openspec-apply-change

To manage OpenSpec changes, this skill guides execution from status assessment to task implementation. It handles schema-driven instructions, reads context files, and tracks progress across multiple tasks, updating artifacts and reporting actionable outputs as you complete each step.

An OpenSpec change workflow coordinates end-to-end task implementation. This skill enforces guardrails and changes behavior when changes are blocked or completed, providing appropriate next steps and state-aware execution to ensure your workflow proceeds correctly without violating constraints.

Start implementing an OpenSpec change by following guided prompts to select a change, inspect status, read context files, and apply tasks. The skill updates task progress in real time and pauses for clarification on ambiguous steps until completion or pause.

Yes, you can use this workflow for ambiguous task implementation. It provides interactive iteration that pauses for clarification when requirements are unclear, enforcing guardrails while updating task progress in real time to ensure accurate execution.

You should reconsider using an automated change management workflow if your changes are currently blocked or already completed. The skill alters its behavior for these states, providing next steps rather than direct implementation, which may not suit active execution needs.
