openspec-apply-change

To apply an OpenSpec change, you execute tasks end-to-end using the openspec CLI. The workflow identifies tasks from the change, validates instructions, and updates status and artifacts to guide incremental code implementation.

OpenSpec change management tracks task status by reading the change instructions and checking the current schema. It interactively updates the task list and context files as you progress through the workflow execution.

Task orchestration reads instructions, checks schema and artifacts, and implements tasks incrementally. It dynamically handles context files and updates the task list to maintain status-aware progress throughout the change application.

Yes, you need the openspec CLI installed to apply a change. Providing the OpenSpec change name allows the CLI to interact with change status, instructions, and task lists to start, continue, or complete execution.

Yes, OpenSpec dynamically handles context files and updates task lists as work progresses. This ensures artifact updates occur automatically when you select, validate, and apply changes incrementally.

Implementation may stall if the openspec CLI cannot validate the schema or read the change instructions. Verify the change name provided is correct and that the task list and context artifacts are accessible to the workflow.
