openspec-apply-change

To apply OpenSpec changes, provide the change name to initiate status checks and context reading. The workflow then guides iterative implementation across schemas, tracking progress to drive safe, incremental codebase updates.

Tracking multi-step changes is handled by reading context files and progress data via the openspec CLI. This monitors task state progression, ensuring structured implementation and reducing manual coordination errors.

Iterative implementation works by reading task state and progress data to apply changes incrementally. Built-in safeguards and status checks validate each step, ensuring safe codebase modifications across various schemas.

Yes, the openspec CLI is required to apply changes. It drives guided change selection, executes status checks, and reads the context files necessary for safe, incremental codebase implementation.

Using OpenSpec for change management reduces manual coordination and errors during implementation. It automates status checks and context reading, providing structured validation for incremental updates across complex schemas.

Limitations include dependency on the openspec CLI and readable context files. Without proper task state and progress data, the system cannot drive incremental changes or validate implementation steps safely.
