Applying an OpenSpec change incrementally involves querying the CLI to fetch schema and task progression, reading context files, and proceeding task-by-task while updating checkboxes. It pauses for clarification and handles blocked or completed states automatically.

OpenSpec change management automates workflow implementation by orchestrating changes end-to-end. It discovers changes, assesses status via the CLI, fetches instructions, and guides implementation in a controlled, traceable flow to track incremental progress.

Start by providing the change name or inferring it from conversation context. The system determines the target change, queries the CLI for remaining work, and begins guiding the step-by-step implementation loop.

Yes, the OpenSpec CLI workflow supports pausing and archiving during guided implementation. It adapts to the current change status, providing guidance for pausing when clarification is needed and managing archiving for completed or blocked tasks.

OpenSpec task tracking updates checkboxes by proceeding task-by-task and adapting to the current status. If checkboxes are not updating, ensure the CLI correctly reports the schema and progress, and that blocked states are resolved before proceeding to the next task.
