FAQPage Schema
How do I automate applying an OpenSpec change to my codebase?

You can automate applying an OpenSpec change by reading its artifacts, executing tasks.md sequentially, and updating checkboxes as progress is made. It relies on the openspec CLI to fetch status, instructions, and context files.

What is the OpenSpec change management workflow for task tracking?

The OpenSpec workflow involves reading proposal, design, and spec artifacts, acting on them task-by-task, and updating progress checkboxes to ensure changes are applied consistently and auditably.

Do I need the openspec CLI to apply changes to tasks.md?

Yes, applying OpenSpec changes requires the openspec CLI to fetch status, instructions, and context files. The relevant artifacts must also be present before the workflow can act on them.

Can I resume a partially completed OpenSpec change mid-work?

Yes, you can continue mid-work by selecting the active OpenSpec change and running the apply flow to resume acting on remaining tasks and updating checkboxes.

What are the limitations of automating OpenSpec change application?

This automation applies to a single active change at a time, requires relevant artifacts to be present, and depends on the openspec CLI to fetch context files before acting.
