To merge delta specs into main specs without archiving, use the openspec sync workflow. It reads delta files, locates corresponding main specs, and applies changes intelligently while preserving existing unrelated content.

When a matching main spec is absent, the sync operation automatically creates a new main spec from the delta requirements. This ensures alignment across multiple capabilities without leaving specifications missing.

When multiple deltas exist for the same capability, openspec prompts the user to select the correct change to apply. This interactive selection ensures the intelligent merging rules apply the intended modifications accurately.

Yes, the openspec CLI is required to sync delta specifications into main specs. The intelligent merging workflow depends on this command-line interface to read deltas, locate main specs, and execute the merge operations.

No, syncing delta specs preserves unrelated content already present in your main specs. The intelligent merging rules target only added or modified requirements, ensuring existing unaltered specifications remain intact during the sync.
