SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines the process of implementing an OpenSpec change by guiding an AI assistant through change selection, status checks, context loading, and task execution.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Change Selection: Identifies the correct OpenSpec change from context or available options.
  • Workflow Orchestration: Checks schema status, loads apply instructions, and reads the required context files before work begins.
  • Task Implementation: Iterates through remaining tasks, updates task checkboxes, and pauses cleanly when a blocker or ambiguity appears.
  • Use Case: Use it when you want an assistant to continue an in-progress spec-driven change, finish remaining tasks, or recover from a blocked implementation state.

Quick Start

Ask the skill to apply the relevant OpenSpec change and it will load the tasks, verify the workflow state, and guide implementation step by step.

FAQPage Schema
How do I implement spec-driven changes using OpenSpec?

Spec-driven change management is the process of implementing updates through structured proposal, spec, design, and task artifacts. This Skill orchestrates that workflow by loading context, checking status, and guiding task execution to keep implementation synchronized.

Can I resume an in-progress task implementation if I get blocked?

Yes, you can resume an in-progress task implementation after a blocker. The Skill identifies blocked or partial states, reloads required context files, and pauses cleanly when ambiguity appears, allowing you to recover and continue the spec-driven workflow.

Do I need the openspec CLI to apply change tasks?

Yes, the openspec CLI is required to apply change tasks. The Skill depends on the CLI to read implementation status, load apply instructions, resolve context files, and handle blocked, partial, and complete workflow states.

What is the best way to manage workflow orchestration for spec-driven development?

The best way to manage workflow orchestration for spec-driven development is to automate status checks and context loading. This Skill orchestrates the workflow by reading schema state, resolving context files, and guiding task iteration sequentially.

How does task synchronization work when applying OpenSpec changes?

Task synchronization works by updating task checkboxes as implementation progresses. The Skill iterates through remaining tasks, verifies the workflow state, and keeps implementation progress aligned with the OpenSpec change artifacts.
