SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill ensures specs exist and are aligned before any implementation begins.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Spec presence validation: Identify if a spec exists for the capability.
  • Active changes awareness: Detect if changes are already in progress.
  • Decision guidance: Directs to proposal or to proceed with implementation per spec.

Quick Start

Run openspec list to view specs, then openspec show [capability] to verify alignment before coding.

FAQPage Schema
How do I check if a spec exists before starting implementation?

Spec validation prevents wasted work on unapproved capabilities. Run openspec list to view available specs, then openspec show [capability] to verify the spec aligns with your implementation plan before coding begins.

What's the best way to align implementation with active spec changes?

Active changes awareness detects if work is already in progress on a capability. openspec-check identifies conflicting changes and guides you to either propose a new spec or proceed with the current one, preventing duplicate or misaligned effort.

Can I use spec validation across different capability areas like frontend and database work?

Yes. openspec-check applies the OpenSpec workflow to algorithm, database, frontend, game-core, edge-functions, and operations capabilities, providing consistent validation across your entire tech stack.

When should I verify spec status—before coding or during code review?

Spec validation works at three points: before starting feature work to establish requirements, during active changes to detect conflicts, and when assessing alignment during code review. Early validation prevents rework.

What does the OpenSpec workflow output, and how do I act on it?

openspec-check reports a single outcome that guides next steps: proceed with implementation using the approved spec, or submit a proposal if no spec exists or changes are needed.
