FAQPage Schema
How do I validate code changes against design specs and tasks?

To validate code changes against design specs and tasks, compare the implementation with OpenSpec change artifacts. This enforces completeness and coherence checks, returning a structured report with actionable recommendations for any gaps.

What is OpenSpec change verification for software engineering?

OpenSpec change verification is the process of validating that an implementation matches change artifacts across codebases. It enforces completeness, correctness, and coherence checks to ensure code changes align with specifications, tasks, and design artifacts.

How do I generate a verification report for OpenSpec-driven changes?

Generate a verification report for OpenSpec-driven changes by providing the change name and running the validation process. This compares specs, tasks, and design artifacts against code changes to guide archiving decisions with actionable recommendations.

Can I check if my implementation matches specs, tasks, and design artifacts?

Yes, you can check if your implementation matches specs, tasks, and design artifacts by running validation checks. This enforces correctness and coherence, producing a structured report that highlights any divergences between the code and artifacts.

What should I do when code changes diverge from change artifacts?

When code changes diverge from change artifacts, review the structured verification report generated by the validation process. This report provides actionable recommendations to guide archiving decisions and address any gaps or divergences found.

Do I need OpenSpec change artifacts to validate code completeness?

Yes, you need OpenSpec change artifacts including specs, tasks, and design artifacts to validate code completeness. The verification process compares these artifacts against the implementation to enforce completeness, correctness, and coherence checks.
