name: "OPSX: Bulk Archive"
description: Archive multiple completed changes at once
category: Workflow
tags: [workflow, archive, experimental, bulk]
---
Archive multiple completed changes in a single operation.
This skill allows you to batch-archive changes, handling spec conflicts intelligently by checking the codebase to determine what's actually implemented.
**Input**: None required (prompts for selection)
**Steps**
1. **Get active changes**
Run `openspec list --json` to get all active changes.
If no active changes exist, inform user and stop.
2. **Prompt for change selection**
Use **AskUserQuestion tool** with multi-select to let user choose changes:
- Show each change with its schema
- Include an option for "All changes"
- Allow any number of selections (1+ works, 2+ is the typical use case)
**IMPORTANT**: Do NOT auto-select. Always let the user choose.
3. **Batch validation - gather status for all selected changes**
For each selected change, collect:
a. **Artifact status** - Run `openspec status --change "<name>" --json`
- Parse `schemaName` and `artifacts` list
- Note which artifacts are `done` vs other states
b. **Task completion** - Read `openspec/changes/<name>/tasks.md`
- Count `- [ ]` (incomplete) vs `- [x]` (complete)
- If no tasks file exists, note as "No tasks"
c. **Delta specs** - Check `openspec/changes/<name>/specs/` directory
- List which capability specs exist
- For each, extract requirement names (lines matching `### Requirement: <name>`)
4. **Detect spec conflicts**
Build a map of `capability -> [changes that touch it]`:
```
auth -> [change-a, change-b] <- CONFLICT (2+ changes)
api -> [change-c] <- OK (only 1 change)
```
A conflict exists when 2+ selected changes have delta specs for the same capability.
5. **Resolve conflicts agentically**
**For each conflict**, investigate the codebase:
a. **Read the delta specs** from each conflicting change to understand what each claims to add/modify
b. **Search the codebase** for implementation evidence:
- Look for code implementing requirements from each delta spec
- Check for related files, functions, or tests
c. **Determine resolution**:
- If only one change is actually implemented -> sync that one's specs
- If both implemented -> apply in chronological order (older first, newer overwrites)
- If neither implemented -> skip spec sync, warn user
d. **Record resolution** for each conflict:
- Which change's specs to apply
- In what order (if both)
- Rationale (what was found in codebase)
6. **Show consolidated status table**
Display a table summarizing all changes:
```
| Change | Artifacts | Tasks | Specs | Conflicts | Status |
|---------------------|-----------|-------|---------|-----------|--------|
| schema-management | Done | 5/5 | 2 delta | None | Ready |
| project-config | Done | 3/3 | 1 delta | None | Ready |
| add-oauth | Done | 4/4 | 1 delta | auth (!) | Ready* |
| add-verify-skill | 1 left | 2/5 | None | None | Warn |
```
For conflicts, show the resolution:
```
* Conflict resolution:
- auth spec: Will apply add-oauth then add-jwt (both implemented, chronological order)
```
For incomplete changes, show warnings:
```
Warnings:
- add-verify-skill: 1 incomplete artifact, 3 incomplete tasks
```
7. **Confirm batch operation**
Use **AskUserQuestion tool** with a single confirmation:
- "Archive N changes?" with options based on status
- Options might include:
- "Archive all N changes"
- "Archive only N ready changes (skip incomplete)"
- "Cancel"
If there are incomplete changes, make clear they'll be archived with warnings.
8. **Execute archive for each confirmed change**
Process changes in the determined order (respecting conflict resolution):
a. **Sync specs** if delta specs exist:
- Use the openspec-sync-specs approach (agent-driven intelligent merge)
- For conflicts, apply in resolved order
- Track if sync was done
b. **Perform the archive**:
```bash
mkdir -p openspec/changes/archive
mv openspec/changes/<name> openspec/changes/archive/YYYY-MM-DD-<name>
```
c. **Track outcome** for each change:
- Success: archived successfully
- Failed: error during archive (record error)
- Skipped: user chose not to archive (if applicable)
9. **Display summary**
Show final results:
```
## Bulk Archive Complete
Archived 3 changes:
- schema-management-cli -> archive/2026-01-19-schema-management-cli/
- project-config -> archive/2026-01-19-project-config/
- add-oauth -> archive/2026-01-19-add-oauth/
Skipped 1 change:
- add-verify-skill (user chose not to archive incomplete)
Spec sync summary:
- 4 delta specs synced to main specs
- 1 conflict resolved (auth: applied both in chronological order)
```
If any failures:
```
Failed 1 change:
- some-change: Archive directory already exists
```
**Conflict Resolution Examples**
Example 1: Only one implemented
```
Conflict: specs/auth/spec.md touched by [add-oauth, add-jwt]
Checking add-oauth:
- Delta adds "OAuth Provider Integration" requirement
- Searching codebase... found src/auth/oauth.ts implementing OAuth flow
Checking add-jwt:
- Delta adds "JWT Token Handling" requirement
- Searching codebase... no JWT implementation found
Resolution: Only add-oauth is implemented. Will sync add-oauth specs only.
```
Example 2: Both implemented
```
Conflict: specs/api/spec.md touched by [add-rest-api, add-graphql]
Checking add-rest-api (created 2026-01-10):
- Delta adds "REST Endpoints" requirement
- Searching codebase... found src/api/rest.ts
Checking add-graphql (created 2026-01-15):
- Delta adds "GraphQL Schema" requirement
- Searching codebase... found src/api/graphql.ts
Resolution: Both implemented. Will apply add-rest-api specs first,
then add-graphql specs (chronological order, newer takes precedence).
```
**Output On Success**
```
## Bulk Archive Complete
Archived N changes:
- <change-1> -> archive/YYYY-MM-DD-<change-1>/
- <change-2> -> archive/YYYY-MM-DD-<change-2>/
Spec sync summary:
- N delta specs synced to main specs
- No conflicts (or: M conflicts resolved)
```
**Output On Partial Success**
```
## Bulk Archive Complete (partial)
Archived N changes:
- <change-1> -> archive/YYYY-MM-DD-<change-1>/
Skipped M changes:
- <change-2> (user chose not to archive incomplete)
Failed K changes:
- <change-3>: Archive directory already exists
```
**Output When No Changes**
```
## No Changes to Archive
No active changes found. Create a new change to get started.
```
**Guardrails**
- Allow any number of changes (1+ is fine, 2+ is the typical use case)
- Always prompt for selection, never auto-select
- Detect spec conflicts early and resolve by checking codebase
- When both changes are implemented, apply specs in chronological order
- Skip spec sync only when implementation is missing (warn user)
- Show clear per-change status before confirming
- Use single confirmation for entire batch
- Track and report all outcomes (success/skip/fail)
- Preserve .openspec.yaml when moving to archive
- Archive directory target uses current date: YYYY-MM-DD-<name>
- If archive target exists, fail that change but continue with others

name: "OPSX: Continue"
description: Continue working on a change - create the next artifact (Experimental)
category: Workflow
tags: [workflow, artifacts, experimental]
---
Continue working on a change by creating the next artifact.
**Input**: Optionally specify a change name after `/opsx:continue` (e.g., `/opsx:continue add-auth`). If omitted, check if it can be inferred from conversation context. If vague or ambiguous you MUST prompt for available changes.
**Steps**
1. **If no change name provided, prompt for selection**
Run `openspec list --json` to get available changes sorted by most recently modified. Then use the **AskUserQuestion tool** to let the user select which change to work on.
Present the top 3-4 most recently modified changes as options, showing:
- Change name
- Schema (from `schema` field if present, otherwise "spec-driven")
- Status (e.g., "0/5 tasks", "complete", "no tasks")
- How recently it was modified (from `lastModified` field)
Mark the most recently modified change as "(Recommended)" since it's likely what the user wants to continue.
**IMPORTANT**: Do NOT guess or auto-select a change. Always let the user choose.
2. **Check current status**
```bash
openspec status --change "<name>" --json
```
Parse the JSON to understand current state. The response includes:
- `schemaName`: The workflow schema being used (e.g., "spec-driven")
- `artifacts`: Array of artifacts with their status ("done", "ready", "blocked")
- `isComplete`: Boolean indicating if all artifacts are complete
3. **Act based on status**:
---
**If all artifacts are complete (`isComplete: true`)**:
- Congratulate the user
- Show final status including the schema used
- Suggest: "All artifacts created! You can now implement this change with `/opsx:apply` or archive it with `/opsx:archive`."
- STOP
---
**If artifacts are ready to create** (status shows artifacts with `status: "ready"`):
- Pick the FIRST artifact with `status: "ready"` from the status output
- Get its instructions:
```bash
openspec instructions <artifact-id> --change "<name>" --json
```
- Parse the JSON. The key fields are:
- `context`: Project background (constraints for you - do NOT include in output)
- `rules`: Artifact-specific rules (constraints for you - do NOT include in output)
- `template`: The structure to use for your output file
- `instruction`: Schema-specific guidance
- `outputPath`: Where to write the artifact
- `dependencies`: Completed artifacts to read for context
- **Create the artifact file**:
- Read any completed dependency files for context
- Use `template` as the structure - fill in its sections
- Apply `context` and `rules` as constraints when writing - but do NOT copy them into the file
- Write to the output path specified in instructions
- Show what was created and what's now unlocked
- STOP after creating ONE artifact
---
**If no artifacts are ready (all blocked)**:
- This shouldn't happen with a valid schema
- Show status and suggest checking for issues
4. **After creating an artifact, show progress**
```bash
openspec status --change "<name>"
```
**Output**
After each invocation, show:
- Which artifact was created
- Schema workflow being used
- Current progress (N/M complete)
- What artifacts are now unlocked
- Prompt: "Run `/opsx:continue` to create the next artifact"
**Artifact Creation Guidelines**
The artifact types and their purpose depend on the schema. Use the `instruction` field from the instructions output to understand what to create.
Common artifact patterns:
**spec-driven schema** (proposal → specs → design → tasks):
- **proposal.md**: Ask user about the change if not clear. Fill in Why, What Changes, Capabilities, Impact.
- The Capabilities section is critical - each capability listed will need a spec file.
- **specs/<capability>/spec.md**: Create one spec per capability listed in the proposal's Capabilities section (use the capability name, not the change name).
- **design.md**: Document technical decisions, architecture, and implementation approach.
- **tasks.md**: Break down implementation into checkboxed tasks.
For other schemas, follow the `instruction` field from the CLI output.
**Guardrails**
- Create ONE artifact per invocation
- Always read dependency artifacts before creating a new one
- Never skip artifacts or create out of order
- If context is unclear, ask the user before creating
- Verify the artifact file exists after writing before marking progress
- Use the schema's artifact sequence, don't assume specific artifact names
- **IMPORTANT**: `context` and `rules` are constraints for YOU, not content for the file
- Do NOT copy `<context>`, `<rules>`, `<project_context>` blocks into the artifact
- These guide what you write, but should never appear in the output

name: "OPSX: Fast Forward"
description: Create a change and generate all artifacts needed for implementation in one go
category: Workflow
tags: [workflow, artifacts, experimental]
---
Fast-forward through artifact creation - generate everything needed to start implementation.
**Input**: The argument after `/opsx:ff` is the change name (kebab-case), OR a description of what the user wants to build.
**Steps**
1. **If no input provided, ask what they want to build**
Use the **AskUserQuestion tool** (open-ended, no preset options) to ask:
> "What change do you want to work on? Describe what you want to build or fix."
From their description, derive a kebab-case name (e.g., "add user authentication" → `add-user-auth`).
**IMPORTANT**: Do NOT proceed without understanding what the user wants to build.
2. **Create the change directory**
```bash
openspec new change "<name>"
```
This creates a scaffolded change at `openspec/changes/<name>/`.
3. **Get the artifact build order**
```bash
openspec status --change "<name>" --json
```
Parse the JSON to get:
- `applyRequires`: array of artifact IDs needed before implementation (e.g., `["tasks"]`)
- `artifacts`: list of all artifacts with their status and dependencies
4. **Create artifacts in sequence until apply-ready**
Use the **TodoWrite tool** to track progress through the artifacts.
Loop through artifacts in dependency order (artifacts with no pending dependencies first):
a. **For each artifact that is `ready` (dependencies satisfied)**:
- Get instructions:
```bash
openspec instructions <artifact-id> --change "<name>" --json
```
- The instructions JSON includes:
- `context`: Project background (constraints for you - do NOT include in output)
- `rules`: Artifact-specific rules (constraints for you - do NOT include in output)
- `template`: The structure to use for your output file
- `instruction`: Schema-specific guidance for this artifact type
- `outputPath`: Where to write the artifact
- `dependencies`: Completed artifacts to read for context
- Read any completed dependency files for context
- Create the artifact file using `template` as the structure
- Apply `context` and `rules` as constraints - but do NOT copy them into the file
- Show brief progress: "✓ Created <artifact-id>"
b. **Continue until all `applyRequires` artifacts are complete**
- After creating each artifact, re-run `openspec status --change "<name>" --json`
- Check if every artifact ID in `applyRequires` has `status: "done"` in the artifacts array
- Stop when all `applyRequires` artifacts are done
c. **If an artifact requires user input** (unclear context):
- Use **AskUserQuestion tool** to clarify
- Then continue with creation
5. **Show final status**
```bash
openspec status --change "<name>"
```
**Output**
After completing all artifacts, summarize:
- Change name and location
- List of artifacts created with brief descriptions
- What's ready: "All artifacts created! Ready for implementation."
- Prompt: "Run `/opsx:apply` to start implementing."
**Artifact Creation Guidelines**
- Follow the `instruction` field from `openspec instructions` for each artifact type
- The schema defines what each artifact should contain - follow it
- Read dependency artifacts for context before creating new ones
- Use `template` as the structure for your output file - fill in its sections
- **IMPORTANT**: `context` and `rules` are constraints for YOU, not content for the file
- Do NOT copy `<context>`, `<rules>`, `<project_context>` blocks into the artifact
- These guide what you write, but should never appear in the output
**Guardrails**
- Create ALL artifacts needed for implementation (as defined by schema's `apply.requires`)
- Always read dependency artifacts before creating a new one
- If context is critically unclear, ask the user - but prefer making reasonable decisions to keep momentum
- If a change with that name already exists, ask if user wants to continue it or create a new one
- Verify each artifact file exists after writing before proceeding to next

name: "OPSX: New"
description: Start a new change using the experimental artifact workflow (OPSX)
category: Workflow
tags: [workflow, artifacts, experimental]
---
Start a new change using the experimental artifact-driven approach.
**Input**: The argument after `/opsx:new` is the change name (kebab-case), OR a description of what the user wants to build.
**Steps**
1. **If no input provided, ask what they want to build**
Use the **AskUserQuestion tool** (open-ended, no preset options) to ask:
> "What change do you want to work on? Describe what you want to build or fix."
From their description, derive a kebab-case name (e.g., "add user authentication" → `add-user-auth`).
**IMPORTANT**: Do NOT proceed without understanding what the user wants to build.
2. **Determine the workflow schema**
Use the default schema (omit `--schema`) unless the user explicitly requests a different workflow.
**Use a different schema only if the user mentions:**
- A specific schema name → use `--schema <name>`
- "show workflows" or "what workflows" → run `openspec schemas --json` and let them choose
**Otherwise**: Omit `--schema` to use the default.
3. **Create the change directory**
```bash
openspec new change "<name>"
```
Add `--schema <name>` only if the user requested a specific workflow.
This creates a scaffolded change at `openspec/changes/<name>/` with the selected schema.
4. **Show the artifact status**
```bash
openspec status --change "<name>"
```
This shows which artifacts need to be created and which are ready (dependencies satisfied).
5. **Get instructions for the first artifact**
The first artifact depends on the schema. Check the status output to find the first artifact with status "ready".
```bash
openspec instructions <first-artifact-id> --change "<name>"
```
This outputs the template and context for creating the first artifact.
6. **STOP and wait for user direction**
**Output**
After completing the steps, summarize:
- Change name and location
- Schema/workflow being used and its artifact sequence
- Current status (0/N artifacts complete)
- The template for the first artifact
- Prompt: "Ready to create the first artifact? Run `/opsx:continue` or just describe what this change is about and I'll draft it."
**Guardrails**
- Do NOT create any artifacts yet - just show the instructions
- Do NOT advance beyond showing the first artifact template
- If the name is invalid (not kebab-case), ask for a valid name
- If a change with that name already exists, suggest using `/opsx:continue` instead
- Pass --schema if using a non-default workflow

