OpenSpec change implementation automates file discovery by using the OpenSpec CLI to inspect change status, load required context files, and process pending tasks sequentially. You initiate the workflow by name or context, and the system tracks progress by updating task checkboxes as work completes.

A spec-driven workflow uses defined OpenSpec changes to guide code implementation. It checks schema status, loads context files, and follows apply instructions to implement tasks one by one, ensuring development aligns with the specified requirements and tracks progress automatically.

Yes, the OpenSpec CLI is required to automate task implementation. The CLI inspects change status, loads context files, tracks task progress, and updates task checkboxes as work completes within the spec-driven workflow.

Yes, you can continue partial work on an in-progress OpenSpec change. The workflow detects the current status, loads the required context, and resumes implementation by processing remaining pending tasks in order with clear progress updates.

When task implementation encounters blockers or unclear requirements, the workflow pauses execution. This prevents incorrect implementation and allows you to resolve the ambiguity before continuing with the remaining OpenSpec change tasks.
