SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Ensures that a given change's delta specifications (from openspec) are fully implemented in the codebase, and that artifacts such as tasks, specs, and design align before archiving.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Task-completeness checks against tasks.md and delta contexts.
  • Spec coverage verification by comparing delta requirements to code implementations.
  • Optional design and scenario coherence checks when design documents and scenarios exist.
  • Generation of a structured verification report highlighting CRITICAL, WARNING, and SUGGESTION issues with concrete recommendations.

Quick Start

Run the verification workflow for a given change using the openspec-driven instructions apply and review the generated report.

FAQPage Schema
How do I verify that code changes match delta specifications before archiving?

To verify changes match delta specifications, you can run an automated spec coverage check that compares codebase implementations against openspec requirements and outputs a structured report with critical issues and actionable recommendations.

Can I automate task completion checks against tasks.md and delta contexts?

Yes, you can automate task completion checks by comparing tasks.md entries and delta contexts against the actual codebase implementations to identify incomplete or missing task-level requirements before archiving.

What is spec mapping for code review and how does it validate implementation completeness?

Spec mapping for code review is the process of comparing delta requirements directly to code implementations, validating that every requirement is fully covered and generating a structured report highlighting critical warnings and suggestions.

Does spec coverage verification support design coherence and scenario coverage checks?

Spec coverage verification supports optional design coherence and scenario coverage checks, automatically validating alignment when design documents and scenario artifacts exist within the openspec change context.

What is the best way to identify unimplemented delta requirements in a codebase?

The best way to identify unimplemented delta requirements is to run an automated verification workflow that maps openspec delta specifications to code, outputting a structured report with critical, warning, and suggestion issues.

Why do I need to verify change specifications before archiving code?

You need to verify change specifications before archiving to ensure that delta specs are fully implemented in the codebase and that artifacts such as tasks, specs, and design documents align correctly to prevent incomplete changes.