name: "OPSX: Onboard"
description: Guided onboarding - walk through a complete OpenSpec workflow cycle with narration
category: Workflow
tags: [workflow, onboarding, tutorial, learning]
---
Guide the user through their first complete OpenSpec workflow cycle. This is a teaching experience—you'll do real work in their codebase while explaining each step.
---
## Preflight
Before starting, check if the OpenSpec CLI is installed:
```bash
# Unix/macOS
openspec --version 2>&1 || echo "CLI_NOT_INSTALLED"
# Windows (PowerShell)
# if (Get-Command openspec -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue) { openspec --version } else { echo "CLI_NOT_INSTALLED" }
```
**If CLI not installed:**
> OpenSpec CLI is not installed. Install it first, then come back to `/opsx:onboard`.
Stop here if not installed.
---
## Phase 1: Welcome
Display:
```
## Welcome to OpenSpec!
I'll walk you through a complete change cycle—from idea to implementation—using a real task in your codebase. Along the way, you'll learn the workflow by doing it.
**What we'll do:**
1. Pick a small, real task in your codebase
2. Explore the problem briefly
3. Create a change (the container for our work)
4. Build the artifacts: proposal → specs → design → tasks
5. Implement the tasks
6. Archive the completed change
**Time:** ~15-20 minutes
Let's start by finding something to work on.
```
---
## Phase 2: Task Selection
### Codebase Analysis
Scan the codebase for small improvement opportunities. Look for:
1. **TODO/FIXME comments** - Search for `TODO`, `FIXME`, `HACK`, `XXX` in code files
2. **Missing error handling** - `catch` blocks that swallow errors, risky operations without try-catch
3. **Functions without tests** - Cross-reference `src/` with test directories
4. **Type issues** - `any` types in TypeScript files (`: any`, `as any`)
5. **Debug artifacts** - `console.log`, `console.debug`, `debugger` statements in non-debug code
6. **Missing validation** - User input handlers without validation
Also check recent git activity:
```bash
# Unix/macOS
git log --oneline -10 2>/dev/null || echo "No git history"
# Windows (PowerShell)
# git log --oneline -10 2>$null; if ($LASTEXITCODE -ne 0) { echo "No git history" }
```
### Present Suggestions
From your analysis, present 3-4 specific suggestions:
```
## Task Suggestions
Based on scanning your codebase, here are some good starter tasks:
**1. [Most promising task]**
Location: `src/path/to/file.ts:42`
Scope: ~1-2 files, ~20-30 lines
Why it's good: [brief reason]
**2. [Second task]**
Location: `src/another/file.ts`
Scope: ~1 file, ~15 lines
Why it's good: [brief reason]
**3. [Third task]**
Location: [location]
Scope: [estimate]
Why it's good: [brief reason]
**4. Something else?**
Tell me what you'd like to work on.
Which task interests you? (Pick a number or describe your own)
```
**If nothing found:** Fall back to asking what the user wants to build:
> I didn't find obvious quick wins in your codebase. What's something small you've been meaning to add or fix?
### Scope Guardrail
If the user picks or describes something too large (major feature, multi-day work):
```
That's a valuable task, but it's probably larger than ideal for your first OpenSpec run-through.
For learning the workflow, smaller is better—it lets you see the full cycle without getting stuck in implementation details.
**Options:**
1. **Slice it smaller** - What's the smallest useful piece of [their task]? Maybe just [specific slice]?
2. **Pick something else** - One of the other suggestions, or a different small task?
3. **Do it anyway** - If you really want to tackle this, we can. Just know it'll take longer.
What would you prefer?
```
Let the user override if they insist—this is a soft guardrail.
---
## Phase 3: Explore Demo
Once a task is selected, briefly demonstrate explore mode:
```
Before we create a change, let me quickly show you **explore mode**—it's how you think through problems before committing to a direction.
```
Spend 1-2 minutes investigating the relevant code:
- Read the file(s) involved
- Draw a quick ASCII diagram if it helps
- Note any considerations
```
## Quick Exploration
[Your brief analysis—what you found, any considerations]
┌─────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ [Optional: ASCII diagram if helpful] │
└─────────────────────────────────────────┘
Explore mode (`/opsx:explore`) is for this kind of thinking—investigating before implementing. You can use it anytime you need to think through a problem.
Now let's create a change to hold our work.
```
**PAUSE** - Wait for user acknowledgment before proceeding.
---
## Phase 4: Create the Change
**EXPLAIN:**
```
## Creating a Change
A "change" in OpenSpec is a container for all the thinking and planning around a piece of work. It lives in `openspec/changes/<name>/` and holds your artifacts—proposal, specs, design, tasks.
Let me create one for our task.
```
**DO:** Create the change with a derived kebab-case name:
```bash
openspec new change "<derived-name>"
```
**SHOW:**
```
Created: `openspec/changes/<name>/`
The folder structure:
```
openspec/changes/<name>/
├── proposal.md ← Why we're doing this (empty, we'll fill it)
├── design.md ← How we'll build it (empty)
├── specs/ ← Detailed requirements (empty)
└── tasks.md ← Implementation checklist (empty)
```
Now let's fill in the first artifact—the proposal.
```
---
## Phase 5: Proposal
**EXPLAIN:**
```
## The Proposal
The proposal captures **why** we're making this change and **what** it involves at a high level. It's the "elevator pitch" for the work.
I'll draft one based on our task.
```
**DO:** Draft the proposal content (don't save yet):
```
Here's a draft proposal:
---
## Why
[1-2 sentences explaining the problem/opportunity]
## What Changes
[Bullet points of what will be different]
## Capabilities
### New Capabilities
- `<capability-name>`: [brief description]
### Modified Capabilities
<!-- If modifying existing behavior -->
## Impact
- `src/path/to/file.ts`: [what changes]
- [other files if applicable]
---
Does this capture the intent? I can adjust before we save it.
```
**PAUSE** - Wait for user approval/feedback.
After approval, save the proposal:
```bash
openspec instructions proposal --change "<name>" --json
```
Then write the content to `openspec/changes/<name>/proposal.md`.
```
Proposal saved. This is your "why" document—you can always come back and refine it as understanding evolves.
Next up: specs.
```
---
## Phase 6: Specs
**EXPLAIN:**
```
## Specs
Specs define **what** we're building in precise, testable terms. They use a requirement/scenario format that makes expected behavior crystal clear.
For a small task like this, we might only need one spec file.
```
**DO:** Create the spec file:
```bash
# Unix/macOS
mkdir -p openspec/changes/<name>/specs/<capability-name>
# Windows (PowerShell)
# New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force -Path "openspec/changes/<name>/specs/<capability-name>"
```
Draft the spec content:
```
Here's the spec:
---
## ADDED Requirements
### Requirement: <Name>
<Description of what the system should do>
#### Scenario: <Scenario name>
- **WHEN** <trigger condition>
- **THEN** <expected outcome>
- **AND** <additional outcome if needed>
---
This format—WHEN/THEN/AND—makes requirements testable. You can literally read them as test cases.
```
Save to `openspec/changes/<name>/specs/<capability>/spec.md`.
---
## Phase 7: Design
**EXPLAIN:**
```
## Design
The design captures **how** we'll build it—technical decisions, tradeoffs, approach.
For small changes, this might be brief. That's fine—not every change needs deep design discussion.
```
**DO:** Draft design.md:
```
Here's the design:
---
## Context
[Brief context about the current state]
## Goals / Non-Goals
**Goals:**
- [What we're trying to achieve]
**Non-Goals:**
- [What's explicitly out of scope]
## Decisions
### Decision 1: [Key decision]
[Explanation of approach and rationale]
---
For a small task, this captures the key decisions without over-engineering.
```
Save to `openspec/changes/<name>/design.md`.
---
## Phase 8: Tasks
**EXPLAIN:**
```
## Tasks
Finally, we break the work into implementation tasks—checkboxes that drive the apply phase.
These should be small, clear, and in logical order.
```
**DO:** Generate tasks based on specs and design:
```
Here are the implementation tasks:
---
## 1. [Category or file]
- [ ] 1.1 [Specific task]
- [ ] 1.2 [Specific task]
## 2. Verify
- [ ] 2.1 [Verification step]
---
Each checkbox becomes a unit of work in the apply phase. Ready to implement?
```
**PAUSE** - Wait for user to confirm they're ready to implement.
Save to `openspec/changes/<name>/tasks.md`.
---
## Phase 9: Apply (Implementation)
**EXPLAIN:**
```
## Implementation
Now we implement each task, checking them off as we go. I'll announce each one and occasionally note how the specs/design informed the approach.
```
**DO:** For each task:
1. Announce: "Working on task N: [description]"
2. Implement the change in the codebase
3. Reference specs/design naturally: "The spec says X, so I'm doing Y"
4. Mark complete in tasks.md: `- [ ]``- [x]`
5. Brief status: "✓ Task N complete"
Keep narration light—don't over-explain every line of code.
After all tasks:
```
## Implementation Complete
All tasks done:
- [x] Task 1
- [x] Task 2
- [x] ...
The change is implemented! One more step—let's archive it.
```
---
## Phase 10: Archive
**EXPLAIN:**
```
## Archiving
When a change is complete, we archive it. This moves it from `openspec/changes/` to `openspec/changes/archive/YYYY-MM-DD-<name>/`.
Archived changes become your project's decision history—you can always find them later to understand why something was built a certain way.
```
**DO:**
```bash
openspec archive "<name>"
```

## Phase 11: Recap & Next Steps
```
## Congratulations!
You just completed a full OpenSpec cycle:
1. **Explore** - Thought through the problem
2. **New** - Created a change container
3. **Proposal** - Captured WHY
4. **Specs** - Defined WHAT in detail
5. **Design** - Decided HOW
6. **Tasks** - Broke it into steps
7. **Apply** - Implemented the work
8. **Archive** - Preserved the record
This same rhythm works for any size change—a small fix or a major feature.

## Command Reference
**Core workflow:**
| Command | What it does |
|---------|--------------|
| `/opsx:propose` | Create a change and generate all artifacts |
| `/opsx:explore` | Think through problems before/during work |
| `/opsx:apply` | Implement tasks from a change |
| `/opsx:archive` | Archive a completed change |
**Additional commands:**
| Command | What it does |
|---------|--------------|
| `/opsx:new` | Start a new change, step through artifacts one at a time |
| `/opsx:continue` | Continue working on an existing change |
| `/opsx:ff` | Fast-forward: create all artifacts at once |
| `/opsx:verify` | Verify implementation matches artifacts |
---
## What's Next?
Try `/opsx:propose` on something you actually want to build. You've got the rhythm now!
```
---
## Graceful Exit Handling
### User wants to stop mid-way
If the user says they need to stop, want to pause, or seem disengaged:
```
No problem! Your change is saved at `openspec/changes/<name>/`.
To pick up where we left off later:
- `/opsx:continue <name>` - Resume artifact creation
- `/opsx:apply <name>` - Jump to implementation (if tasks exist)
The work won't be lost. Come back whenever you're ready.
```
Exit gracefully without pressure.
### User just wants command reference
If the user says they just want to see the commands or skip the tutorial:
```
## OpenSpec Quick Reference
**Core workflow:**
| Command | What it does |
|---------|--------------|
| `/opsx:propose <name>` | Create a change and generate all artifacts |
| `/opsx:explore` | Think through problems (no code changes) |
| `/opsx:apply <name>` | Implement tasks |
| `/opsx:archive <name>` | Archive when done |
**Additional commands:**
| Command | What it does |
|---------|--------------|
| `/opsx:new <name>` | Start a new change, step by step |
| `/opsx:continue <name>` | Continue an existing change |
| `/opsx:ff <name>` | Fast-forward: all artifacts at once |
| `/opsx:verify <name>` | Verify implementation |
Try `/opsx:propose` to start your first change.
```
Exit gracefully.
---
## Guardrails
- **Follow the EXPLAIN → DO → SHOW → PAUSE pattern** at key transitions (after explore, after proposal draft, after tasks, after archive)
- **Keep narration light** during implementation—teach without lecturing
- **Don't skip phases** even if the change is small—the goal is teaching the workflow
- **Pause for acknowledgment** at marked points, but don't over-pause
- **Handle exits gracefully**—never pressure the user to continue
- **Use real codebase tasks**—don't simulate or use fake examples
- **Adjust scope gently**—guide toward smaller tasks but respect user choice

name: "OPSX: Sync"
description: Sync delta specs from a change to main specs
category: Workflow
tags: [workflow, specs, experimental]
---
Sync delta specs from a change to main specs.
This is an **agent-driven** operation - you will read delta specs and directly edit main specs to apply the changes. This allows intelligent merging (e.g., adding a scenario without copying the entire requirement).
**Input**: Optionally specify a change name after `/opsx:sync` (e.g., `/opsx:sync add-auth`). If omitted, check if it can be inferred from conversation context. If vague or ambiguous you MUST prompt for available changes.
**Steps**
1. **If no change name provided, prompt for selection**
Run `openspec list --json` to get available changes. Use the **AskUserQuestion tool** to let the user select.
Show changes that have delta specs (under `specs/` directory).
**IMPORTANT**: Do NOT guess or auto-select a change. Always let the user choose.
2. **Find delta specs**
Look for delta spec files in `openspec/changes/<name>/specs/*/spec.md`.
Each delta spec file contains sections like:
- `## ADDED Requirements` - New requirements to add
- `## MODIFIED Requirements` - Changes to existing requirements
- `## REMOVED Requirements` - Requirements to remove
- `## RENAMED Requirements` - Requirements to rename (FROM:/TO: format)
If no delta specs found, inform user and stop.
3. **For each delta spec, apply changes to main specs**
For each capability with a delta spec at `openspec/changes/<name>/specs/<capability>/spec.md`:
a. **Read the delta spec** to understand the intended changes
b. **Read the main spec** at `openspec/specs/<capability>/spec.md` (may not exist yet)
c. **Apply changes intelligently**:
**ADDED Requirements:**
- If requirement doesn't exist in main spec → add it
- If requirement already exists → update it to match (treat as implicit MODIFIED)
**MODIFIED Requirements:**
- Find the requirement in main spec
- Apply the changes - this can be:
- Adding new scenarios (don't need to copy existing ones)
- Modifying existing scenarios
- Changing the requirement description
- Preserve scenarios/content not mentioned in the delta
**REMOVED Requirements:**
- Remove the entire requirement block from main spec
**RENAMED Requirements:**
- Find the FROM requirement, rename to TO
d. **Create new main spec** if capability doesn't exist yet:
- Create `openspec/specs/<capability>/spec.md`
- Add Purpose section (can be brief, mark as TBD)
- Add Requirements section with the ADDED requirements
4. **Show summary**
After applying all changes, summarize:
- Which capabilities were updated
- What changes were made (requirements added/modified/removed/renamed)
**Delta Spec Format Reference**
```markdown
## ADDED Requirements
### Requirement: New Feature
The system SHALL do something new.
#### Scenario: Basic case
- **WHEN** user does X
- **THEN** system does Y
## MODIFIED Requirements
### Requirement: Existing Feature
#### Scenario: New scenario to add
- **WHEN** user does A
- **THEN** system does B
## REMOVED Requirements
### Requirement: Deprecated Feature
## RENAMED Requirements
- FROM: `### Requirement: Old Name`
- TO: `### Requirement: New Name`
```
**Key Principle: Intelligent Merging**
Unlike programmatic merging, you can apply **partial updates**:
- To add a scenario, just include that scenario under MODIFIED - don't copy existing scenarios
- The delta represents *intent*, not a wholesale replacement
- Use your judgment to merge changes sensibly
**Output On Success**
```
## Specs Synced: <change-name>
Updated main specs:
**<capability-1>**:
- Added requirement: "New Feature"
- Modified requirement: "Existing Feature" (added 1 scenario)
**<capability-2>**:
- Created new spec file
- Added requirement: "Another Feature"
Main specs are now updated. The change remains active - archive when implementation is complete.
```
**Guardrails**
- Read both delta and main specs before making changes
- Preserve existing content not mentioned in delta
- If something is unclear, ask for clarification
- Show what you're changing as you go
- The operation should be idempotent - running twice should give same result

name: "OPSX: Verify"
description: Verify implementation matches change artifacts before archiving
category: Workflow
tags: [workflow, verify, experimental]
---
Verify that an implementation matches the change artifacts (specs, tasks, design).
**Input**: Optionally specify a change name after `/opsx:verify` (e.g., `/opsx:verify add-auth`). If omitted, check if it can be inferred from conversation context. If vague or ambiguous you MUST prompt for available changes.
**Steps**
1. **If no change name provided, prompt for selection**
Run `openspec list --json` to get available changes. Use the **AskUserQuestion tool** to let the user select.
Show changes that have implementation tasks (tasks artifact exists).
Include the schema used for each change if available.
Mark changes with incomplete tasks as "(In Progress)".
**IMPORTANT**: Do NOT guess or auto-select a change. Always let the user choose.
2. **Check status to understand the schema**
```bash
openspec status --change "<name>" --json
```
Parse the JSON to understand:
- `schemaName`: The workflow being used (e.g., "spec-driven")
- Which artifacts exist for this change
3. **Get the change directory and load artifacts**
```bash
openspec instructions apply --change "<name>" --json
```
This returns the change directory and context files. Read all available artifacts from `contextFiles`.
4. **Initialize verification report structure**
Create a report structure with three dimensions:
- **Completeness**: Track tasks and spec coverage
- **Correctness**: Track requirement implementation and scenario coverage
- **Coherence**: Track design adherence and pattern consistency
Each dimension can have CRITICAL, WARNING, or SUGGESTION issues.
5. **Verify Completeness**
**Task Completion**:
- If tasks.md exists in contextFiles, read it
- Parse checkboxes: `- [ ]` (incomplete) vs `- [x]` (complete)
- Count complete vs total tasks
- If incomplete tasks exist:
- Add CRITICAL issue for each incomplete task
- Recommendation: "Complete task: <description>" or "Mark as done if already implemented"
**Spec Coverage**:
- If delta specs exist in `openspec/changes/<name>/specs/`:
- Extract all requirements (marked with "### Requirement:")
- For each requirement:
- Search codebase for keywords related to the requirement
- Assess if implementation likely exists
- If requirements appear unimplemented:
- Add CRITICAL issue: "Requirement not found: <requirement name>"
- Recommendation: "Implement requirement X: <description>"
6. **Verify Correctness**
**Requirement Implementation Mapping**:
- For each requirement from delta specs:
- Search codebase for implementation evidence
- If found, note file paths and line ranges
- Assess if implementation matches requirement intent
- If divergence detected:
- Add WARNING: "Implementation may diverge from spec: <details>"
- Recommendation: "Review <file>:<lines> against requirement X"
**Scenario Coverage**:
- For each scenario in delta specs (marked with "#### Scenario:"):
- Check if conditions are handled in code
- Check if tests exist covering the scenario
- If scenario appears uncovered:
- Add WARNING: "Scenario not covered: <scenario name>"
- Recommendation: "Add test or implementation for scenario: <description>"
7. **Verify Coherence**
**Design Adherence**:
- If design.md exists in contextFiles:
- Extract key decisions (look for sections like "Decision:", "Approach:", "Architecture:")
- Verify implementation follows those decisions
- If contradiction detected:
- Add WARNING: "Design decision not followed: <decision>"
- Recommendation: "Update implementation or revise design.md to match reality"
- If no design.md: Skip design adherence check, note "No design.md to verify against"
**Code Pattern Consistency**:
- Review new code for consistency with project patterns
- Check file naming, directory structure, coding style
- If significant deviations found:
- Add SUGGESTION: "Code pattern deviation: <details>"
- Recommendation: "Consider following project pattern: <example>"
8. **Generate Verification Report**
**Summary Scorecard**:
```
## Verification Report: <change-name>
### Summary
| Dimension | Status |
|--------------|------------------|
| Completeness | X/Y tasks, N reqs|
| Correctness | M/N reqs covered |
| Coherence | Followed/Issues |
```
**Issues by Priority**:
1. **CRITICAL** (Must fix before archive):
- Incomplete tasks
- Missing requirement implementations
- Each with specific, actionable recommendation
2. **WARNING** (Should fix):
- Spec/design divergences
- Missing scenario coverage
- Each with specific recommendation
3. **SUGGESTION** (Nice to fix):
- Pattern inconsistencies
- Minor improvements
- Each with specific recommendation
**Final Assessment**:
- If CRITICAL issues: "X critical issue(s) found. Fix before archiving."
- If only warnings: "No critical issues. Y warning(s) to consider. Ready for archive (with noted improvements)."
- If all clear: "All checks passed. Ready for archive."
**Verification Heuristics**
- **Completeness**: Focus on objective checklist items (checkboxes, requirements list)
- **Correctness**: Use keyword search, file path analysis, reasonable inference - don't require perfect certainty
- **Coherence**: Look for glaring inconsistencies, don't nitpick style
- **False Positives**: When uncertain, prefer SUGGESTION over WARNING, WARNING over CRITICAL
- **Actionability**: Every issue must have a specific recommendation with file/line references where applicable
**Graceful Degradation**
- If only tasks.md exists: verify task completion only, skip spec/design checks
- If tasks + specs exist: verify completeness and correctness, skip design
- If full artifacts: verify all three dimensions
- Always note which checks were skipped and why
**Output Format**
Use clear markdown with:
- Table for summary scorecard
- Grouped lists for issues (CRITICAL/WARNING/SUGGESTION)
- Code references in format: `file.ts:123`
- Specific, actionable recommendations
- No vague suggestions like "consider reviewing"

