Applying OpenSpec changes end-to-end requires a guided workflow that reads apply instructions and implements tasks step by step. This ensures progress is tracked and task checkpoints are updated as each task completes.

Change management automation handles ambiguity by inferring the active change from context or letting you specify a change name. It validates the selection and prompts you to confirm the correct change before proceeding.

Yes, you can pause task execution when blockers or unclear requirements occur. The workflow emits guardrails that halt progress and provide options to proceed safely once the blocker is resolved.

The best way to track progress during an iterative apply workflow is using dynamic instructions and task checkpoints. This updates the status of each task automatically as it is completed, ensuring real-time visibility.

Yes, you need the OpenSpec CLI to execute change management tasks. The workflow uses the CLI to perform status checks and guide the iterative task execution process.

The workflow pauses on completed changes during task execution to prevent redundant work. It uses guardrails to detect completed changes and prompts you to verify before applying any new tasks.
