SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Ensures that a given change implementation faithfully implements its change artifacts. This reduces the risk of missing requirements and misaligned work before archiving.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Artifact-driven verification across specs, tasks, and design notes via openspec CLI.
  • Produces a structured verification report detailing completeness, correctness, and coherence.
  • Guides archival decisions by highlighting gaps and divergences.

Quick Start

Provide the change name and run verification to confirm that the implementation matches the documented change artifacts.

Frequently Asked Questions about openspec-verify-change

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate code implementations against change artifacts before archiving?▼

You validate implementations against change artifacts by applying structured checks to deltas, specs, and tasks. This enforces artifact loading and status checks to ensure completeness and coherence before archiving.

What is artifact-driven change verification in software engineering?▼

Artifact-driven change verification confirms that a change implementation faithfully matches its documented artifacts. It generates a structured report detailing completeness, correctness, and coherence to guide final archival decisions.

Does openspec verification work with specs, tasks, and design notes?▼

Yes, openspec verification works with specs, tasks, and design notes generated by the openspec CLI. It loads these artifacts and applies status checks to validate completeness, correctness, and coherence.

How do I check spec coverage and coherence for a software delta?▼

You check spec coverage and coherence for a software delta by running a structured verification report against your change artifacts. This highlights gaps and divergences between the implementation and the documented specs.

When should I run change verification on my codebase?▼

Run change verification on your codebase immediately before archiving a change. It enforces artifact loading and status checks to confirm the implementation matches documented artifacts, preventing misaligned work.