version: "1.0"
generatedBy: "1.2.0"
---
Archive multiple completed changes in a single operation.
This skill allows you to batch-archive changes, handling spec conflicts intelligently by checking the codebase to determine what's actually implemented.
**Input**: None required (prompts for selection)
**Steps**
1. **Get active changes**
Run `openspec list --json` to get all active changes.
If no active changes exist, inform user and stop.
2. **Prompt for change selection**
Use **AskUserQuestion tool** with multi-select to let user choose changes:
- Show each change with its schema
- Include an option for "All changes"
- Allow any number of selections (1+ works, 2+ is the typical use case)
**IMPORTANT**: Do NOT auto-select. Always let the user choose.
3. **Batch validation - gather status for all selected changes**
For each selected change, collect:
a. **Artifact status** - Run `openspec status --change "<name>" --json`
- Parse `schemaName` and `artifacts` list
- Note which artifacts are `done` vs other states
b. **Task completion** - Read `openspec/changes/<name>/tasks.md`
- Count `- [ ]` (incomplete) vs `- [x]` (complete)
- If no tasks file exists, note as "No tasks"
c. **Delta specs** - Check `openspec/changes/<name>/specs/` directory
- List which capability specs exist
- For each, extract requirement names (lines matching `### Requirement: <name>`)
4. **Detect spec conflicts**
Build a map of `capability -> [changes that touch it]`:
```
auth -> [change-a, change-b] <- CONFLICT (2+ changes)
api -> [change-c] <- OK (only 1 change)
```
A conflict exists when 2+ selected changes have delta specs for the same capability.
5. **Resolve conflicts agentically**
**For each conflict**, investigate the codebase:
a. **Read the delta specs** from each conflicting change to understand what each claims to add/modify
b. **Search the codebase** for implementation evidence:
- Look for code implementing requirements from each delta spec
- Check for related files, functions, or tests
c. **Determine resolution**:
- If only one change is actually implemented -> sync that one's specs
- If both implemented -> apply in chronological order (older first, newer overwrites)
- If neither implemented -> skip spec sync, warn user
d. **Record resolution** for each conflict:
- Which change's specs to apply
- In what order (if both)
- Rationale (what was found in codebase)
6. **Show consolidated status table**
Display a table summarizing all changes:
```
| Change | Artifacts | Tasks | Specs | Conflicts | Status |
|---------------------|-----------|-------|---------|-----------|--------|
| schema-management | Done | 5/5 | 2 delta | None | Ready |
| project-config | Done | 3/3 | 1 delta | None | Ready |
| add-oauth | Done | 4/4 | 1 delta | auth (!) | Ready* |
| add-verify-skill | 1 left | 2/5 | None | None | Warn |
```
For conflicts, show the resolution:
```
* Conflict resolution:
- auth spec: Will apply add-oauth then add-jwt (both implemented, chronological order)
```
For incomplete changes, show warnings:
```
Warnings:
- add-verify-skill: 1 incomplete artifact, 3 incomplete tasks
```
7. **Confirm batch operation**
Use **AskUserQuestion tool** with a single confirmation:
- "Archive N changes?" with options based on status
- Options might include:
- "Archive all N changes"
- "Archive only N ready changes (skip incomplete)"
- "Cancel"
If there are incomplete changes, make clear they'll be archived with warnings.
8. **Execute archive for each confirmed change**
Process changes in the determined order (respecting conflict resolution):
a. **Sync specs** if delta specs exist:
- Use the openspec-sync-specs approach (agent-driven intelligent merge)
- For conflicts, apply in resolved order
- Track if sync was done
b. **Perform the archive**:
```bash
mkdir -p openspec/changes/archive
mv openspec/changes/<name> openspec/changes/archive/YYYY-MM-DD-<name>
```
c. **Track outcome** for each change:
- Success: archived successfully
- Failed: error during archive (record error)
- Skipped: user chose not to archive (if applicable)
9. **Display summary**
Show final results:
```
## Bulk Archive Complete
Archived 3 changes:
- schema-management-cli -> archive/2026-01-19-schema-management-cli/
- project-config -> archive/2026-01-19-project-config/
- add-oauth -> archive/2026-01-19-add-oauth/
Skipped 1 change:
- add-verify-skill (user chose not to archive incomplete)
Spec sync summary:
- 4 delta specs synced to main specs
- 1 conflict resolved (auth: applied both in chronological order)
```
If any failures:
```
Failed 1 change:
- some-change: Archive directory already exists
```
**Conflict Resolution Examples**
Example 1: Only one implemented
```
Conflict: specs/auth/spec.md touched by [add-oauth, add-jwt]
Checking add-oauth:
- Delta adds "OAuth Provider Integration" requirement
- Searching codebase... found src/auth/oauth.ts implementing OAuth flow
Checking add-jwt:
- Delta adds "JWT Token Handling" requirement
- Searching codebase... no JWT implementation found
Resolution: Only add-oauth is implemented. Will sync add-oauth specs only.
```
Example 2: Both implemented
```
Conflict: specs/api/spec.md touched by [add-rest-api, add-graphql]
Checking add-rest-api (created 2026-01-10):
- Delta adds "REST Endpoints" requirement
- Searching codebase... found src/api/rest.ts
Checking add-graphql (created 2026-01-15):
- Delta adds "GraphQL Schema" requirement
- Searching codebase... found src/api/graphql.ts
Resolution: Both implemented. Will apply add-rest-api specs first,
then add-graphql specs (chronological order, newer takes precedence).
```
**Output On Success**
```
## Bulk Archive Complete
Archived N changes:
- <change-1> -> archive/YYYY-MM-DD-<change-1>/
- <change-2> -> archive/YYYY-MM-DD-<change-2>/
Spec sync summary:
- N delta specs synced to main specs
- No conflicts (or: M conflicts resolved)
```
**Output On Partial Success**
```
## Bulk Archive Complete (partial)
Archived N changes:
- <change-1> -> archive/YYYY-MM-DD-<change-1>/
Skipped M changes:
- <change-2> (user chose not to archive incomplete)
Failed K changes:
- <change-3>: Archive directory already exists
```
**Output When No Changes**
```
## No Changes to Archive
No active changes found. Create a new change to get started.
```
**Guardrails**
- Allow any number of changes (1+ is fine, 2+ is the typical use case)
- Always prompt for selection, never auto-select
- Detect spec conflicts early and resolve by checking codebase
- When both changes are implemented, apply specs in chronological order
- Skip spec sync only when implementation is missing (warn user)
- Show clear per-change status before confirming
- Use single confirmation for entire batch
- Track and report all outcomes (success/skip/fail)
- Preserve .openspec.yaml when moving to archive
- Archive directory target uses current date: YYYY-MM-DD-<name>
- If archive target exists, fail that change but continue with others

license: MIT

Continue working on a change by creating the next artifact.
**Input**: Optionally specify a change name. If omitted, check if it can be inferred from conversation context. If vague or ambiguous you MUST prompt for available changes.
**Steps**
1. **If no change name provided, prompt for selection**
Run `openspec list --json` to get available changes sorted by most recently modified. Then use the **AskUserQuestion tool** to let the user select which change to work on.
Present the top 3-4 most recently modified changes as options, showing:
- Change name
- Schema (from `schema` field if present, otherwise "spec-driven")
- Status (e.g., "0/5 tasks", "complete", "no tasks")
- How recently it was modified (from `lastModified` field)
Mark the most recently modified change as "(Recommended)" since it's likely what the user wants to continue.
**IMPORTANT**: Do NOT guess or auto-select a change. Always let the user choose.
2. **Check current status**
```bash
openspec status --change "<name>" --json
```
Parse the JSON to understand current state. The response includes:
- `schemaName`: The workflow schema being used (e.g., "spec-driven")
- `artifacts`: Array of artifacts with their status ("done", "ready", "blocked")
- `isComplete`: Boolean indicating if all artifacts are complete
3. **Act based on status**:
---
**If all artifacts are complete (`isComplete: true`)**:
- Congratulate the user
- Show final status including the schema used
- Suggest: "All artifacts created! You can now implement this change or archive it."
- STOP
---
**If artifacts are ready to create** (status shows artifacts with `status: "ready"`):
- Pick the FIRST artifact with `status: "ready"` from the status output
- Get its instructions:
```bash
openspec instructions <artifact-id> --change "<name>" --json
```
- Parse the JSON. The key fields are:
- `context`: Project background (constraints for you - do NOT include in output)
- `rules`: Artifact-specific rules (constraints for you - do NOT include in output)
- `template`: The structure to use for your output file
- `instruction`: Schema-specific guidance
- `outputPath`: Where to write the artifact
- `dependencies`: Completed artifacts to read for context
- **Create the artifact file**:
- Read any completed dependency files for context
- Use `template` as the structure - fill in its sections
- Apply `context` and `rules` as constraints when writing - but do NOT copy them into the file
- Write to the output path specified in instructions
- Show what was created and what's now unlocked
- STOP after creating ONE artifact
---
**If no artifacts are ready (all blocked)**:
- This shouldn't happen with a valid schema
- Show status and suggest checking for issues
4. **After creating an artifact, show progress**
```bash
openspec status --change "<name>"
```
**Output**
After each invocation, show:
- Which artifact was created
- Schema workflow being used
- Current progress (N/M complete)
- What artifacts are now unlocked
- Prompt: "Want to continue? Just ask me to continue or tell me what to do next."
**Artifact Creation Guidelines**
The artifact types and their purpose depend on the schema. Use the `instruction` field from the instructions output to understand what to create.
Common artifact patterns:
**spec-driven schema** (proposal → specs → design → tasks):
- **proposal.md**: Ask user about the change if not clear. Fill in Why, What Changes, Capabilities, Impact.
- The Capabilities section is critical - each capability listed will need a spec file.
- **specs/<capability>/spec.md**: Create one spec per capability listed in the proposal's Capabilities section (use the capability name, not the change name).
- **design.md**: Document technical decisions, architecture, and implementation approach.
- **tasks.md**: Break down implementation into checkboxed tasks.
For other schemas, follow the `instruction` field from the CLI output.
**Guardrails**
- Create ONE artifact per invocation
- Always read dependency artifacts before creating a new one
- Never skip artifacts or create out of order
- If context is unclear, ask the user before creating
- Verify the artifact file exists after writing before marking progress
- Use the schema's artifact sequence, don't assume specific artifact names
- **IMPORTANT**: `context` and `rules` are constraints for YOU, not content for the file
- Do NOT copy `<context>`, `<rules>`, `<project_context>` blocks into the artifact
- These guide what you write, but should never appear in the output

description: Fast-forward through OpenSpec artifact creation. Use when the user wants to quickly create all artifacts needed for implementation without stepping through each one individually.
license: MIT
compatibility: Requires openspec CLI.
metadata:
author: openspec
version: "1.0"
generatedBy: "1.2.0"
---
Fast-forward through artifact creation - generate everything needed to start implementation in one go.
**Input**: The user's request should include a change name (kebab-case) OR a description of what they want to build.
**Steps**
1. **If no clear input provided, ask what they want to build**
Use the **AskUserQuestion tool** (open-ended, no preset options) to ask:
> "What change do you want to work on? Describe what you want to build or fix."
From their description, derive a kebab-case name (e.g., "add user authentication" → `add-user-auth`).
**IMPORTANT**: Do NOT proceed without understanding what the user wants to build.
2. **Create the change directory**
```bash
openspec new change "<name>"
```
This creates a scaffolded change at `openspec/changes/<name>/`.
3. **Get the artifact build order**
```bash
openspec status --change "<name>" --json
```
Parse the JSON to get:
- `applyRequires`: array of artifact IDs needed before implementation (e.g., `["tasks"]`)
- `artifacts`: list of all artifacts with their status and dependencies
4. **Create artifacts in sequence until apply-ready**
Use the **TodoWrite tool** to track progress through the artifacts.
Loop through artifacts in dependency order (artifacts with no pending dependencies first):
a. **For each artifact that is `ready` (dependencies satisfied)**:
- Get instructions:
```bash
openspec instructions <artifact-id> --change "<name>" --json
```
- The instructions JSON includes:
- `context`: Project background (constraints for you - do NOT include in output)
- `rules`: Artifact-specific rules (constraints for you - do NOT include in output)
- `template`: The structure to use for your output file
- `instruction`: Schema-specific guidance for this artifact type
- `outputPath`: Where to write the artifact
- `dependencies`: Completed artifacts to read for context
- Read any completed dependency files for context
- Create the artifact file using `template` as the structure
- Apply `context` and `rules` as constraints - but do NOT copy them into the file
- Show brief progress: "✓ Created <artifact-id>"
b. **Continue until all `applyRequires` artifacts are complete**
- After creating each artifact, re-run `openspec status --change "<name>" --json`
- Check if every artifact ID in `applyRequires` has `status: "done"` in the artifacts array
- Stop when all `applyRequires` artifacts are done
c. **If an artifact requires user input** (unclear context):
- Use **AskUserQuestion tool** to clarify
- Then continue with creation
5. **Show final status**
```bash
openspec status --change "<name>"
```
**Output**
After completing all artifacts, summarize:
- Change name and location
- List of artifacts created with brief descriptions
- What's ready: "All artifacts created! Ready for implementation."
- Prompt: "Run `/opsx:apply` or ask me to implement to start working on the tasks."
**Artifact Creation Guidelines**
- Follow the `instruction` field from `openspec instructions` for each artifact type
- The schema defines what each artifact should contain - follow it
- Read dependency artifacts for context before creating new ones
- Use `template` as the structure for your output file - fill in its sections
- **IMPORTANT**: `context` and `rules` are constraints for YOU, not content for the file
- Do NOT copy `<context>`, `<rules>`, `<project_context>` blocks into the artifact
- These guide what you write, but should never appear in the output
**Guardrails**
- Create ALL artifacts needed for implementation (as defined by schema's `apply.requires`)
- Always read dependency artifacts before creating a new one
- If context is critically unclear, ask the user - but prefer making reasonable decisions to keep momentum
- If a change with that name already exists, suggest continuing that change instead
- Verify each artifact file exists after writing before proceeding to next

