SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Spectra changes frequently require manual coordination and tracking; this Skill automates applying or resuming tasks from a Spectra change, providing a consistent workflow.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Guided change execution: selects a change, marks progress via a markdown tasks file, and updates task checkboxes as work completes.
  • Context-aware execution: fetches apply instructions, reads context files, and respects project settings to drive implementation.
  • Safety and traceability: prevents external task trackers and keeps a single auditable artifact (the tasks file) as the truth source.

Quick Start

Start a spectra-apply session with a target change name to begin applying tasks.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate applying a Spectra change and tracking its tasks?

To automate applying a Spectra change, the Skill selects a change, fetches apply instructions, and tracks progress exclusively via a markdown tasks file. It updates task checkboxes as work completes, providing a consistent workflow without external task trackers.

What is the best way to resume a parked Spectra change task?

To resume a parked Spectra change, the Skill performs status checks and handles parked-change guardrails to safely continue execution. It reads local artifacts and context files to pick up exactly where the task left off.

Does the spectra CLI workflow support a red-green testing cycle for changes?

Yes, the spectra CLI workflow enforces a red-green workflow for implementing each task. This ensures that code changes are driven by failing tests first, then implemented to make them pass before marking the task complete.

How does task tracking work during Spectra-driven workflow automation?

Task tracking during Spectra-driven workflow automation operates exclusively via a markdown tasks file. It prevents external task trackers by keeping this single auditable artifact as the truth source, updating checkboxes as tasks are completed.

Why does my Spectra change workflow prevent using external task trackers?

Spectra change workflows prevent external task trackers to ensure safety and traceability. By relying on a single markdown tasks file as the truth source, the workflow maintains a consistent, auditable artifact for all change progress.
