openspec-apply-change

OpenSpec change orchestration automates task selection, status checks, instruction retrieval, context reading, and progress reporting. It loops through pending tasks iteratively, applying minimal scoped code changes and updating task checkboxes upon completion.

State-aware execution handles blocked, all_done, and in-progress states during OpenSpec change implementation. It provides clear prompts and next-step guidance, ensuring structured, repeatable progression through tasks while managing blockers and ambiguity.

Implementing OpenSpec changes task by task involves looping through pending tasks, applying minimal scoped code changes, and updating task checkboxes. The process retrieves apply instructions and reads context files to perform guarded interactions and structured execution.

Yes, you can continue an in-progress OpenSpec change. The workflow determines the active change, queries its status, and resumes task implementation from pending items, updating progress reports and task checkboxes as each scoped code change completes.

OpenSpec change management handles blockers and ambiguity through guarded interactions during task implementation. It detects blocked states, prompts users with clear next-step guidance, and ensures minimal code changes remain scoped to the active change context.

No, you do not need to provide a change name to start applying OpenSpec tasks. You can provide a change name explicitly or let the tool infer the active change to begin retrieving apply instructions and executing tasks with live progress updates.
