FAQPage Schema
How do I automate OpenSpec change management from plan to code?

Automating OpenSpec change management involves guiding change selection, status checks, and iterative task implementation across schemas. It enforces safe, incremental progress with prompts when clarification is needed.

What is the best way to track and apply OpenSpec tasks incrementally?

The best way to apply OpenSpec tasks incrementally is by orchestrating the complete change workflow. This includes interpreting status updates, reading context, and executing tasks with guardrails for audit-friendly, safe progress.

Can I execute OpenSpec changes across multiple schemas automatically?

Yes, you can execute OpenSpec changes across multiple schemas automatically. The workflow orchestrates spec-driven and other schema types, providing structured contextual guidance and enforcing safe task implementation.

How does guided task execution handle status checks and clarification prompts?

Guided task execution handles status checks by interpreting change status and reading context. When clarification is needed during implementation, it prompts the user directly to ensure safe, incremental progress.

Do I need a specific CLI environment to run OpenSpec apply workflows?

You need an environment supporting CLI automation and task-tracking to run OpenSpec apply workflows. Provide the change name to begin the workflow, which handles selection, status interpretation, and structured progress updates.

Why does the OpenSpec apply workflow pause for clarification during task implementation?

The OpenSpec apply workflow pauses for clarification to enforce safe, incremental progress. It provides guardrails during task implementation, ensuring changes align with schemas before proceeding with audit-friendly updates.
