SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

Implement tasks from an OpenSpec change. Use when the user wants to start implementing, continue implementation, or work through tasks.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill orchestrates the OpenSpec change application workflow by guiding the user through change selection, status checks, instruction retrieval, context reading, and iterative task implementation with guardrails for blocked or completed states.

Core Features & Use Cases

Guided change application workflow: select change, verify status, fetch apply instructions, and read context files.
Incremental task execution: implement tasks one by one with progress tracking and checkbox updates.
Safe operation: handles blocked and all_done states, prompts for clarifications, and supports interleaved artifact updates.

Quick Start

Provide the change name to apply and I will begin by selecting the change, loading its instructions, and starting the task implementation.

FAQPage Schema

How do I implement OpenSpec changes end-to-end?▼

To implement OpenSpec changes end-to-end, you provide a change name. The Skill then orchestrates change selection, loads apply instructions, reads context files, and executes tasks iteratively while tracking progress.

What is the best way to manage task execution for an in-progress OpenSpec change?▼

Managing task execution for an in-progress OpenSpec change involves continuing the workflow by verifying status, fetching remaining instructions, and applying incremental, auditable edits one by one with checkbox updates.

How does OpenSpec handle blocked states during change application?▼

OpenSpec handles blocked states during change application by enforcing safe operation, pausing task execution, and prompting the user for clarifications to resolve ambiguities before proceeding.

Can I apply incremental updates to artifacts while executing OpenSpec tasks?▼

Yes, you can apply incremental updates to artifacts while executing OpenSpec tasks. The Skill supports interleaved artifact updates to ensure changes are applied with minimal, auditable edits.

Do I need any dependencies to run the OpenSpec change application workflow?▼

No dependencies are required to run the OpenSpec change application workflow. The Skill operates independently to guide change selection, status checks, and task execution directly.
