SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Validate that a code change implements the intended specs and tasks and is coherent before archiving.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Verifies alignment between change artifacts (specs, tasks, and design) and the actual implementation.
  • Generates a structured verification report covering Completeness, Correctness, and Coherence.
  • Integrates with the openspec CLI to load artifacts, apply change context, and produce actionable recommendations.

Quick Start

Run the verification flow for a given change directory using the appropriate verification command.

FAQPage Schema
How do I verify a code change matches its specifications before archiving?

Verifying code changes against specifications involves mapping requirements to source code, tests, and design decisions. This validation flow generates a structured report covering completeness, correctness, and coherence before archiving.

What is change artifact verification in software engineering?

Change artifact verification validates that code changes implement intended specs and tasks. It checks alignment between design deltas and actual implementation to ensure coherence before archiving.

Do I need the openspec CLI to validate change implementation?

Yes, validating change implementation requires the openspec CLI. It needs access to delta specs, context artifacts, and source code to load artifacts, apply change context, and map requirements to code.

How to check if a code change is complete and coherent before archiving?

To check if a code change is complete and coherent before archiving, run a verification flow that validates alignment between change artifacts and implementation. It produces a structured report covering completeness, correctness, and coherence.

What does a structured verification report for code changes include?

A structured verification report for code changes includes assessments of completeness, correctness, and coherence. It maps requirements to code, tests, and design decisions, providing actionable recommendations.

Can I validate design delta and task implementation without manual code review?

You can validate design delta and task implementation without full manual code review by using automated verification. It maps change artifacts to source code and tests to generate a structured coherence report.
