SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires openspec-cli, and includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the process of updating main specification files with changes defined in delta specification files, ensuring consistency and reducing manual merging errors.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Intelligent Merging: Applies changes from delta specs to main specs, handling additions, modifications, removals, and renames of requirements.
  • Agent-Driven Operation: Operates autonomously by reading delta specs and directly editing main specs.
  • Use Case: After developing a new feature, you create a delta spec for it. This Skill can then intelligently merge the new requirements into your main spec.md file without requiring you to manually copy-paste or resolve conflicts.

Quick Start

Use the openspec-sync-specs skill to sync changes from the 'new-feature-branch' into the main specs.

FAQPage Schema
How do I merge delta specification files into main specs?

You can merge delta specification files into main specs by using an agent-driven skill that intelligently applies requirement additions, modifications, removals, and renames directly to your main spec.md file.

What is the best way to automate syncing requirements in OpenSpec?

Automating requirements sync in OpenSpec is achieved by autonomously reading delta specs and directly editing main specs, which reduces manual merging errors and ensures consistency across your development workflow.

How do I update main specification files after developing a new feature?

To update main specification files after a new feature, you create a delta spec for the changes, then use an intelligent merging tool to automatically integrate the new requirements without manual copy-pasting.

Do I need the OpenSpec CLI to sync delta specs?

Yes, you need the OpenSpec CLI installed and available in your environment, as it is required for listing and managing the changes before synchronizing the delta specifications into the main files.

Can I use this sync tool to rename requirements across spec files?

Yes, the synchronization process intelligently handles renames of requirements, alongside additions, modifications, and removals, ensuring that structural changes in delta specs accurately reflect in the main specification files.

Why does manually merging OpenSpec requirements cause errors?

Manually merging OpenSpec requirements often causes errors due to copy-paste mistakes and unresolved conflicts, which is why an agent-driven approach that directly edits main specs ensures consistency and accuracy.