---
Start a new change using the experimental artifact-driven approach.
**Input**: The user's request should include a change name (kebab-case) OR a description of what they want to build.
**Steps**
1. **If no clear input provided, ask what they want to build**
Use the **AskUserQuestion tool** (open-ended, no preset options) to ask:
> "What change do you want to work on? Describe what you want to build or fix."
From their description, derive a kebab-case name (e.g., "add user authentication" → `add-user-auth`).
**IMPORTANT**: Do NOT proceed without understanding what the user wants to build.
2. **Determine the workflow schema**
Use the default schema (omit `--schema`) unless the user explicitly requests a different workflow.
**Use a different schema only if the user mentions:**
- A specific schema name → use `--schema <name>`
- "show workflows" or "what workflows" → run `openspec schemas --json` and let them choose
**Otherwise**: Omit `--schema` to use the default.
3. **Create the change directory**
```bash
openspec new change "<name>"
```
Add `--schema <name>` only if the user requested a specific workflow.
This creates a scaffolded change at `openspec/changes/<name>/` with the selected schema.
4. **Show the artifact status**
```bash
openspec status --change "<name>"
```
This shows which artifacts need to be created and which are ready (dependencies satisfied).
5. **Get instructions for the first artifact**
The first artifact depends on the schema (e.g., `proposal` for spec-driven).
Check the status output to find the first artifact with status "ready".
```bash
openspec instructions <first-artifact-id> --change "<name>"
```
This outputs the template and context for creating the first artifact.
6. **STOP and wait for user direction**
**Output**
After completing the steps, summarize:
- Change name and location
- Schema/workflow being used and its artifact sequence
- Current status (0/N artifacts complete)
- The template for the first artifact
- Prompt: "Ready to create the first artifact? Just describe what this change is about and I'll draft it, or ask me to continue."
**Guardrails**
- Do NOT create any artifacts yet - just show the instructions
- Do NOT advance beyond showing the first artifact template
- If the name is invalid (not kebab-case), ask for a valid name
- If a change with that name already exists, suggest continuing that change instead
- Pass --schema if using a non-default workflow

description: Guided onboarding for OpenSpec - walk through a complete workflow cycle with narration and real codebase work.
license: MIT
compatibility: Requires openspec CLI.
metadata:
author: openspec
version: "1.0"
generatedBy: "1.2.0"
---
Guide the user through their first complete OpenSpec workflow cycle. This is a teaching experience—you'll do real work in their codebase while explaining each step.
---
## Preflight
Before starting, check if the OpenSpec CLI is installed:
```bash
# Unix/macOS
openspec --version 2>&1 || echo "CLI_NOT_INSTALLED"
# Windows (PowerShell)
# if (Get-Command openspec -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue) { openspec --version } else { echo "CLI_NOT_INSTALLED" }
```
**If CLI not installed:**
> OpenSpec CLI is not installed. Install it first, then come back to `/opsx:onboard`.
Stop here if not installed.
---
## Phase 1: Welcome
Display:
```
## Welcome to OpenSpec!
I'll walk you through a complete change cycle—from idea to implementation—using a real task in your codebase. Along the way, you'll learn the workflow by doing it.
**What we'll do:**
1. Pick a small, real task in your codebase
2. Explore the problem briefly
3. Create a change (the container for our work)
4. Build the artifacts: proposal → specs → design → tasks
5. Implement the tasks
6. Archive the completed change
**Time:** ~15-20 minutes
Let's start by finding something to work on.
```
---
## Phase 2: Task Selection
### Codebase Analysis
Scan the codebase for small improvement opportunities. Look for:
1. **TODO/FIXME comments** - Search for `TODO`, `FIXME`, `HACK`, `XXX` in code files
2. **Missing error handling** - `catch` blocks that swallow errors, risky operations without try-catch
3. **Functions without tests** - Cross-reference `src/` with test directories
4. **Type issues** - `any` types in TypeScript files (`: any`, `as any`)
5. **Debug artifacts** - `console.log`, `console.debug`, `debugger` statements in non-debug code
6. **Missing validation** - User input handlers without validation
Also check recent git activity:
```bash
# Unix/macOS
git log --oneline -10 2>/dev/null || echo "No git history"
# Windows (PowerShell)
# git log --oneline -10 2>$null; if ($LASTEXITCODE -ne 0) { echo "No git history" }
```
### Present Suggestions
From your analysis, present 3-4 specific suggestions:
```
## Task Suggestions
Based on scanning your codebase, here are some good starter tasks:
**1. [Most promising task]**
Location: `src/path/to/file.ts:42`
Scope: ~1-2 files, ~20-30 lines
Why it's good: [brief reason]
**2. [Second task]**
Location: `src/another/file.ts`
Scope: ~1 file, ~15 lines
Why it's good: [brief reason]
**3. [Third task]**
Location: [location]
Scope: [estimate]
Why it's good: [brief reason]
**4. Something else?**
Tell me what you'd like to work on.
Which task interests you? (Pick a number or describe your own)
```
**If nothing found:** Fall back to asking what the user wants to build:
> I didn't find obvious quick wins in your codebase. What's something small you've been meaning to add or fix?
### Scope Guardrail
If the user picks or describes something too large (major feature, multi-day work):
```
That's a valuable task, but it's probably larger than ideal for your first OpenSpec run-through.
For learning the workflow, smaller is better—it lets you see the full cycle without getting stuck in implementation details.
**Options:**
1. **Slice it smaller** - What's the smallest useful piece of [their task]? Maybe just [specific slice]?
2. **Pick something else** - One of the other suggestions, or a different small task?
3. **Do it anyway** - If you really want to tackle this, we can. Just know it'll take longer.
What would you prefer?
```
Let the user override if they insist—this is a soft guardrail.
---
## Phase 3: Explore Demo
Once a task is selected, briefly demonstrate explore mode:
```
Before we create a change, let me quickly show you **explore mode**—it's how you think through problems before committing to a direction.
```
Spend 1-2 minutes investigating the relevant code:
- Read the file(s) involved
- Draw a quick ASCII diagram if it helps
- Note any considerations
```
## Quick Exploration
[Your brief analysis—what you found, any considerations]
┌─────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ [Optional: ASCII diagram if helpful] │
└─────────────────────────────────────────┘
Explore mode (`/opsx:explore`) is for this kind of thinking—investigating before implementing. You can use it anytime you need to think through a problem.
Now let's create a change to hold our work.
```
**PAUSE** - Wait for user acknowledgment before proceeding.
---
## Phase 4: Create the Change
**EXPLAIN:**
```
## Creating a Change
A "change" in OpenSpec is a container for all the thinking and planning around a piece of work. It lives in `openspec/changes/<name>/` and holds your artifacts—proposal, specs, design, tasks.
Let me create one for our task.
```
**DO:** Create the change with a derived kebab-case name:
```bash
openspec new change "<derived-name>"
```
**SHOW:**
```
Created: `openspec/changes/<name>/`
The folder structure:
```
openspec/changes/<name>/
├── proposal.md ← Why we're doing this (empty, we'll fill it)
├── design.md ← How we'll build it (empty)
├── specs/ ← Detailed requirements (empty)
└── tasks.md ← Implementation checklist (empty)
```
Now let's fill in the first artifact—the proposal.
```
---
## Phase 5: Proposal
**EXPLAIN:**
```
## The Proposal
The proposal captures **why** we're making this change and **what** it involves at a high level. It's the "elevator pitch" for the work.
I'll draft one based on our task.
```
**DO:** Draft the proposal content (don't save yet):
```
Here's a draft proposal:
---
## Why
[1-2 sentences explaining the problem/opportunity]
## What Changes
[Bullet points of what will be different]
## Capabilities
### New Capabilities
- `<capability-name>`: [brief description]
### Modified Capabilities
<!-- If modifying existing behavior -->
## Impact
- `src/path/to/file.ts`: [what changes]
- [other files if applicable]
---
Does this capture the intent? I can adjust before we save it.
```
**PAUSE** - Wait for user approval/feedback.
After approval, save the proposal:
```bash
openspec instructions proposal --change "<name>" --json
```
Then write the content to `openspec/changes/<name>/proposal.md`.
```
Proposal saved. This is your "why" document—you can always come back and refine it as understanding evolves.
Next up: specs.
```
---
## Phase 6: Specs
**EXPLAIN:**
```
## Specs
Specs define **what** we're building in precise, testable terms. They use a requirement/scenario format that makes expected behavior crystal clear.
For a small task like this, we might only need one spec file.
```
**DO:** Create the spec file:
```bash
# Unix/macOS
mkdir -p openspec/changes/<name>/specs/<capability-name>
# Windows (PowerShell)
# New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force -Path "openspec/changes/<name>/specs/<capability-name>"
```
Draft the spec content:
```
Here's the spec:
---
## ADDED Requirements
### Requirement: <Name>
<Description of what the system should do>
#### Scenario: <Scenario name>
- **WHEN** <trigger condition>
- **THEN** <expected outcome>
- **AND** <additional outcome if needed>
---
This format—WHEN/THEN/AND—makes requirements testable. You can literally read them as test cases.
```
Save to `openspec/changes/<name>/specs/<capability>/spec.md`.
---
## Phase 7: Design
**EXPLAIN:**
```
## Design
The design captures **how** we'll build it—technical decisions, tradeoffs, approach.
For small changes, this might be brief. That's fine—not every change needs deep design discussion.
```
**DO:** Draft design.md:
```
Here's the design:
---
## Context
[Brief context about the current state]
## Goals / Non-Goals
**Goals:**
- [What we're trying to achieve]
**Non-Goals:**
- [What's explicitly out of scope]
## Decisions
### Decision 1: [Key decision]
[Explanation of approach and rationale]
---
For a small task, this captures the key decisions without over-engineering.
```
Save to `openspec/changes/<name>/design.md`.
---
## Phase 8: Tasks
**EXPLAIN:**
```
## Tasks
Finally, we break the work into implementation tasks—checkboxes that drive the apply phase.
These should be small, clear, and in logical order.
```
**DO:** Generate tasks based on specs and design:
```
Here are the implementation tasks:
---
## 1. [Category or file]
- [ ] 1.1 [Specific task]
- [ ] 1.2 [Specific task]
## 2. Verify
- [ ] 2.1 [Verification step]
---
Each checkbox becomes a unit of work in the apply phase. Ready to implement?
```
**PAUSE** - Wait for user to confirm they're ready to implement.
Save to `openspec/changes/<name>/tasks.md`.
---
## Phase 9: Apply (Implementation)
**EXPLAIN:**
```
## Implementation
Now we implement each task, checking them off as we go. I'll announce each one and occasionally note how the specs/design informed the approach.
```
**DO:** For each task:
1. Announce: "Working on task N: [description]"
2. Implement the change in the codebase
3. Reference specs/design naturally: "The spec says X, so I'm doing Y"
4. Mark complete in tasks.md: `- [ ]``- [x]`
5. Brief status: "✓ Task N complete"
Keep narration light—don't over-explain every line of code.
After all tasks:
```
## Implementation Complete
All tasks done:
- [x] Task 1
- [x] Task 2
- [x] ...
The change is implemented! One more step—let's archive it.
```
---
## Phase 10: Archive
**EXPLAIN:**
```
## Archiving
When a change is complete, we archive it. This moves it from `openspec/changes/` to `openspec/changes/archive/YYYY-MM-DD-<name>/`.
Archived changes become your project's decision history—you can always find them later to understand why something was built a certain way.
```
**DO:**
```bash
openspec archive "<name>"
```
**SHOW:**
```
Archived to: `openspec/changes/archive/YYYY-MM-DD-<name>/`
The change is now part of your project's history. The code is in your codebase, the decision record is preserved.
```
---
## Phase 11: Recap & Next Steps
```
## Congratulations!
You just completed a full OpenSpec cycle:
1. **Explore** - Thought through the problem
2. **New** - Created a change container
3. **Proposal** - Captured WHY
4. **Specs** - Defined WHAT in detail
5. **Design** - Decided HOW
6. **Tasks** - Broke it into steps
7. **Apply** - Implemented the work
8. **Archive** - Preserved the record
This same rhythm works for any size change—a small fix or a major feature.

## Command Reference
**Core workflow:**
| Command | What it does |
|---------|--------------|
| `/opsx:propose` | Create a change and generate all artifacts |
| `/opsx:explore` | Think through problems before/during work |
| `/opsx:apply` | Implement tasks from a change |
| `/opsx:archive` | Archive a completed change |
**Additional commands:**
| Command | What it does |
|---------|--------------|
| `/opsx:new` | Start a new change, step through artifacts one at a time |
| `/opsx:continue` | Continue working on an existing change |
| `/opsx:ff` | Fast-forward: create all artifacts at once |
| `/opsx:verify` | Verify implementation matches artifacts |
---
## What's Next?
Try `/opsx:propose` on something you actually want to build. You've got the rhythm now!
```
---
## Graceful Exit Handling
### User wants to stop mid-way
If the user says they need to stop, want to pause, or seem disengaged:
```
No problem! Your change is saved at `openspec/changes/<name>/`.
To pick up where we left off later:
- `/opsx:continue <name>` - Resume artifact creation
- `/opsx:apply <name>` - Jump to implementation (if tasks exist)
The work won't be lost. Come back whenever you're ready.
```
Exit gracefully without pressure.
### User just wants command reference
If the user says they just want to see the commands or skip the tutorial:
```
## OpenSpec Quick Reference
**Core workflow:**
| Command | What it does |
|---------|--------------|
| `/opsx:propose <name>` | Create a change and generate all artifacts |
| `/opsx:explore` | Think through problems (no code changes) |
| `/opsx:apply <name>` | Implement tasks |
| `/opsx:archive <name>` | Archive when done |
**Additional commands:**
| Command | What it does |
|---------|--------------|
| `/opsx:new <name>` | Start a new change, step by step |
| `/opsx:continue <name>` | Continue an existing change |
| `/opsx:ff <name>` | Fast-forward: all artifacts at once |
| `/opsx:verify <name>` | Verify implementation |
Try `/opsx:propose` to start your first change.
```
Exit gracefully.
---
## Guardrails
- **Follow the EXPLAIN → DO → SHOW → PAUSE pattern** at key transitions (after explore, after proposal draft, after tasks, after archive)
- **Keep narration light** during implementation—teach without lecturing
- **Don't skip phases** even if the change is small—the goal is teaching the workflow
- **Pause for acknowledgment** at marked points, but don't over-pause
- **Handle exits gracefully**—never pressure the user to continue
- **Use real codebase tasks**—don't simulate or use fake examples
- **Adjust scope gently**—guide toward smaller tasks but respect user choice

name: openspec-sync-specs
description: Sync delta specs from a change to main specs. Use when the user wants to update main specs with changes from a delta spec, without archiving the change.
license: MIT
compatibility: Requires openspec CLI.

Sync delta specs from a change to main specs.
This is an **agent-driven** operation - you will read delta specs and directly edit main specs to apply the changes. This allows intelligent merging (e.g., adding a scenario without copying the entire requirement).
**Input**: Optionally specify a change name. If omitted, check if it can be inferred from conversation context. If vague or ambiguous you MUST prompt for available changes.
**Steps**
1. **If no change name provided, prompt for selection**
Run `openspec list --json` to get available changes. Use the **AskUserQuestion tool** to let the user select.
Show changes that have delta specs (under `specs/` directory).
**IMPORTANT**: Do NOT guess or auto-select a change. Always let the user choose.
2. **Find delta specs**
Look for delta spec files in `openspec/changes/<name>/specs/*/spec.md`.
Each delta spec file contains sections like:
- `## ADDED Requirements` - New requirements to add
- `## MODIFIED Requirements` - Changes to existing requirements
- `## REMOVED Requirements` - Requirements to remove
- `## RENAMED Requirements` - Requirements to rename (FROM:/TO: format)
If no delta specs found, inform user and stop.
3. **For each delta spec, apply changes to main specs**
For each capability with a delta spec at `openspec/changes/<name>/specs/<capability>/spec.md`:
a. **Read the delta spec** to understand the intended changes
b. **Read the main spec** at `openspec/specs/<capability>/spec.md` (may not exist yet)
c. **Apply changes intelligently**:
**ADDED Requirements:**
- If requirement doesn't exist in main spec → add it
- If requirement already exists → update it to match (treat as implicit MODIFIED)
**MODIFIED Requirements:**
- Find the requirement in main spec
- Apply the changes - this can be:
- Adding new scenarios (don't need to copy existing ones)
- Modifying existing scenarios
- Changing the requirement description
- Preserve scenarios/content not mentioned in the delta
**REMOVED Requirements:**
- Remove the entire requirement block from main spec
**RENAMED Requirements:**
- Find the FROM requirement, rename to TO
d. **Create new main spec** if capability doesn't exist yet:
- Create `openspec/specs/<capability>/spec.md`
- Add Purpose section (can be brief, mark as TBD)
- Add Requirements section with the ADDED requirements
4. **Show summary**
After applying all changes, summarize:
- Which capabilities were updated
- What changes were made (requirements added/modified/removed/renamed)
**Delta Spec Format Reference**
```markdown
## ADDED Requirements
### Requirement: New Feature
The system SHALL do something new.
#### Scenario: Basic case
- **WHEN** user does X
- **THEN** system does Y
## MODIFIED Requirements
### Requirement: Existing Feature
#### Scenario: New scenario to add
- **WHEN** user does A
- **THEN** system does B
## REMOVED Requirements
### Requirement: Deprecated Feature
## RENAMED Requirements
- FROM: `### Requirement: Old Name`
- TO: `### Requirement: New Name`
```
**Key Principle: Intelligent Merging**
Unlike programmatic merging, you can apply **partial updates**:
- To add a scenario, just include that scenario under MODIFIED - don't copy existing scenarios
- The delta represents *intent*, not a wholesale replacement
- Use your judgment to merge changes sensibly
**Output On Success**
```
## Specs Synced: <change-name>
Updated main specs:
**<capability-1>**:
- Added requirement: "New Feature"
- Modified requirement: "Existing Feature" (added 1 scenario)
**<capability-2>**:
- Created new spec file
- Added requirement: "Another Feature"
Main specs are now updated. The change remains active - archive when implementation is complete.
```
**Guardrails**
- Read both delta and main specs before making changes
- Preserve existing content not mentioned in delta
- If something is unclear, ask for clarification
- Show what you're changing as you go
- The operation should be idempotent - running twice should give same result

name: openspec-verify-change
description: Verify implementation matches change artifacts. Use when the user wants to validate that implementation is complete, correct, and coherent before archiving.
license: MIT

