Spec-driven change implementation is automated by coordinating change selection, status checks, context retrieval, and iterative task execution until completion. The workflow enforces guardrails and prompts for clarification on ambiguous requirements during each step.

OpenSpec change management tracks task execution through stepwise progress checkpoints and automated status validation. It retrieves context from proposals and design artifacts to guide iterative updates when design questions arise.

To apply an OpenSpec change, request it by name or let the system infer it from conversation context. Follow the interactive prompts to validate status and execute the selected change tasks step by step.

Change artifacts can be updated iteratively if design questions arise during implementation. The workflow reads proposals, specs, and design artifacts to surface actionable guidance before proceeding with task execution.

Automated change management works without manual coordination by enforcing guardrails and prompting for clarification on ambiguous requirements. It ensures deterministic, auditable tracking of OpenSpec changes from selection to completion or pause.

Automated OpenSpec workflows are not ideal when requirements are highly ambiguous and cannot be clarified through interactive prompts. The system enforces guardrails that may pause execution if context retrieval or status validation fails.
