openspec-task-loop

To enforce one-task-at-a-time changes in an OpenSpec workflow, orchestrate single-task loops that isolate work scope, generate required artifacts, and validate completion before archival. This ensures strict task scoping and traceability from planning to completion.

The best way to scaffold proposal, design, tasks, and specs for a single task is using an automated task loop that generates these artifacts systematically. This creates clear traceability and validates completion before archiving the changes.

Yes, you can track OpenSpec task IDs and validate completion without native OPSX commands by using manual scaffolding fallback. This guarantees artifact generation and strict task scoping even when native /opsx commands are unavailable.

Yes, the OpenSpec task loop supports manual fallback for artifact generation. When native OPSX environments are unavailable, it provides a guaranteed scaffold to create proposal, design, tasks, and specs while maintaining strict one-task-at-a-time scoping.

To archive OpenSpec changes after completing a single-task loop, the system validates task completion and archives the changes, updating the parent task. This ensures disciplined traceability as tasks move from planning to completion.

You should use a single-task loop for OpenSpec-driven development when teams need strict task scoping, artifact generation, and verification before archiving. It isolates work to a defined change scope, ensuring clear traceability across native or manual environments.