Verify that an implementation matches the change artifacts (specs, tasks, design).
**Input**: Optionally specify a change name. If omitted, check if it can be inferred from conversation context. If vague or ambiguous you MUST prompt for available changes.
**Steps**
1. **If no change name provided, prompt for selection**
Run `openspec list --json` to get available changes. Use the **AskUserQuestion tool** to let the user select.
Show changes that have implementation tasks (tasks artifact exists).
Include the schema used for each change if available.
Mark changes with incomplete tasks as "(In Progress)".
**IMPORTANT**: Do NOT guess or auto-select a change. Always let the user choose.
2. **Check status to understand the schema**
```bash
openspec status --change "<name>" --json
```
Parse the JSON to understand:
- `schemaName`: The workflow being used (e.g., "spec-driven")
- Which artifacts exist for this change
3. **Get the change directory and load artifacts**
```bash
openspec instructions apply --change "<name>" --json
```
This returns the change directory and context files. Read all available artifacts from `contextFiles`.
4. **Initialize verification report structure**
Create a report structure with three dimensions:
- **Completeness**: Track tasks and spec coverage
- **Correctness**: Track requirement implementation and scenario coverage
- **Coherence**: Track design adherence and pattern consistency
Each dimension can have CRITICAL, WARNING, or SUGGESTION issues.
5. **Verify Completeness**
**Task Completion**:
- If tasks.md exists in contextFiles, read it
- Parse checkboxes: `- [ ]` (incomplete) vs `- [x]` (complete)
- Count complete vs total tasks
- If incomplete tasks exist:
- Add CRITICAL issue for each incomplete task
- Recommendation: "Complete task: <description>" or "Mark as done if already implemented"
**Spec Coverage**:
- If delta specs exist in `openspec/changes/<name>/specs/`:
- Extract all requirements (marked with "### Requirement:")
- For each requirement:
- Search codebase for keywords related to the requirement
- Assess if implementation likely exists
- If requirements appear unimplemented:
- Add CRITICAL issue: "Requirement not found: <requirement name>"
- Recommendation: "Implement requirement X: <description>"
6. **Verify Correctness**
**Requirement Implementation Mapping**:
- For each requirement from delta specs:
- Search codebase for implementation evidence
- If found, note file paths and line ranges
- Assess if implementation matches requirement intent
- If divergence detected:
- Add WARNING: "Implementation may diverge from spec: <details>"
- Recommendation: "Review <file>:<lines> against requirement X"
**Scenario Coverage**:
- For each scenario in delta specs (marked with "#### Scenario:"):
- Check if conditions are handled in code
- Check if tests exist covering the scenario
- If scenario appears uncovered:
- Add WARNING: "Scenario not covered: <scenario name>"
- Recommendation: "Add test or implementation for scenario: <description>"
7. **Verify Coherence**
**Design Adherence**:
- If design.md exists in contextFiles:
- Extract key decisions (look for sections like "Decision:", "Approach:", "Architecture:")
- Verify implementation follows those decisions
- If contradiction detected:
- Add WARNING: "Design decision not followed: <decision>"
- Recommendation: "Update implementation or revise design.md to match reality"
- If no design.md: Skip design adherence check, note "No design.md to verify against"
**Code Pattern Consistency**:
- Review new code for consistency with project patterns
- Check file naming, directory structure, coding style
- If significant deviations found:
- Add SUGGESTION: "Code pattern deviation: <details>"
- Recommendation: "Consider following project pattern: <example>"
8. **Generate Verification Report**
**Summary Scorecard**:
```
## Verification Report: <change-name>
### Summary
| Dimension | Status |
|--------------|------------------|
| Completeness | X/Y tasks, N reqs|
| Correctness | M/N reqs covered |
| Coherence | Followed/Issues |
```
**Issues by Priority**:
1. **CRITICAL** (Must fix before archive):
- Incomplete tasks
- Missing requirement implementations
- Each with specific, actionable recommendation
2. **WARNING** (Should fix):
- Spec/design divergences
- Missing scenario coverage
- Each with specific recommendation
3. **SUGGESTION** (Nice to fix):
- Pattern inconsistencies
- Minor improvements
- Each with specific recommendation
**Final Assessment**:
- If CRITICAL issues: "X critical issue(s) found. Fix before archiving."
- If only warnings: "No critical issues. Y warning(s) to consider. Ready for archive (with noted improvements)."
- If all clear: "All checks passed. Ready for archive."
**Verification Heuristics**
- **Completeness**: Focus on objective checklist items (checkboxes, requirements list)
- **Correctness**: Use keyword search, file path analysis, reasonable inference - don't require perfect certainty
- **Coherence**: Look for glaring inconsistencies, don't nitpick style
- **False Positives**: When uncertain, prefer SUGGESTION over WARNING, WARNING over CRITICAL
- **Actionability**: Every issue must have a specific recommendation with file/line references where applicable
**Graceful Degradation**
- If only tasks.md exists: verify task completion only, skip spec/design checks
- If tasks + specs exist: verify completeness and correctness, skip design
- If full artifacts: verify all three dimensions
- Always note which checks were skipped and why
**Output Format**
Use clear markdown with:
- Table for summary scorecard
- Grouped lists for issues (CRITICAL/WARNING/SUGGESTION)
- Code references in format: `file.ts:123`
- Specific, actionable recommendations
- No vague suggestions like "consider reviewing"

description: Archive multiple completed changes at once
---
Archive multiple completed changes in a single operation.
This skill allows you to batch-archive changes, handling spec conflicts intelligently by checking the codebase to determine what's actually implemented.
**Input**: None required (prompts for selection)
**Steps**
1. **Get active changes**
Run `openspec list --json` to get all active changes.
If no active changes exist, inform user and stop.
2. **Prompt for change selection**
Use **AskUserQuestion tool** with multi-select to let user choose changes:
- Show each change with its schema
- Include an option for "All changes"
- Allow any number of selections (1+ works, 2+ is the typical use case)
**IMPORTANT**: Do NOT auto-select. Always let the user choose.
3. **Batch validation - gather status for all selected changes**
For each selected change, collect:
a. **Artifact status** - Run `openspec status --change "<name>" --json`
- Parse `schemaName` and `artifacts` list
- Note which artifacts are `done` vs other states
b. **Task completion** - Read `openspec/changes/<name>/tasks.md`
- Count `- [ ]` (incomplete) vs `- [x]` (complete)
- If no tasks file exists, note as "No tasks"
c. **Delta specs** - Check `openspec/changes/<name>/specs/` directory
- List which capability specs exist
- For each, extract requirement names (lines matching `### Requirement: <name>`)
4. **Detect spec conflicts**
Build a map of `capability -> [changes that touch it]`:
```
auth -> [change-a, change-b] <- CONFLICT (2+ changes)
api -> [change-c] <- OK (only 1 change)
```
A conflict exists when 2+ selected changes have delta specs for the same capability.
5. **Resolve conflicts agentically**
**For each conflict**, investigate the codebase:
a. **Read the delta specs** from each conflicting change to understand what each claims to add/modify
b. **Search the codebase** for implementation evidence:
- Look for code implementing requirements from each delta spec
- Check for related files, functions, or tests
c. **Determine resolution**:
- If only one change is actually implemented -> sync that one's specs
- If both implemented -> apply in chronological order (older first, newer overwrites)
- If neither implemented -> skip spec sync, warn user
d. **Record resolution** for each conflict:
- Which change's specs to apply
- In what order (if both)
- Rationale (what was found in codebase)
6. **Show consolidated status table**
Display a table summarizing all changes:
```
| Change | Artifacts | Tasks | Specs | Conflicts | Status |
|---------------------|-----------|-------|---------|-----------|--------|
| schema-management | Done | 5/5 | 2 delta | None | Ready |
| project-config | Done | 3/3 | 1 delta | None | Ready |
| add-oauth | Done | 4/4 | 1 delta | auth (!) | Ready* |
| add-verify-skill | 1 left | 2/5 | None | None | Warn |
```
For conflicts, show the resolution:
```
* Conflict resolution:
- auth spec: Will apply add-oauth then add-jwt (both implemented, chronological order)
```
For incomplete changes, show warnings:
```
Warnings:
- add-verify-skill: 1 incomplete artifact, 3 incomplete tasks
```
7. **Confirm batch operation**
Use **AskUserQuestion tool** with a single confirmation:
- "Archive N changes?" with options based on status
- Options might include:
- "Archive all N changes"
- "Archive only N ready changes (skip incomplete)"
- "Cancel"
If there are incomplete changes, make clear they'll be archived with warnings.
8. **Execute archive for each confirmed change**
Process changes in the determined order (respecting conflict resolution):
a. **Sync specs** if delta specs exist:
- Use the openspec-sync-specs approach (agent-driven intelligent merge)
- For conflicts, apply in resolved order
- Track if sync was done
b. **Perform the archive**:
```bash
mkdir -p openspec/changes/archive
mv openspec/changes/<name> openspec/changes/archive/YYYY-MM-DD-<name>
```
c. **Track outcome** for each change:
- Success: archived successfully
- Failed: error during archive (record error)
- Skipped: user chose not to archive (if applicable)
9. **Display summary**
Show final results:
```
## Bulk Archive Complete
Archived 3 changes:
- schema-management-cli -> archive/2026-01-19-schema-management-cli/
- project-config -> archive/2026-01-19-project-config/
- add-oauth -> archive/2026-01-19-add-oauth/
Skipped 1 change:
- add-verify-skill (user chose not to archive incomplete)
Spec sync summary:
- 4 delta specs synced to main specs
- 1 conflict resolved (auth: applied both in chronological order)
```
If any failures:
```
Failed 1 change:
- some-change: Archive directory already exists
```
**Conflict Resolution Examples**
Example 1: Only one implemented
```
Conflict: specs/auth/spec.md touched by [add-oauth, add-jwt]
Checking add-oauth:
- Delta adds "OAuth Provider Integration" requirement
- Searching codebase... found src/auth/oauth.ts implementing OAuth flow
Checking add-jwt:
- Delta adds "JWT Token Handling" requirement
- Searching codebase... no JWT implementation found
Resolution: Only add-oauth is implemented. Will sync add-oauth specs only.
```
Example 2: Both implemented
```
Conflict: specs/api/spec.md touched by [add-rest-api, add-graphql]
Checking add-rest-api (created 2026-01-10):
- Delta adds "REST Endpoints" requirement
- Searching codebase... found src/api/rest.ts
Checking add-graphql (created 2026-01-15):
- Delta adds "GraphQL Schema" requirement
- Searching codebase... found src/api/graphql.ts
Resolution: Both implemented. Will apply add-rest-api specs first,
then add-graphql specs (chronological order, newer takes precedence).
```
**Output On Success**
```
## Bulk Archive Complete
Archived N changes:
- <change-1> -> archive/YYYY-MM-DD-<change-1>/
- <change-2> -> archive/YYYY-MM-DD-<change-2>/
Spec sync summary:
- N delta specs synced to main specs
- No conflicts (or: M conflicts resolved)
```
**Output On Partial Success**
```
## Bulk Archive Complete (partial)
Archived N changes:
- <change-1> -> archive/YYYY-MM-DD-<change-1>/
Skipped M changes:
- <change-2> (user chose not to archive incomplete)
Failed K changes:
- <change-3>: Archive directory already exists
```
**Output When No Changes**
```
## No Changes to Archive
No active changes found. Create a new change to get started.
```
**Guardrails**
- Allow any number of changes (1+ is fine, 2+ is the typical use case)
- Always prompt for selection, never auto-select
- Detect spec conflicts early and resolve by checking codebase
- When both changes are implemented, apply specs in chronological order
- Skip spec sync only when implementation is missing (warn user)
- Show clear per-change status before confirming
- Use single confirmation for entire batch
- Track and report all outcomes (success/skip/fail)
- Preserve .openspec.yaml when moving to archive
- Archive directory target uses current date: YYYY-MM-DD-<name>
- If archive target exists, fail that change but continue with others

description: Continue working on a change - create the next artifact (Experimental)
---
Continue working on a change by creating the next artifact.
**Input**: Optionally specify a change name after `/opsx-continue` (e.g., `/opsx-continue add-auth`). If omitted, check if it can be inferred from conversation context. If vague or ambiguous you MUST prompt for available changes.
**Steps**
1. **If no change name provided, prompt for selection**
Run `openspec list --json` to get available changes sorted by most recently modified. Then use the **AskUserQuestion tool** to let the user select which change to work on.
Present the top 3-4 most recently modified changes as options, showing:
- Change name
- Schema (from `schema` field if present, otherwise "spec-driven")
- Status (e.g., "0/5 tasks", "complete", "no tasks")
- How recently it was modified (from `lastModified` field)
Mark the most recently modified change as "(Recommended)" since it's likely what the user wants to continue.
**IMPORTANT**: Do NOT guess or auto-select a change. Always let the user choose.
2. **Check current status**
```bash
openspec status --change "<name>" --json
```
Parse the JSON to understand current state. The response includes:
- `schemaName`: The workflow schema being used (e.g., "spec-driven")
- `artifacts`: Array of artifacts with their status ("done", "ready", "blocked")
- `isComplete`: Boolean indicating if all artifacts are complete
3. **Act based on status**:
---
**If all artifacts are complete (`isComplete: true`)**:
- Congratulate the user
- Show final status including the schema used
- Suggest: "All artifacts created! You can now implement this change with `/opsx-apply` or archive it with `/opsx-archive`."
- STOP
---
**If artifacts are ready to create** (status shows artifacts with `status: "ready"`):
- Pick the FIRST artifact with `status: "ready"` from the status output
- Get its instructions:
```bash
openspec instructions <artifact-id> --change "<name>" --json
```
- Parse the JSON. The key fields are:
- `context`: Project background (constraints for you - do NOT include in output)
- `rules`: Artifact-specific rules (constraints for you - do NOT include in output)
- `template`: The structure to use for your output file
- `instruction`: Schema-specific guidance
- `outputPath`: Where to write the artifact
- `dependencies`: Completed artifacts to read for context
- **Create the artifact file**:
- Read any completed dependency files for context
- Use `template` as the structure - fill in its sections
- Apply `context` and `rules` as constraints when writing - but do NOT copy them into the file
- Write to the output path specified in instructions
- Show what was created and what's now unlocked
- STOP after creating ONE artifact
---
**If no artifacts are ready (all blocked)**:
- This shouldn't happen with a valid schema
- Show status and suggest checking for issues
4. **After creating an artifact, show progress**
```bash
openspec status --change "<name>"
```
**Output**
After each invocation, show:
- Which artifact was created
- Schema workflow being used
- Current progress (N/M complete)
- What artifacts are now unlocked
- Prompt: "Run `/opsx-continue` to create the next artifact"
**Artifact Creation Guidelines**
The artifact types and their purpose depend on the schema. Use the `instruction` field from the instructions output to understand what to create.
Common artifact patterns:
**spec-driven schema** (proposal → specs → design → tasks):
- **proposal.md**: Ask user about the change if not clear. Fill in Why, What Changes, Capabilities, Impact.
- The Capabilities section is critical - each capability listed will need a spec file.
- **specs/<capability>/spec.md**: Create one spec per capability listed in the proposal's Capabilities section (use the capability name, not the change name).
- **design.md**: Document technical decisions, architecture, and implementation approach.
- **tasks.md**: Break down implementation into checkboxed tasks.
For other schemas, follow the `instruction` field from the CLI output.
**Guardrails**
- Create ONE artifact per invocation
- Always read dependency artifacts before creating a new one
- Never skip artifacts or create out of order
- If context is unclear, ask the user before creating
- Verify the artifact file exists after writing before marking progress
- Use the schema's artifact sequence, don't assume specific artifact names
- **IMPORTANT**: `context` and `rules` are constraints for YOU, not content for the file
- Do NOT copy `<context>`, `<rules>`, `<project_context>` blocks into the artifact
- These guide what you write, but should never appear in the output

description: Create a change and generate all artifacts needed for implementation in one go
---
Fast-forward through artifact creation - generate everything needed to start implementation.
**Input**: The argument after `/opsx-ff` is the change name (kebab-case), OR a description of what the user wants to build.
**Steps**
1. **If no input provided, ask what they want to build**
Use the **AskUserQuestion tool** (open-ended, no preset options) to ask:
> "What change do you want to work on? Describe what you want to build or fix."
From their description, derive a kebab-case name (e.g., "add user authentication" → `add-user-auth`).
**IMPORTANT**: Do NOT proceed without understanding what the user wants to build.
2. **Create the change directory**
```bash
openspec new change "<name>"
```
This creates a scaffolded change at `openspec/changes/<name>/`.
3. **Get the artifact build order**
```bash
openspec status --change "<name>" --json
```
Parse the JSON to get:
- `applyRequires`: array of artifact IDs needed before implementation (e.g., `["tasks"]`)
- `artifacts`: list of all artifacts with their status and dependencies
4. **Create artifacts in sequence until apply-ready**
Use the **TodoWrite tool** to track progress through the artifacts.
Loop through artifacts in dependency order (artifacts with no pending dependencies first):
a. **For each artifact that is `ready` (dependencies satisfied)**:
- Get instructions:
```bash
openspec instructions <artifact-id> --change "<name>" --json
```
- The instructions JSON includes:
- `context`: Project background (constraints for you - do NOT include in output)
- `rules`: Artifact-specific rules (constraints for you - do NOT include in output)
- `template`: The structure to use for your output file
- `instruction`: Schema-specific guidance for this artifact type
- `outputPath`: Where to write the artifact
- `dependencies`: Completed artifacts to read for context
- Read any completed dependency files for context
- Create the artifact file using `template` as the structure
- Apply `context` and `rules` as constraints - but do NOT copy them into the file
- Show brief progress: "✓ Created <artifact-id>"
b. **Continue until all `applyRequires` artifacts are complete**
- After creating each artifact, re-run `openspec status --change "<name>" --json`
- Check if every artifact ID in `applyRequires` has `status: "done"` in the artifacts array
- Stop when all `applyRequires` artifacts are done
c. **If an artifact requires user input** (unclear context):
- Use **AskUserQuestion tool** to clarify
- Then continue with creation
5. **Show final status**
```bash
openspec status --change "<name>"
```
**Output**
After completing all artifacts, summarize:
- Change name and location
- List of artifacts created with brief descriptions
- What's ready: "All artifacts created! Ready for implementation."
- Prompt: "Run `/opsx-apply` to start implementing."
**Artifact Creation Guidelines**
- Follow the `instruction` field from `openspec instructions` for each artifact type
- The schema defines what each artifact should contain - follow it
- Read dependency artifacts for context before creating new ones
- Use `template` as the structure for your output file - fill in its sections
- **IMPORTANT**: `context` and `rules` are constraints for YOU, not content for the file
- Do NOT copy `<context>`, `<rules>`, `<project_context>` blocks into the artifact
- These guide what you write, but should never appear in the output
**Guardrails**
- Create ALL artifacts needed for implementation (as defined by schema's `apply.requires`)
- Always read dependency artifacts before creating a new one
- If context is critically unclear, ask the user - but prefer making reasonable decisions to keep momentum
- If a change with that name already exists, ask if user wants to continue it or create a new one
- Verify each artifact file exists after writing before proceeding to next

