To sync delta specs with main project documentation, apply granular updates to existing requirement blocks using intelligent merging. This automatically adds, modifies, or removes specific requirements without manual copy-pasting or wholesale file replacement.

Intelligent merging for requirement specifications is the process of applying delta changes directly to existing specification files. It preserves existing requirements and scenarios while adding new ones, ensuring version control and documentation consistency within the OpenSpec ecosystem.

Yes, you need the openspec CLI installed and configured to synchronize delta specs. The CLI manages local specification repositories and tracks change status, which is required to parse delta files and perform intelligent merges.

Yes, you can update specific requirement blocks without replacing the entire spec file. The skill parses delta files and applies granular updates to additions, modifications, removals, or renames while preserving all other existing requirements in the main specification.

Automate merging new scenarios into main specification files by using the sync specs skill to apply changes from current delta specs. It automatically updates the corresponding main spec file while preserving all other existing requirements and scenarios.

Manual copy-pasting fails for requirement specification updates because it risks overwriting existing requirements and breaking version control. Automating the merge of delta requirement changes ensures documentation consistency and applies granular updates safely to specific requirement blocks.
