Automating OpenSpec changes involves guiding change selection, running status checks, and executing tasks progressively. The workflow reads context files, makes minimal scoped code changes, and updates task checkpoints dynamically.

Handling blocked states during task execution requires a guided implementation loop that detects design issues, prompts for input, and updates task checkboxes. You can pause, archive, or update artifacts until the blocker resolves.

Dynamic instruction retrieval for progressive implementation works by checking task status and retrieving the next relevant instructions. It tracks progress across multiple artifacts, ensuring minimal, scoped code changes are made step-by-step.

Yes, you can override automated change selection in OpenSpec workflows. The system announces the active change by default but provides flexible options to manually select or pause implementation before executing tasks.

Yes, OpenSpec task execution supports archiving and artifact updates. If design issues arise during implementation, the workflow allows you to pause current tasks and update related artifacts to maintain project consistency.

Using a guided workflow for OpenSpec change management ensures safe, progressive implementation of tasks. It enforces status checks, handles blockers, and makes minimal scoped code changes while updating task checkpoints dynamically.