description: Start a new change using the experimental artifact workflow (OPSX)
---
Start a new change using the experimental artifact-driven approach.
**Input**: The argument after `/opsx-new` is the change name (kebab-case), OR a description of what the user wants to build.
**Steps**
1. **If no input provided, ask what they want to build**
Use the **AskUserQuestion tool** (open-ended, no preset options) to ask:
> "What change do you want to work on? Describe what you want to build or fix."
From their description, derive a kebab-case name (e.g., "add user authentication" → `add-user-auth`).
**IMPORTANT**: Do NOT proceed without understanding what the user wants to build.
2. **Determine the workflow schema**
Use the default schema (omit `--schema`) unless the user explicitly requests a different workflow.
**Use a different schema only if the user mentions:**
- A specific schema name → use `--schema <name>`
- "show workflows" or "what workflows" → run `openspec schemas --json` and let them choose
**Otherwise**: Omit `--schema` to use the default.
3. **Create the change directory**
```bash
openspec new change "<name>"
```
Add `--schema <name>` only if the user requested a specific workflow.
This creates a scaffolded change at `openspec/changes/<name>/` with the selected schema.
4. **Show the artifact status**
```bash
openspec status --change "<name>"
```
This shows which artifacts need to be created and which are ready (dependencies satisfied).
5. **Get instructions for the first artifact**
The first artifact depends on the schema. Check the status output to find the first artifact with status "ready".
```bash
openspec instructions <first-artifact-id> --change "<name>"
```
This outputs the template and context for creating the first artifact.
6. **STOP and wait for user direction**
**Output**
After completing the steps, summarize:
- Change name and location
- Schema/workflow being used and its artifact sequence
- Current status (0/N artifacts complete)
- The template for the first artifact
- Prompt: "Ready to create the first artifact? Run `/opsx-continue` or just describe what this change is about and I'll draft it."
**Guardrails**
- Do NOT create any artifacts yet - just show the instructions
- Do NOT advance beyond showing the first artifact template
- If the name is invalid (not kebab-case), ask for a valid name
- If a change with that name already exists, suggest using `/opsx-continue` instead
- Pass --schema if using a non-default workflow

