SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Automating the application of OpenSpec changes reduces manual coordination across tasks, artifacts, and status tracking, ensuring consistent execution and traceable progress.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Change orchestration: automatically select a change, understand its schema, and drive the apply cycle with real-time progress.
  • Context-driven implementation: read relevant context files (proposals, specs, design, tasks) and apply updates incrementally.
  • Guardrails for blockers: detect blocked states and prompt for continuation or escalation, with graceful pause when issues arise.

Quick Start

Tell me which OpenSpec change to apply and I will start implementing its tasks using the OpenSpec CLI.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate applying OpenSpec changes end-to-end?▼

You can automate applying OpenSpec changes by selecting a specific change and driving the apply cycle through guided task execution, which reads context files and updates task progress incrementally.

How does OpenSpec change orchestration handle blocked task states?▼

Change orchestration detects blocked states during task progression and prompts for continuation or escalation, pausing execution gracefully to prevent invalid updates when blockers arise.

Do I need the OpenSpec CLI to track development task progression?▼

Yes, applying changes requires the OpenSpec CLI to validate artifacts, statuses, and task state, ensuring deterministic implementation and traceable progress across your development workflow.

What context files are needed to implement OpenSpec changes incrementally?▼

Incremental implementation reads relevant context files including proposals, specs, design documents, and tasks to understand the schema and apply updates accurately.

Can I use automated change management for tracking proposal statuses in development workflows?▼

Yes, automated change management validates artifact statuses and tracks task progression within development workflows, ensuring consistent execution and reducing manual coordination across tasks.
