openspec-verify-change

To verify code changes against specs and design artifacts, run the openspec-verify-change command to correlate implementation files with change artifacts, producing a structured verification report detailing completeness, correctness, and coherence.

OpenSpec change verification is a workflow that ensures traceability across specs, tasks, design artifacts, code, and tests, preventing drift by confirming that a given implementation satisfies the selected change requirements before archiving.

To check if an implementation matches change tasks and design docs, apply the OpenSpec workflow to cross-reference artifacts with code, generating actionable remediation notes with file and line references for any mismatches found.

Spec-validation through this workflow operates independently by analyzing artifact coherence and traceability within the project, generating a structured report without requiring integration of external testing frameworks or dependencies.

The best way to prevent drift before archiving is to automate cross-artifact verification by correlating specs, tasks, and design with code, yielding a report that highlights completeness and provides actionable remediation notes.

Implementation verification reports show coherence errors when the code lacks traceability across the associated spec, task, and design artifacts, requiring you to resolve the flagged file and line references for rapid fixes.