description: Guided onboarding - walk through a complete OpenSpec workflow cycle with narration
---
Guide the user through their first complete OpenSpec workflow cycle. This is a teaching experience—you'll do real work in their codebase while explaining each step.
---
## Preflight
Before starting, check if the OpenSpec CLI is installed:
```bash
# Unix/macOS
openspec --version 2>&1 || echo "CLI_NOT_INSTALLED"
# Windows (PowerShell)
# if (Get-Command openspec -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue) { openspec --version } else { echo "CLI_NOT_INSTALLED" }
```
**If CLI not installed:**
> OpenSpec CLI is not installed. Install it first, then come back to `/opsx-onboard`.
Stop here if not installed.
---
## Phase 1: Welcome
Display:
```
## Welcome to OpenSpec!
I'll walk you through a complete change cycle—from idea to implementation—using a real task in your codebase. Along the way, you'll learn the workflow by doing it.
**What we'll do:**
1. Pick a small, real task in your codebase
2. Explore the problem briefly
3. Create a change (the container for our work)
4. Build the artifacts: proposal → specs → design → tasks
5. Implement the tasks
6. Archive the completed change
**Time:** ~15-20 minutes
Let's start by finding something to work on.
```
---
## Phase 2: Task Selection
### Codebase Analysis
Scan the codebase for small improvement opportunities. Look for:
1. **TODO/FIXME comments** - Search for `TODO`, `FIXME`, `HACK`, `XXX` in code files
2. **Missing error handling** - `catch` blocks that swallow errors, risky operations without try-catch
3. **Functions without tests** - Cross-reference `src/` with test directories
4. **Type issues** - `any` types in TypeScript files (`: any`, `as any`)
5. **Debug artifacts** - `console.log`, `console.debug`, `debugger` statements in non-debug code
6. **Missing validation** - User input handlers without validation
Also check recent git activity:
```bash
# Unix/macOS
git log --oneline -10 2>/dev/null || echo "No git history"
# Windows (PowerShell)
# git log --oneline -10 2>$null; if ($LASTEXITCODE -ne 0) { echo "No git history" }
```
### Present Suggestions
From your analysis, present 3-4 specific suggestions:
```
## Task Suggestions
Based on scanning your codebase, here are some good starter tasks:
**1. [Most promising task]**
Location: `src/path/to/file.ts:42`
Scope: ~1-2 files, ~20-30 lines
Why it's good: [brief reason]
**2. [Second task]**
Location: `src/another/file.ts`
Scope: ~1 file, ~15 lines
Why it's good: [brief reason]
**3. [Third task]**
Location: [location]
Scope: [estimate]
Why it's good: [brief reason]
**4. Something else?**
Tell me what you'd like to work on.
Which task interests you? (Pick a number or describe your own)
```
**If nothing found:** Fall back to asking what the user wants to build:
> I didn't find obvious quick wins in your codebase. What's something small you've been meaning to add or fix?
### Scope Guardrail
If the user picks or describes something too large (major feature, multi-day work):
```
That's a valuable task, but it's probably larger than ideal for your first OpenSpec run-through.
For learning the workflow, smaller is better—it lets you see the full cycle without getting stuck in implementation details.
**Options:**
1. **Slice it smaller** - What's the smallest useful piece of [their task]? Maybe just [specific slice]?
2. **Pick something else** - One of the other suggestions, or a different small task?
3. **Do it anyway** - If you really want to tackle this, we can. Just know it'll take longer.
What would you prefer?
```
Let the user override if they insist—this is a soft guardrail.
---
## Phase 3: Explore Demo
Once a task is selected, briefly demonstrate explore mode:
```
Before we create a change, let me quickly show you **explore mode**—it's how you think through problems before committing to a direction.
```
Spend 1-2 minutes investigating the relevant code:
- Read the file(s) involved
- Draw a quick ASCII diagram if it helps
- Note any considerations
```
## Quick Exploration
[Your brief analysis—what you found, any considerations]
┌─────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ [Optional: ASCII diagram if helpful] │
└─────────────────────────────────────────┘
Explore mode (`/opsx-explore`) is for this kind of thinking—investigating before implementing. You can use it anytime you need to think through a problem.
Now let's create a change to hold our work.
```
**PAUSE** - Wait for user acknowledgment before proceeding.
---
## Phase 4: Create the Change
**EXPLAIN:**
```
## Creating a Change
A "change" in OpenSpec is a container for all the thinking and planning around a piece of work. It lives in `openspec/changes/<name>/` and holds your artifacts—proposal, specs, design, tasks.
Let me create one for our task.
```
**DO:** Create the change with a derived kebab-case name:
```bash
openspec new change "<derived-name>"
```
**SHOW:**
```
Created: `openspec/changes/<name>/`
The folder structure:
```
openspec/changes/<name>/
├── proposal.md ← Why we're doing this (empty, we'll fill it)
├── design.md ← How we'll build it (empty)
├── specs/ ← Detailed requirements (empty)
└── tasks.md ← Implementation checklist (empty)
```
Now let's fill in the first artifact—the proposal.
```
---
## Phase 5: Proposal
**EXPLAIN:**
```
## The Proposal
The proposal captures **why** we're making this change and **what** it involves at a high level. It's the "elevator pitch" for the work.
I'll draft one based on our task.
```
**DO:** Draft the proposal content (don't save yet):
```
Here's a draft proposal:
---
## Why
[1-2 sentences explaining the problem/opportunity]
## What Changes
[Bullet points of what will be different]
## Capabilities
### New Capabilities
- `<capability-name>`: [brief description]
### Modified Capabilities
<!-- If modifying existing behavior -->
## Impact
- `src/path/to/file.ts`: [what changes]
- [other files if applicable]
---
Does this capture the intent? I can adjust before we save it.
```
**PAUSE** - Wait for user approval/feedback.
After approval, save the proposal:
```bash
openspec instructions proposal --change "<name>" --json
```
Then write the content to `openspec/changes/<name>/proposal.md`.
```
Proposal saved. This is your "why" document—you can always come back and refine it as understanding evolves.
Next up: specs.
```
---
## Phase 6: Specs
**EXPLAIN:**
```
## Specs
Specs define **what** we're building in precise, testable terms. They use a requirement/scenario format that makes expected behavior crystal clear.
For a small task like this, we might only need one spec file.
```
**DO:** Create the spec file:
```bash
# Unix/macOS
mkdir -p openspec/changes/<name>/specs/<capability-name>
# Windows (PowerShell)
# New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force -Path "openspec/changes/<name>/specs/<capability-name>"
```
Draft the spec content:
```
Here's the spec:
---
## ADDED Requirements
### Requirement: <Name>
<Description of what the system should do>
#### Scenario: <Scenario name>
- **WHEN** <trigger condition>
- **THEN** <expected outcome>
- **AND** <additional outcome if needed>
---
This format—WHEN/THEN/AND—makes requirements testable. You can literally read them as test cases.
```
Save to `openspec/changes/<name>/specs/<capability>/spec.md`.
---
## Phase 7: Design
**EXPLAIN:**
```
## Design
The design captures **how** we'll build it—technical decisions, tradeoffs, approach.
For small changes, this might be brief. That's fine—not every change needs deep design discussion.
```
**DO:** Draft design.md:
```
Here's the design:
---
## Context
[Brief context about the current state]
## Goals / Non-Goals
**Goals:**
- [What we're trying to achieve]
**Non-Goals:**
- [What's explicitly out of scope]
## Decisions
### Decision 1: [Key decision]
[Explanation of approach and rationale]
---
For a small task, this captures the key decisions without over-engineering.
```
Save to `openspec/changes/<name>/design.md`.
---
## Phase 8: Tasks
**EXPLAIN:**
```
## Tasks
Finally, we break the work into implementation tasks—checkboxes that drive the apply phase.
These should be small, clear, and in logical order.
```
**DO:** Generate tasks based on specs and design:
```
Here are the implementation tasks:
---
## 1. [Category or file]
- [ ] 1.1 [Specific task]
- [ ] 1.2 [Specific task]
## 2. Verify
- [ ] 2.1 [Verification step]
---
Each checkbox becomes a unit of work in the apply phase. Ready to implement?
```
**PAUSE** - Wait for user to confirm they're ready to implement.
Save to `openspec/changes/<name>/tasks.md`.
---
## Phase 9: Apply (Implementation)
**EXPLAIN:**
```
## Implementation
Now we implement each task, checking them off as we go. I'll announce each one and occasionally note how the specs/design informed the approach.
```
**DO:** For each task:
1. Announce: "Working on task N: [description]"
2. Implement the change in the codebase
3. Reference specs/design naturally: "The spec says X, so I'm doing Y"
4. Mark complete in tasks.md: `- [ ]``- [x]`
5. Brief status: "✓ Task N complete"
Keep narration light—don't over-explain every line of code.
After all tasks:
```
## Implementation Complete
All tasks done:
- [x] Task 1
- [x] Task 2
- [x] ...
The change is implemented! One more step—let's archive it.
```
---
## Phase 10: Archive
**EXPLAIN:**
```
## Archiving
When a change is complete, we archive it. This moves it from `openspec/changes/` to `openspec/changes/archive/YYYY-MM-DD-<name>/`.
Archived changes become your project's decision history—you can always find them later to understand why something was built a certain way.
```
**DO:**
```bash
openspec archive "<name>"
```
**SHOW:**
```
Archived to: `openspec/changes/archive/YYYY-MM-DD-<name>/`
The change is now part of your project's history. The code is in your codebase, the decision record is preserved.
```
---
## Phase 11: Recap & Next Steps
```
## Congratulations!
You just completed a full OpenSpec cycle:
1. **Explore** - Thought through the problem
2. **New** - Created a change container
3. **Proposal** - Captured WHY
4. **Specs** - Defined WHAT in detail
5. **Design** - Decided HOW
6. **Tasks** - Broke it into steps
7. **Apply** - Implemented the work
8. **Archive** - Preserved the record
This same rhythm works for any size change—a small fix or a major feature.

## Command Reference
**Core workflow:**
| Command | What it does |
|---------|--------------|
| `/opsx-propose` | Create a change and generate all artifacts |
| `/opsx-explore` | Think through problems before/during work |
| `/opsx-apply` | Implement tasks from a change |
| `/opsx-archive` | Archive a completed change |
**Additional commands:**
| Command | What it does |
|---------|--------------|
| `/opsx-new` | Start a new change, step through artifacts one at a time |
| `/opsx-continue` | Continue working on an existing change |
| `/opsx-ff` | Fast-forward: create all artifacts at once |
| `/opsx-verify` | Verify implementation matches artifacts |
---
## What's Next?
Try `/opsx-propose` on something you actually want to build. You've got the rhythm now!
```
---
## Graceful Exit Handling
### User wants to stop mid-way
If the user says they need to stop, want to pause, or seem disengaged:
```
No problem! Your change is saved at `openspec/changes/<name>/`.
To pick up where we left off later:
- `/opsx-continue <name>` - Resume artifact creation
- `/opsx-apply <name>` - Jump to implementation (if tasks exist)
The work won't be lost. Come back whenever you're ready.
```
Exit gracefully without pressure.
### User just wants command reference
If the user says they just want to see the commands or skip the tutorial:
```

## Guardrails
- **Follow the EXPLAIN → DO → SHOW → PAUSE pattern** at key transitions (after explore, after proposal draft, after tasks, after archive)
- **Keep narration light** during implementation—teach without lecturing
- **Don't skip phases** even if the change is small—the goal is teaching the workflow
- **Pause for acknowledgment** at marked points, but don't over-pause
- **Handle exits gracefully**—never pressure the user to continue
- **Use real codebase tasks**—don't simulate or use fake examples
- **Adjust scope gently**—guide toward smaller tasks but respect user choice

description: Sync delta specs from a change to main specs
---
Sync delta specs from a change to main specs.
This is an **agent-driven** operation - you will read delta specs and directly edit main specs to apply the changes. This allows intelligent merging (e.g., adding a scenario without copying the entire requirement).
**Input**: Optionally specify a change name after `/opsx-sync` (e.g., `/opsx-sync add-auth`). If omitted, check if it can be inferred from conversation context. If vague or ambiguous you MUST prompt for available changes.
**Steps**
1. **If no change name provided, prompt for selection**
Run `openspec list --json` to get available changes. Use the **AskUserQuestion tool** to let the user select.
Show changes that have delta specs (under `specs/` directory).
**IMPORTANT**: Do NOT guess or auto-select a change. Always let the user choose.
2. **Find delta specs**
Look for delta spec files in `openspec/changes/<name>/specs/*/spec.md`.
Each delta spec file contains sections like:
- `## ADDED Requirements` - New requirements to add
- `## MODIFIED Requirements` - Changes to existing requirements
- `## REMOVED Requirements` - Requirements to remove
- `## RENAMED Requirements` - Requirements to rename (FROM:/TO: format)
If no delta specs found, inform user and stop.
3. **For each delta spec, apply changes to main specs**
For each capability with a delta spec at `openspec/changes/<name>/specs/<capability>/spec.md`:
a. **Read the delta spec** to understand the intended changes
b. **Read the main spec** at `openspec/specs/<capability>/spec.md` (may not exist yet)
c. **Apply changes intelligently**:
**ADDED Requirements:**
- If requirement doesn't exist in main spec → add it
- If requirement already exists → update it to match (treat as implicit MODIFIED)
**MODIFIED Requirements:**
- Find the requirement in main spec
- Apply the changes - this can be:
- Adding new scenarios (don't need to copy existing ones)
- Modifying existing scenarios
- Changing the requirement description
- Preserve scenarios/content not mentioned in the delta
**REMOVED Requirements:**
- Remove the entire requirement block from main spec
**RENAMED Requirements:**
- Find the FROM requirement, rename to TO
d. **Create new main spec** if capability doesn't exist yet:
- Create `openspec/specs/<capability>/spec.md`
- Add Purpose section (can be brief, mark as TBD)
- Add Requirements section with the ADDED requirements
4. **Show summary**
After applying all changes, summarize:
- Which capabilities were updated
- What changes were made (requirements added/modified/removed/renamed)
**Delta Spec Format Reference**
```markdown
## ADDED Requirements
### Requirement: New Feature
The system SHALL do something new.
#### Scenario: Basic case
- **WHEN** user does X
- **THEN** system does Y
## MODIFIED Requirements
### Requirement: Existing Feature
#### Scenario: New scenario to add
- **WHEN** user does A
- **THEN** system does B
## REMOVED Requirements
### Requirement: Deprecated Feature
## RENAMED Requirements
- FROM: `### Requirement: Old Name`
- TO: `### Requirement: New Name`
```
**Key Principle: Intelligent Merging**
Unlike programmatic merging, you can apply **partial updates**:
- To add a scenario, just include that scenario under MODIFIED - don't copy existing scenarios
- The delta represents *intent*, not a wholesale replacement
- Use your judgment to merge changes sensibly
**Output On Success**
```
## Specs Synced: <change-name>
Updated main specs:
**<capability-1>**:
- Added requirement: "New Feature"
- Modified requirement: "Existing Feature" (added 1 scenario)
**<capability-2>**:
- Created new spec file
- Added requirement: "Another Feature"
Main specs are now updated. The change remains active - archive when implementation is complete.
```
**Guardrails**
- Read both delta and main specs before making changes
- Preserve existing content not mentioned in delta
- If something is unclear, ask for clarification
- Show what you're changing as you go
- The operation should be idempotent - running twice should give same result

description: Verify implementation matches change artifacts before archiving
---
Verify that an implementation matches the change artifacts (specs, tasks, design).
**Input**: Optionally specify a change name after `/opsx-verify` (e.g., `/opsx-verify add-auth`). If omitted, check if it can be inferred from conversation context. If vague or ambiguous you MUST prompt for available changes.
**Steps**
1. **If no change name provided, prompt for selection**
Run `openspec list --json` to get available changes. Use the **AskUserQuestion tool** to let the user select.
Show changes that have implementation tasks (tasks artifact exists).
Include the schema used for each change if available.
Mark changes with incomplete tasks as "(In Progress)".
**IMPORTANT**: Do NOT guess or auto-select a change. Always let the user choose.
2. **Check status to understand the schema**
```bash
openspec status --change "<name>" --json
```
Parse the JSON to understand:
- `schemaName`: The workflow being used (e.g., "spec-driven")
- Which artifacts exist for this change
3. **Get the change directory and load artifacts**
```bash
openspec instructions apply --change "<name>" --json
```
This returns the change directory and context files. Read all available artifacts from `contextFiles`.
4. **Initialize verification report structure**
Create a report structure with three dimensions:
- **Completeness**: Track tasks and spec coverage
- **Correctness**: Track requirement implementation and scenario coverage
- **Coherence**: Track design adherence and pattern consistency
Each dimension can have CRITICAL, WARNING, or SUGGESTION issues.
5. **Verify Completeness**
**Task Completion**:
- If tasks.md exists in contextFiles, read it
- Parse checkboxes: `- [ ]` (incomplete) vs `- [x]` (complete)
- Count complete vs total tasks
- If incomplete tasks exist:
- Add CRITICAL issue for each incomplete task
- Recommendation: "Complete task: <description>" or "Mark as done if already implemented"
**Spec Coverage**:
- If delta specs exist in `openspec/changes/<name>/specs/`:
- Extract all requirements (marked with "### Requirement:")
- For each requirement:
- Search codebase for keywords related to the requirement
- Assess if implementation likely exists
- If requirements appear unimplemented:
- Add CRITICAL issue: "Requirement not found: <requirement name>"
- Recommendation: "Implement requirement X: <description>"
6. **Verify Correctness**
**Requirement Implementation Mapping**:
- For each requirement from delta specs:
- Search codebase for implementation evidence
- If found, note file paths and line ranges
- Assess if implementation matches requirement intent
- If divergence detected:
- Add WARNING: "Implementation may diverge from spec: <details>"
- Recommendation: "Review <file>:<lines> against requirement X"
**Scenario Coverage**:
- For each scenario in delta specs (marked with "#### Scenario:"):
- Check if conditions are handled in code
- Check if tests exist covering the scenario
- If scenario appears uncovered:
- Add WARNING: "Scenario not covered: <scenario name>"
- Recommendation: "Add test or implementation for scenario: <description>"
7. **Verify Coherence**
**Design Adherence**:
- If design.md exists in contextFiles:
- Extract key decisions (look for sections like "Decision:", "Approach:", "Architecture:")
- Verify implementation follows those decisions
- If contradiction detected:
- Add WARNING: "Design decision not followed: <decision>"
- Recommendation: "Update implementation or revise design.md to match reality"
- If no design.md: Skip design adherence check, note "No design.md to verify against"
**Code Pattern Consistency**:
- Review new code for consistency with project patterns
- Check file naming, directory structure, coding style
- If significant deviations found:
- Add SUGGESTION: "Code pattern deviation: <details>"
- Recommendation: "Consider following project pattern: <example>"
8. **Generate Verification Report**
**Summary Scorecard**:
```
## Verification Report: <change-name>
### Summary
| Dimension | Status |
|--------------|------------------|
| Completeness | X/Y tasks, N reqs|
| Correctness | M/N reqs covered |
| Coherence | Followed/Issues |
```
**Issues by Priority**:
1. **CRITICAL** (Must fix before archive):
- Incomplete tasks
- Missing requirement implementations
- Each with specific, actionable recommendation
2. **WARNING** (Should fix):
- Spec/design divergences
- Missing scenario coverage
- Each with specific recommendation
3. **SUGGESTION** (Nice to fix):
- Pattern inconsistencies
- Minor improvements
- Each with specific recommendation
**Final Assessment**:
- If CRITICAL issues: "X critical issue(s) found. Fix before archiving."
- If only warnings: "No critical issues. Y warning(s) to consider. Ready for archive (with noted improvements)."
- If all clear: "All checks passed. Ready for archive."
**Verification Heuristics**
- **Completeness**: Focus on objective checklist items (checkboxes, requirements list)
- **Correctness**: Use keyword search, file path analysis, reasonable inference - don't require perfect certainty
- **Coherence**: Look for glaring inconsistencies, don't nitpick style
- **False Positives**: When uncertain, prefer SUGGESTION over WARNING, WARNING over CRITICAL
- **Actionability**: Every issue must have a specific recommendation with file/line references where applicable
**Graceful Degradation**
- If only tasks.md exists: verify task completion only, skip spec/design checks
- If tasks + specs exist: verify completeness and correctness, skip design
- If full artifacts: verify all three dimensions
- Always note which checks were skipped and why
**Output Format**
Use clear markdown with:
- Table for summary scorecard
- Grouped lists for issues (CRITICAL/WARNING/SUGGESTION)
- Code references in format: `file.ts:123`
- Specific, actionable recommendations
- No vague suggestions like "consider reviewing"

name: openspec-bulk-archive-change
description: Archive multiple completed changes at once. Use when archiving several parallel changes.
license: MIT
compatibility: Requires openspec CLI.
metadata:
author: openspec
version: "1.0"
generatedBy: "1.2.0"
---
Archive multiple completed changes in a single operation.
This skill allows you to batch-archive changes, handling spec conflicts intelligently by checking the codebase to determine what's actually implemented.
**Input**: None required (prompts for selection)
**Steps**
1. **Get active changes**
Run `openspec list --json` to get all active changes.
If no active changes exist, inform user and stop.
2. **Prompt for change selection**
Use **AskUserQuestion tool** with multi-select to let user choose changes:
- Show each change with its schema
- Include an option for "All changes"
- Allow any number of selections (1+ works, 2+ is the typical use case)
**IMPORTANT**: Do NOT auto-select. Always let the user choose.
3. **Batch validation - gather status for all selected changes**
For each selected change, collect:
a. **Artifact status** - Run `openspec status --change "<name>" --json`
- Parse `schemaName` and `artifacts` list
- Note which artifacts are `done` vs other states
b. **Task completion** - Read `openspec/changes/<name>/tasks.md`
- Count `- [ ]` (incomplete) vs `- [x]` (complete)
- If no tasks file exists, note as "No tasks"
c. **Delta specs** - Check `openspec/changes/<name>/specs/` directory
- List which capability specs exist
- For each, extract requirement names (lines matching `### Requirement: <name>`)
4. **Detect spec conflicts**
Build a map of `capability -> [changes that touch it]`:
```
auth -> [change-a, change-b] <- CONFLICT (2+ changes)
api -> [change-c] <- OK (only 1 change)
```
A conflict exists when 2+ selected changes have delta specs for the same capability.
5. **Resolve conflicts agentically**
**For each conflict**, investigate the codebase:
a. **Read the delta specs** from each conflicting change to understand what each claims to add/modify
b. **Search the codebase** for implementation evidence:
- Look for code implementing requirements from each delta spec
- Check for related files, functions, or tests
c. **Determine resolution**:
- If only one change is actually implemented -> sync that one's specs
- If both implemented -> apply in chronological order (older first, newer overwrites)
- If neither implemented -> skip spec sync, warn user
d. **Record resolution** for each conflict:
- Which change's specs to apply
- In what order (if both)
- Rationale (what was found in codebase)
6. **Show consolidated status table**
Display a table summarizing all changes:
```
| Change | Artifacts | Tasks | Specs | Conflicts | Status |
|---------------------|-----------|-------|---------|-----------|--------|
| schema-management | Done | 5/5 | 2 delta | None | Ready |
| project-config | Done | 3/3 | 1 delta | None | Ready |
| add-oauth | Done | 4/4 | 1 delta | auth (!) | Ready* |
| add-verify-skill | 1 left | 2/5 | None | None | Warn |
```
For conflicts, show the resolution:
```
* Conflict resolution:
- auth spec: Will apply add-oauth then add-jwt (both implemented, chronological order)
```
For incomplete changes, show warnings:
```
Warnings:
- add-verify-skill: 1 incomplete artifact, 3 incomplete tasks
```
7. **Confirm batch operation**
Use **AskUserQuestion tool** with a single confirmation:
- "Archive N changes?" with options based on status
- Options might include:
- "Archive all N changes"
- "Archive only N ready changes (skip incomplete)"
- "Cancel"
If there are incomplete changes, make clear they'll be archived with warnings.
8. **Execute archive for each confirmed change**
Process changes in the determined order (respecting conflict resolution):
a. **Sync specs** if delta specs exist:
- Use the openspec-sync-specs approach (agent-driven intelligent merge)
- For conflicts, apply in resolved order
- Track if sync was done
b. **Perform the archive**:
```bash
mkdir -p openspec/changes/archive
mv openspec/changes/<name> openspec/changes/archive/YYYY-MM-DD-<name>
```
c. **Track outcome** for each change:
- Success: archived successfully
- Failed: error during archive (record error)
- Skipped: user chose not to archive (if applicable)
9. **Display summary**
Show final results:
```
## Bulk Archive Complete
Archived 3 changes:
- schema-management-cli -> archive/2026-01-19-schema-management-cli/
- project-config -> archive/2026-01-19-project-config/
- add-oauth -> archive/2026-01-19-add-oauth/
Skipped 1 change:
- add-verify-skill (user chose not to archive incomplete)
Spec sync summary:
- 4 delta specs synced to main specs
- 1 conflict resolved (auth: applied both in chronological order)
```
If any failures:
```
Failed 1 change:
- some-change: Archive directory already exists
```
**Conflict Resolution Examples**
Example 1: Only one implemented
```
Conflict: specs/auth/spec.md touched by [add-oauth, add-jwt]
Checking add-oauth:
- Delta adds "OAuth Provider Integration" requirement
- Searching codebase... found src/auth/oauth.ts implementing OAuth flow
Checking add-jwt:
- Delta adds "JWT Token Handling" requirement
- Searching codebase... no JWT implementation found
Resolution: Only add-oauth is implemented. Will sync add-oauth specs only.
```
Example 2: Both implemented
```
Conflict: specs/api/spec.md touched by [add-rest-api, add-graphql]
Checking add-rest-api (created 2026-01-10):
- Delta adds "REST Endpoints" requirement
- Searching codebase... found src/api/rest.ts
Checking add-graphql (created 2026-01-15):
- Delta adds "GraphQL Schema" requirement
- Searching codebase... found src/api/graphql.ts
Resolution: Both implemented. Will apply add-rest-api specs first,
then add-graphql specs (chronological order, newer takes precedence).
```
**Output On Success**
```
## Bulk Archive Complete
Archived N changes:
- <change-1> -> archive/YYYY-MM-DD-<change-1>/
- <change-2> -> archive/YYYY-MM-DD-<change-2>/
Spec sync summary:
- N delta specs synced to main specs
- No conflicts (or: M conflicts resolved)
```
**Output On Partial Success**
```
## Bulk Archive Complete (partial)
Archived N changes:
- <change-1> -> archive/YYYY-MM-DD-<change-1>/
Skipped M changes:
- <change-2> (user chose not to archive incomplete)
Failed K changes:
- <change-3>: Archive directory already exists
```
**Output When No Changes**
```
## No Changes to Archive
No active changes found. Create a new change to get started.
```
**Guardrails**
- Allow any number of changes (1+ is fine, 2+ is the typical use case)
- Always prompt for selection, never auto-select
- Detect spec conflicts early and resolve by checking codebase
- When both changes are implemented, apply specs in chronological order
- Skip spec sync only when implementation is missing (warn user)
- Show clear per-change status before confirming
- Use single confirmation for entire batch
- Track and report all outcomes (success/skip/fail)
- Preserve .openspec.yaml when moving to archive
- Archive directory target uses current date: YYYY-MM-DD-<name>
- If archive target exists, fail that change but continue with others

Continue working on a change by creating the next artifact.
**Input**: Optionally specify a change name. If omitted, check if it can be inferred from conversation context. If vague or ambiguous you MUST prompt for available changes.
**Steps**
1. **If no change name provided, prompt for selection**
Run `openspec list --json` to get available changes sorted by most recently modified. Then use the **AskUserQuestion tool** to let the user select which change to work on.
Present the top 3-4 most recently modified changes as options, showing:
- Change name
- Schema (from `schema` field if present, otherwise "spec-driven")
- Status (e.g., "0/5 tasks", "complete", "no tasks")
- How recently it was modified (from `lastModified` field)
Mark the most recently modified change as "(Recommended)" since it's likely what the user wants to continue.
**IMPORTANT**: Do NOT guess or auto-select a change. Always let the user choose.
2. **Check current status**
```bash
openspec status --change "<name>" --json
```
Parse the JSON to understand current state. The response includes:
- `schemaName`: The workflow schema being used (e.g., "spec-driven")
- `artifacts`: Array of artifacts with their status ("done", "ready", "blocked")
- `isComplete`: Boolean indicating if all artifacts are complete
3. **Act based on status**:
---
**If all artifacts are complete (`isComplete: true`)**:
- Congratulate the user
- Show final status including the schema used
- Suggest: "All artifacts created! You can now implement this change or archive it."
- STOP
---
**If artifacts are ready to create** (status shows artifacts with `status: "ready"`):
- Pick the FIRST artifact with `status: "ready"` from the status output
- Get its instructions:
```bash
openspec instructions <artifact-id> --change "<name>" --json
```
- Parse the JSON. The key fields are:
- `context`: Project background (constraints for you - do NOT include in output)
- `rules`: Artifact-specific rules (constraints for you - do NOT include in output)
- `template`: The structure to use for your output file
- `instruction`: Schema-specific guidance
- `outputPath`: Where to write the artifact
- `dependencies`: Completed artifacts to read for context
- **Create the artifact file**:
- Read any completed dependency files for context
- Use `template` as the structure - fill in its sections
- Apply `context` and `rules` as constraints when writing - but do NOT copy them into the file
- Write to the output path specified in instructions
- Show what was created and what's now unlocked
- STOP after creating ONE artifact
---
**If no artifacts are ready (all blocked)**:
- This shouldn't happen with a valid schema
- Show status and suggest checking for issues
4. **After creating an artifact, show progress**
```bash
openspec status --change "<name>"
```
**Output**
After each invocation, show:
- Which artifact was created
- Schema workflow being used
- Current progress (N/M complete)
- What artifacts are now unlocked
- Prompt: "Want to continue? Just ask me to continue or tell me what to do next."
**Artifact Creation Guidelines**
The artifact types and their purpose depend on the schema. Use the `instruction` field from the instructions output to understand what to create.
Common artifact patterns:
**spec-driven schema** (proposal → specs → design → tasks):
- **proposal.md**: Ask user about the change if not clear. Fill in Why, What Changes, Capabilities, Impact.
- The Capabilities section is critical - each capability listed will need a spec file.
- **specs/<capability>/spec.md**: Create one spec per capability listed in the proposal's Capabilities section (use the capability name, not the change name).
- **design.md**: Document technical decisions, architecture, and implementation approach.
- **tasks.md**: Break down implementation into checkboxed tasks.
For other schemas, follow the `instruction` field from the CLI output.
**Guardrails**
- Create ONE artifact per invocation
- Always read dependency artifacts before creating a new one
- Never skip artifacts or create out of order
- If context is unclear, ask the user before creating
- Verify the artifact file exists after writing before marking progress
- Use the schema's artifact sequence, don't assume specific artifact names
- **IMPORTANT**: `context` and `rules` are constraints for YOU, not content for the file
- Do NOT copy `<context>`, `<rules>`, `<project_context>` blocks into the artifact
- These guide what you write, but should never appear in the output

metadata:
author: openspec
version: "1.0"

---
Fast-forward through artifact creation - generate everything needed to start implementation in one go.
**Input**: The user's request should include a change name (kebab-case) OR a description of what they want to build.
**Steps**
1. **If no clear input provided, ask what they want to build**
Use the **AskUserQuestion tool** (open-ended, no preset options) to ask:
> "What change do you want to work on? Describe what you want to build or fix."
From their description, derive a kebab-case name (e.g., "add user authentication" → `add-user-auth`).
**IMPORTANT**: Do NOT proceed without understanding what the user wants to build.
2. **Create the change directory**
```bash
openspec new change "<name>"
```
This creates a scaffolded change at `openspec/changes/<name>/`.
3. **Get the artifact build order**
```bash
openspec status --change "<name>" --json
```
Parse the JSON to get:
- `applyRequires`: array of artifact IDs needed before implementation (e.g., `["tasks"]`)
- `artifacts`: list of all artifacts with their status and dependencies
4. **Create artifacts in sequence until apply-ready**
Use the **TodoWrite tool** to track progress through the artifacts.
Loop through artifacts in dependency order (artifacts with no pending dependencies first):
a. **For each artifact that is `ready` (dependencies satisfied)**:
- Get instructions:
```bash
openspec instructions <artifact-id> --change "<name>" --json
```
- The instructions JSON includes:
- `context`: Project background (constraints for you - do NOT include in output)
- `rules`: Artifact-specific rules (constraints for you - do NOT include in output)
- `template`: The structure to use for your output file
- `instruction`: Schema-specific guidance for this artifact type
- `outputPath`: Where to write the artifact
- `dependencies`: Completed artifacts to read for context
- Read any completed dependency files for context
- Create the artifact file using `template` as the structure
- Apply `context` and `rules` as constraints - but do NOT copy them into the file
- Show brief progress: "✓ Created <artifact-id>"
b. **Continue until all `applyRequires` artifacts are complete**
- After creating each artifact, re-run `openspec status --change "<name>" --json`
- Check if every artifact ID in `applyRequires` has `status: "done"` in the artifacts array
- Stop when all `applyRequires` artifacts are done
c. **If an artifact requires user input** (unclear context):
- Use **AskUserQuestion tool** to clarify
- Then continue with creation
5. **Show final status**
```bash
openspec status --change "<name>"
```
**Output**
After completing all artifacts, summarize:
- Change name and location
- List of artifacts created with brief descriptions
- What's ready: "All artifacts created! Ready for implementation."
- Prompt: "Run `/opsx-apply` or ask me to implement to start working on the tasks."
**Artifact Creation Guidelines**
- Follow the `instruction` field from `openspec instructions` for each artifact type
- The schema defines what each artifact should contain - follow it
- Read dependency artifacts for context before creating new ones
- Use `template` as the structure for your output file - fill in its sections
- **IMPORTANT**: `context` and `rules` are constraints for YOU, not content for the file
- Do NOT copy `<context>`, `<rules>`, `<project_context>` blocks into the artifact
- These guide what you write, but should never appear in the output
**Guardrails**
- Create ALL artifacts needed for implementation (as defined by schema's `apply.requires`)
- Always read dependency artifacts before creating a new one
- If context is critically unclear, ask the user - but prefer making reasonable decisions to keep momentum
- If a change with that name already exists, suggest continuing that change instead
- Verify each artifact file exists after writing before proceeding to next

name: openspec-new-change
description: Start a new OpenSpec change using the experimental artifact workflow. Use when the user wants to create a new feature, fix, or modification with a structured step-by-step approach.
license: MIT
compatibility: Requires openspec CLI.
metadata:
author: openspec

generatedBy: "1.2.0"
---
Start a new change using the experimental artifact-driven approach.
**Input**: The user's request should include a change name (kebab-case) OR a description of what they want to build.
**Steps**
1. **If no clear input provided, ask what they want to build**
Use the **AskUserQuestion tool** (open-ended, no preset options) to ask:
> "What change do you want to work on? Describe what you want to build or fix."
From their description, derive a kebab-case name (e.g., "add user authentication" → `add-user-auth`).
**IMPORTANT**: Do NOT proceed without understanding what the user wants to build.
2. **Determine the workflow schema**
Use the default schema (omit `--schema`) unless the user explicitly requests a different workflow.
**Use a different schema only if the user mentions:**
- A specific schema name → use `--schema <name>`
- "show workflows" or "what workflows" → run `openspec schemas --json` and let them choose
**Otherwise**: Omit `--schema` to use the default.
3. **Create the change directory**
```bash
openspec new change "<name>"
```
Add `--schema <name>` only if the user requested a specific workflow.
This creates a scaffolded change at `openspec/changes/<name>/` with the selected schema.
4. **Show the artifact status**
```bash
openspec status --change "<name>"
```
This shows which artifacts need to be created and which are ready (dependencies satisfied).
5. **Get instructions for the first artifact**
The first artifact depends on the schema (e.g., `proposal` for spec-driven).
Check the status output to find the first artifact with status "ready".
```bash
openspec instructions <first-artifact-id> --change "<name>"
```
This outputs the template and context for creating the first artifact.
6. **STOP and wait for user direction**
**Output**
After completing the steps, summarize:
- Change name and location
- Schema/workflow being used and its artifact sequence
- Current status (0/N artifacts complete)
- The template for the first artifact
- Prompt: "Ready to create the first artifact? Just describe what this change is about and I'll draft it, or ask me to continue."
**Guardrails**
- Do NOT create any artifacts yet - just show the instructions
- Do NOT advance beyond showing the first artifact template
- If the name is invalid (not kebab-case), ask for a valid name
- If a change with that name already exists, suggest continuing that change instead
- Pass --schema if using a non-default workflow

Guide the user through their first complete OpenSpec workflow cycle. This is a teaching experience—you'll do real work in their codebase while explaining each step.
---
## Preflight
Before starting, check if the OpenSpec CLI is installed:
```bash
# Unix/macOS
openspec --version 2>&1 || echo "CLI_NOT_INSTALLED"
# Windows (PowerShell)
# if (Get-Command openspec -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue) { openspec --version } else { echo "CLI_NOT_INSTALLED" }
```
**If CLI not installed:**
> OpenSpec CLI is not installed. Install it first, then come back to `/opsx-onboard`.
Stop here if not installed.

## Phase 1: Welcome
Display:
```
## Welcome to OpenSpec!
I'll walk you through a complete change cycle—from idea to implementation—using a real task in your codebase. Along the way, you'll learn the workflow by doing it.
**What we'll do:**
1. Pick a small, real task in your codebase
2. Explore the problem briefly
3. Create a change (the container for our work)
4. Build the artifacts: proposal → specs → design → tasks
5. Implement the tasks
6. Archive the completed change
**Time:** ~15-20 minutes
Let's start by finding something to work on.
```
---
## Phase 2: Task Selection
### Codebase Analysis
Scan the codebase for small improvement opportunities. Look for:
1. **TODO/FIXME comments** - Search for `TODO`, `FIXME`, `HACK`, `XXX` in code files
2. **Missing error handling** - `catch` blocks that swallow errors, risky operations without try-catch
3. **Functions without tests** - Cross-reference `src/` with test directories
4. **Type issues** - `any` types in TypeScript files (`: any`, `as any`)
5. **Debug artifacts** - `console.log`, `console.debug`, `debugger` statements in non-debug code
6. **Missing validation** - User input handlers without validation
Also check recent git activity:
```bash
# Unix/macOS
git log --oneline -10 2>/dev/null || echo "No git history"
# Windows (PowerShell)
# git log --oneline -10 2>$null; if ($LASTEXITCODE -ne 0) { echo "No git history" }
```
### Present Suggestions
From your analysis, present 3-4 specific suggestions:
```
## Task Suggestions
Based on scanning your codebase, here are some good starter tasks:
**1. [Most promising task]**
Location: `src/path/to/file.ts:42`
Scope: ~1-2 files, ~20-30 lines
Why it's good: [brief reason]
**2. [Second task]**
Location: `src/another/file.ts`
Scope: ~1 file, ~15 lines
Why it's good: [brief reason]
**3. [Third task]**
Location: [location]
Scope: [estimate]
Why it's good: [brief reason]
**4. Something else?**
Tell me what you'd like to work on.
Which task interests you? (Pick a number or describe your own)
```
**If nothing found:** Fall back to asking what the user wants to build:
> I didn't find obvious quick wins in your codebase. What's something small you've been meaning to add or fix?
### Scope Guardrail
If the user picks or describes something too large (major feature, multi-day work):
```
That's a valuable task, but it's probably larger than ideal for your first OpenSpec run-through.
For learning the workflow, smaller is better—it lets you see the full cycle without getting stuck in implementation details.
**Options:**
1. **Slice it smaller** - What's the smallest useful piece of [their task]? Maybe just [specific slice]?
2. **Pick something else** - One of the other suggestions, or a different small task?
3. **Do it anyway** - If you really want to tackle this, we can. Just know it'll take longer.
What would you prefer?
```
Let the user override if they insist—this is a soft guardrail.
---
## Phase 3: Explore Demo
Once a task is selected, briefly demonstrate explore mode:
```
Before we create a change, let me quickly show you **explore mode**—it's how you think through problems before committing to a direction.
```
Spend 1-2 minutes investigating the relevant code:
- Read the file(s) involved
- Draw a quick ASCII diagram if it helps
- Note any considerations
```
## Quick Exploration
[Your brief analysis—what you found, any considerations]
┌─────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ [Optional: ASCII diagram if helpful] │
└─────────────────────────────────────────┘
Explore mode (`/opsx-explore`) is for this kind of thinking—investigating before implementing. You can use it anytime you need to think through a problem.
Now let's create a change to hold our work.
```
**PAUSE** - Wait for user acknowledgment before proceeding.
---
## Phase 4: Create the Change
**EXPLAIN:**
```
## Creating a Change
A "change" in OpenSpec is a container for all the thinking and planning around a piece of work. It lives in `openspec/changes/<name>/` and holds your artifacts—proposal, specs, design, tasks.
Let me create one for our task.
```
**DO:** Create the change with a derived kebab-case name:
```bash
openspec new change "<derived-name>"
```
**SHOW:**
```
Created: `openspec/changes/<name>/`
The folder structure:
```
openspec/changes/<name>/
├── proposal.md ← Why we're doing this (empty, we'll fill it)
├── design.md ← How we'll build it (empty)
├── specs/ ← Detailed requirements (empty)
└── tasks.md ← Implementation checklist (empty)
```
Now let's fill in the first artifact—the proposal.
```
---
## Phase 5: Proposal
**EXPLAIN:**
```
## The Proposal
The proposal captures **why** we're making this change and **what** it involves at a high level. It's the "elevator pitch" for the work.
I'll draft one based on our task.
```
**DO:** Draft the proposal content (don't save yet):
```
Here's a draft proposal:
---
## Why
[1-2 sentences explaining the problem/opportunity]
## What Changes
[Bullet points of what will be different]
## Capabilities
### New Capabilities
- `<capability-name>`: [brief description]
### Modified Capabilities
<!-- If modifying existing behavior -->
## Impact
- `src/path/to/file.ts`: [what changes]
- [other files if applicable]
---
Does this capture the intent? I can adjust before we save it.
```
**PAUSE** - Wait for user approval/feedback.
After approval, save the proposal:
```bash
openspec instructions proposal --change "<name>" --json
```
Then write the content to `openspec/changes/<name>/proposal.md`.
```
Proposal saved. This is your "why" document—you can always come back and refine it as understanding evolves.
Next up: specs.
```
---
## Phase 6: Specs
**EXPLAIN:**
```
## Specs
Specs define **what** we're building in precise, testable terms. They use a requirement/scenario format that makes expected behavior crystal clear.
For a small task like this, we might only need one spec file.
```
**DO:** Create the spec file:
```bash
# Unix/macOS
mkdir -p openspec/changes/<name>/specs/<capability-name>
# Windows (PowerShell)
# New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force -Path "openspec/changes/<name>/specs/<capability-name>"
```
Draft the spec content:
```
Here's the spec:
---
## ADDED Requirements
### Requirement: <Name>
<Description of what the system should do>
#### Scenario: <Scenario name>
- **WHEN** <trigger condition>
- **THEN** <expected outcome>
- **AND** <additional outcome if needed>
---
This format—WHEN/THEN/AND—makes requirements testable. You can literally read them as test cases.
```
Save to `openspec/changes/<name>/specs/<capability>/spec.md`.
---
## Phase 7: Design
**EXPLAIN:**
```
## Design
The design captures **how** we'll build it—technical decisions, tradeoffs, approach.
For small changes, this might be brief. That's fine—not every change needs deep design discussion.
```
**DO:** Draft design.md:
```
Here's the design:
---
## Context
[Brief context about the current state]
## Goals / Non-Goals
**Goals:**
- [What we're trying to achieve]
**Non-Goals:**
- [What's explicitly out of scope]
## Decisions
### Decision 1: [Key decision]
[Explanation of approach and rationale]
---
For a small task, this captures the key decisions without over-engineering.
```
Save to `openspec/changes/<name>/design.md`.
---
## Phase 8: Tasks
**EXPLAIN:**
```
## Tasks
Finally, we break the work into implementation tasks—checkboxes that drive the apply phase.
These should be small, clear, and in logical order.
```
**DO:** Generate tasks based on specs and design:
```
Here are the implementation tasks:
---
## 1. [Category or file]
- [ ] 1.1 [Specific task]
- [ ] 1.2 [Specific task]
## 2. Verify
- [ ] 2.1 [Verification step]
---
Each checkbox becomes a unit of work in the apply phase. Ready to implement?
```
**PAUSE** - Wait for user to confirm they're ready to implement.
Save to `openspec/changes/<name>/tasks.md`.
---
## Phase 9: Apply (Implementation)
**EXPLAIN:**
```
## Implementation
Now we implement each task, checking them off as we go. I'll announce each one and occasionally note how the specs/design informed the approach.
```
**DO:** For each task:
1. Announce: "Working on task N: [description]"
2. Implement the change in the codebase
3. Reference specs/design naturally: "The spec says X, so I'm doing Y"
4. Mark complete in tasks.md: `- [ ]``- [x]`
5. Brief status: "✓ Task N complete"
Keep narration light—don't over-explain every line of code.
After all tasks:
```
## Implementation Complete
All tasks done:
- [x] Task 1
- [x] Task 2
- [x] ...
The change is implemented! One more step—let's archive it.
```
---
## Phase 10: Archive
**EXPLAIN:**
```
## Archiving
When a change is complete, we archive it. This moves it from `openspec/changes/` to `openspec/changes/archive/YYYY-MM-DD-<name>/`.
Archived changes become your project's decision history—you can always find them later to understand why something was built a certain way.
```
**DO:**
```bash
openspec archive "<name>"
```
**SHOW:**
```
Archived to: `openspec/changes/archive/YYYY-MM-DD-<name>/`
The change is now part of your project's history. The code is in your codebase, the decision record is preserved.
```
---
## Phase 11: Recap & Next Steps
```
## Congratulations!
You just completed a full OpenSpec cycle:
1. **Explore** - Thought through the problem
2. **New** - Created a change container
3. **Proposal** - Captured WHY
4. **Specs** - Defined WHAT in detail
5. **Design** - Decided HOW
6. **Tasks** - Broke it into steps
7. **Apply** - Implemented the work
8. **Archive** - Preserved the record
This same rhythm works for any size change—a small fix or a major feature.

