SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This capability ensures that OpenSpec change implementations align with their corresponding artifacts (specs, tasks, and design) so teams can archive confidently.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Validate that delta specifications are present and mapped to code changes.
  • Load change artifacts and surface a structured verification report with clear issue taxonomy.
  • Generate actionable recommendations to close gaps before archiving.

Quick Start

Provide a change name and run the verification to generate a results report.

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

Verifying code changes against OpenSpec specifications involves loading change artifacts and evaluating their completeness and correctness. The process generates a structured verification report with clear issue taxonomy and actionable recommendations to close gaps before archiving.

What is the best way to validate delta specifications are present and mapped to code changes?

Validating delta specifications requires a verification workflow that discovers artifacts, checks their status, and confirms they map to code changes. This structured process surfaces any missing mappings and provides clear recommendations for remediation.

How do I generate a structured verification report for OpenSpec change workflows?

Generating a structured verification report for OpenSpec change workflows requires providing a change name to the verification process. It evaluates implementation completeness and correctness, outputting a report with a clear issue taxonomy and remediation recommendations.

Does the OpenSpec verification process check design artifacts and task statuses?

Yes, the OpenSpec verification process checks design artifacts and task statuses by loading all associated change artifacts. It enforces a disciplined process including artifact discovery and status checks to ensure the implementation matches the design.

What should I do when OpenSpec change implementation does not match the associated specs or tasks?

When implementation does not match specs or tasks, the verification report provides actionable recommendations to close gaps. You can use this issue taxonomy to identify missing delta specifications and remediate the discrepancies before archiving.
