SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps teams ensure that a given change's implementation aligns with its change artifacts (specs, tasks, and design) before archiving, preventing drift and incomplete work.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Delta-spec validation: checks task completion, spec coverage, and design coherence against delta specs.
  • Artifact-driven verification: uses openspec CLI to load changes, status, and context.
  • Pre-archive safety net: flags critical gaps and provides actionable remediation steps.

Quick Start

Ensure you have the openspec CLI installed and accessible. Run the verification workflow:

  • openspec list --json
  • openspec status --change "<name>" --json
  • openspec instructions apply --change "<name>" --json Review the generated verification report and address any CRITICAL issues before archiving.

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I verify that my implementation matches the specs before archiving a change?▼

Verify implementation alignment with specs by running openspec list, openspec status, and openspec instructions apply commands to load your change artifacts, then review the generated verification report for gaps in task completion, delta-spec coverage, and design coherence before archiving.

What does delta-spec validation check in a change workflow?▼

Delta-spec validation checks task completion status, ensures specs cover all implementation aspects, and validates design coherence across your change lifecycle using openspec CLI to parse and cross-reference artifacts.

Do I need the openspec CLI to use this verification skill?▼

Yes, the openspec CLI is required and must be installed and accessible. The skill parses change artifacts from openspec/changes/<name>/ directories and runs openspec commands to load specs, status, and context for verification.

What happens if critical gaps are found during verification?▼

Critical gaps are flagged in the verification report with actionable remediation steps identifying which specs, tasks, or design elements need completion before you can safely archive the change.

Can I use this skill to prevent incomplete work from being archived?▼

Yes, this skill acts as a pre-archive safety net by validating that your change implementation aligns with all specs, tasks, and design artifacts, preventing drift and incomplete work from entering the archive.
