Applying OpenSpec changes end-to-end involves coordinating change selection, running status checks, and executing pending tasks iteratively. The process enforces minimal, scoped code implementation, reads required context files, and updates task checkboxes automatically as each task is completed.

Managing code implementation tasks from an OpenSpec change is best handled by an automated workflow that fetches schema-aware apply-instructions, reads necessary context files, and guides iterative task completion. It updates progress and pauses safely when blockers arise.

Change management automation handles ambiguous requirements by pausing task execution and prompting for user input. It enforces guardrails on ambiguity, ensuring that code implementation stops safely when requirements are unclear or blockers arise during the workflow.

You do not need to manually select an active OpenSpec change before running automated task implementation. The workflow is change-aware and can automatically select or infer the active change, announcing the chosen change to keep you informed throughout the process.

When all OpenSpec tasks are completed, the change management workflow presents a clear completion status and provides guidance to archive the change. This ensures the iterative implementation process is properly finalized and documented.
