FAQPage Schema
How do I verify that code implementations align with change specifications?

To verify code implementations align with change specifications, you can run automated checks against your change artifacts. This process evaluates task completion, spec coverage, and requirement implementation to ensure development adheres to defined standards before archiving.

What is the best way to check task completion and design adherence before archiving changes?

The best way to check task completion and design adherence is by verifying change implementations against specs, tasks, and design documents. This generates a detailed report categorizing issues as CRITICAL, WARNING, or SUGGESTION with actionable recommendations.

Do I need the openspec CLI to verify change implementation against specs?

Yes, you need the openspec CLI installed. Verifying change implementation against specs requires the openspec CLI and access to change directories and associated artifacts to perform automated compliance and coverage checks.

How do I generate a report for unimplemented user stories and scenario coverage?

You can generate a report for scenario coverage and unimplemented user stories by verifying change implementation against specs. The resulting report categorizes issues by severity, including CRITICAL, WARNING, and SUGGESTION, to guide code review.

When should I run a compliance check on my software development workflows?

You should run a compliance check after completing development for a new feature and before submitting for review. This ensures all user stories are implemented, design decisions are followed, and tasks are marked done before archiving changes.
