FAQPage Schema
How do I update a Spectra change from a plan file without losing completed tasks?

To update a Spectra change from a plan file without losing progress, use safe artifact merging to integrate new details while preserving completed tasks. This approach detects the plan source and applies updates within the existing change.

Can I use conversation context to update artifacts in a live Spectra change?

Yes, you can use conversation context to update artifacts in a live Spectra change. The tool detects conversational guidance and merges it into your current change to refine proposals and update progress.

What is the best way to refine a Spectra change with plan-based details?

The best way to refine a Spectra change with plan-based details is by applying context extraction and safe artifact merging. This ensures the change remains consistent with existing proposals while adding new information.

Do I need the spectra CLI to ingest context and update artifacts?

Yes, you need the spectra CLI installed to ingest context and update artifacts. The CLI provides the necessary environment to validate prerequisites, detect sources, and execute safe artifact merging.

Why does my Spectra change update not preserve previously completed tasks?

A Spectra change update might not preserve completed tasks if safe artifact merging is not applied. Ensure your workflow validates prerequisites and uses plan-file detection to maintain progress consistency.
