openspec-sync-specs

Merging delta specs into main specs applies added, modified, removed, or renamed requirements while preserving unrelated content. This intelligent merging process updates specifications without duplicating existing requirements.

An openspec delta specification contains pending changes stored in openspec/changes. You need to sync it when applying those tracked modifications to your main specifications to update the project requirements.

To apply openspec changes, run the delta-spec syncing workflow in your workspace. It reads delta specs from openspec/changes and merges them into corresponding main specs, prompting for selection when multiple delta changes exist.

Yes, syncing delta specifications requires the openspec CLI context in your workspace. The workflow validates the environment to ensure the necessary CLI setup is present before merging changes.

Yes, delta spec syncing validates changes for idempotence, ensuring safe repeat runs. Running the workflow multiple times applies the same delta changes without causing duplication or corruption.

The best way to handle renamed or removed requirements is using intelligent delta merging, which processes these specific change types to update main specs accurately while preserving unrelated requirements.
