openspec-apply-change

You can automate OpenSpec change execution by using a guided CLI workflow that validates status, reads context files, and iterates through pending tasks. It applies scoped edits incrementally and pauses safely on blockers.

Task-tracking updates are driven by reading contextual artifacts and enforcing CLI-driven status checks. The system displays progress dynamically based on the schema and current task state to ensure safe, incremental changes.

When applying changes incrementally, the guided workflow pauses safely upon encountering blockers or ambiguities. It ensures controlled execution by waiting for resolution before proceeding with further scoped edits.

You do not need to provide a specific change name to start the OpenSpec workflow. You can provide the change name explicitly, or let the system infer it from your current context to begin applying tasks.

You can use this workflow to validate the current status of an OpenSpec change before implementation. It checks the existing status and retrieves apply instructions to ensure safe, incremental task execution.

Reading context files before executing tasks provides dynamic guidance based on the schema and task state. This ensures that contextual artifacts drive progress and that scoped edits are applied safely during the change workflow.
