SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you turn an OpenSpec change into concrete implementation work by identifying the active change, checking its workflow state, and guiding the next required edits without guessing.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Change Selection: Picks the correct change from context or asks for clarification when multiple changes are possible.
  • Workflow Awareness: Reads schema status, progress, and instructions so implementation follows the right OpenSpec process.
  • Task Execution: Reviews linked context files, performs minimal targeted code changes, and marks tasks complete as work is finished.
  • Blocking and Completion Handling: Detects missing artifacts, blocked states, and finished work so you can continue, pause, or archive appropriately.

Quick Start

Use this Skill to apply the current OpenSpec change and continue the implementation from the tasks and context files in the repository.

Frequently Asked Questions about openspec-apply-change

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I implement code changes from an OpenSpec change file?▼

To implement OpenSpec changes, the Skill selects the active change, reads its workflow state, and executes required code updates based on linked planning files and task lists.

How does spec-driven workflow automation handle blocked or completed tasks?▼

Spec-driven workflow automation detects missing artifacts, blocked states, and finished work by reading schema status, allowing you to continue, pause, or archive the implementation appropriately.

What is the best way to resume an incomplete OpenSpec task implementation?▼

To resume OpenSpec task implementation, the Skill reads the current workflow state and instructions, reviews context files, and performs minimal targeted code edits to continue progress.

Can I use this to apply changes when multiple OpenSpec changes are active?▼

Yes, when multiple OpenSpec changes are possible, the Skill picks the correct change from context or asks for clarification to ensure accurate task execution.

Do I need an existing openspec-cn status output to update task checkboxes?▼

Yes, updating task checkboxes requires openspec-cn status and instructions outputs to guide the required minimal code edits and track completion accurately.

Why does my spec-driven code update require context file review?▼

Spec-driven code updates require context file review to ensure minimal targeted changes align with the OpenSpec workflow state and accurately fulfill the active change requirements.
