openspec-sync-specs

To merge delta specifications, use this Skill to synchronize change specs into your main OpenSpec specifications. It applies additions, modifications, removals, and renames while keeping the active change unarchived and preserving unaffected requirements.

Specification sync in OpenSpec is the process of aligning approved delta specs with main specifications. You need it when a feature change is complete but should remain active, allowing you to update requirements without manual copying or archiving.

Yes, merging change specs intelligently preserves unmentioned requirements. The synchronization process applies only the added, modified, removed, and renamed elements from the active delta spec, leaving all other existing content in your main specifications intact.

Yes, the OpenSpec CLI is required to synchronize software documentation specs. This Skill relies on the CLI environment to resolve the appropriate OpenSpec change, read its delta specifications, and apply store-aware workflow updates to main specs.

To get a summary of updated capabilities, ask the Skill to sync delta specifications from your selected OpenSpec change into the main specifications. It validates the store-aware workflow and reports which capabilities and requirements were updated.

After a specification merge, the unarchived OpenSpec change remains active. The Skill synchronizes the delta requirements into the corresponding main specifications without archiving, allowing the change to stay available for further modifications.
