you select a specific change by name, load its apply-context files, and follow a guided workflow that dynamically updates task state and tracks implementation progress across artifacts.

What is the guided workflow for implementing OpenSpec changes?▼

The OpenSpec change implementation workflow guides you through status checks, context loading, and task-based execution, allowing you to interleave artifact updates and adjust to dynamic instructions as work progresses.

Do I need the OpenSpec CLI to coordinate change management tasks?▼

Yes, you need the OpenSpec CLI installed and available in your environment, along with a valid change name, to begin the guided process of applying and validating OpenSpec changes.

Can I track progress when applying software engineering changes with OpenSpec?▼

Yes, OpenSpec change application features context-aware execution that reads apply-context files and updates task state dynamically, handling blocked or completed changes to track progress accurately.

What happens if an OpenSpec change is blocked during implementation?▼

When an OpenSpec change is blocked, the workflow's context-aware execution identifies the status during validation and adjusts the task state, preventing further implementation steps until the block is resolved.