## Command Reference
**Core workflow:**
| Command | What it does |
|---------|--------------|
| `/opsx-propose` | Create a change and generate all artifacts |
| `/opsx-explore` | Think through problems before/during work |
| `/opsx-apply` | Implement tasks from a change |
| `/opsx-archive` | Archive a completed change |
**Additional commands:**
| Command | What it does |
|---------|--------------|
| `/opsx-new` | Start a new change, step through artifacts one at a time |
| `/opsx-continue` | Continue working on an existing change |
| `/opsx-ff` | Fast-forward: create all artifacts at once |
| `/opsx-verify` | Verify implementation matches artifacts |
---
## What's Next?
Try `/opsx-propose` on something you actually want to build. You've got the rhythm now!
```
---
## Graceful Exit Handling
### User wants to stop mid-way
If the user says they need to stop, want to pause, or seem disengaged:
```
No problem! Your change is saved at `openspec/changes/<name>/`.
To pick up where we left off later:
- `/opsx-continue <name>` - Resume artifact creation
- `/opsx-apply <name>` - Jump to implementation (if tasks exist)
The work won't be lost. Come back whenever you're ready.
```
Exit gracefully without pressure.
### User just wants command reference
If the user says they just want to see the commands or skip the tutorial:
```
## OpenSpec Quick Reference
**Core workflow:**
| Command | What it does |
|---------|--------------|
| `/opsx-propose <name>` | Create a change and generate all artifacts |
| `/opsx-explore` | Think through problems (no code changes) |
| `/opsx-apply <name>` | Implement tasks |
| `/opsx-archive <name>` | Archive when done |
**Additional commands:**
| Command | What it does |
|---------|--------------|
| `/opsx-new <name>` | Start a new change, step by step |
| `/opsx-continue <name>` | Continue an existing change |
| `/opsx-ff <name>` | Fast-forward: all artifacts at once |
| `/opsx-verify <name>` | Verify implementation |
Try `/opsx-propose` to start your first change.
```
Exit gracefully.
---
## Guardrails
- **Follow the EXPLAIN → DO → SHOW → PAUSE pattern** at key transitions (after explore, after proposal draft, after tasks, after archive)
- **Keep narration light** during implementation—teach without lecturing
- **Don't skip phases** even if the change is small—the goal is teaching the workflow
- **Pause for acknowledgment** at marked points, but don't over-pause
- **Handle exits gracefully**—never pressure the user to continue
- **Use real codebase tasks**—don't simulate or use fake examples
- **Adjust scope gently**—guide toward smaller tasks but respect user choice

name: openspec-sync-specs
description: Sync delta specs from a change to main specs. Use when the user wants to update main specs with changes from a delta spec, without archiving the change.

compatibility: Requires openspec CLI.

Sync delta specs from a change to main specs.
This is an **agent-driven** operation - you will read delta specs and directly edit main specs to apply the changes. This allows intelligent merging (e.g., adding a scenario without copying the entire requirement).
**Input**: Optionally specify a change name. If omitted, check if it can be inferred from conversation context. If vague or ambiguous you MUST prompt for available changes.
**Steps**
1. **If no change name provided, prompt for selection**
Run `openspec list --json` to get available changes. Use the **AskUserQuestion tool** to let the user select.
Show changes that have delta specs (under `specs/` directory).
**IMPORTANT**: Do NOT guess or auto-select a change. Always let the user choose.
2. **Find delta specs**
Look for delta spec files in `openspec/changes/<name>/specs/*/spec.md`.
Each delta spec file contains sections like:
- `## ADDED Requirements` - New requirements to add
- `## MODIFIED Requirements` - Changes to existing requirements
- `## REMOVED Requirements` - Requirements to remove
- `## RENAMED Requirements` - Requirements to rename (FROM:/TO: format)
If no delta specs found, inform user and stop.
3. **For each delta spec, apply changes to main specs**
For each capability with a delta spec at `openspec/changes/<name>/specs/<capability>/spec.md`:
a. **Read the delta spec** to understand the intended changes
b. **Read the main spec** at `openspec/specs/<capability>/spec.md` (may not exist yet)
c. **Apply changes intelligently**:
**ADDED Requirements:**
- If requirement doesn't exist in main spec → add it
- If requirement already exists → update it to match (treat as implicit MODIFIED)
**MODIFIED Requirements:**
- Find the requirement in main spec
- Apply the changes - this can be:
- Adding new scenarios (don't need to copy existing ones)
- Modifying existing scenarios
- Changing the requirement description
- Preserve scenarios/content not mentioned in the delta
**REMOVED Requirements:**
- Remove the entire requirement block from main spec
**RENAMED Requirements:**
- Find the FROM requirement, rename to TO
d. **Create new main spec** if capability doesn't exist yet:
- Create `openspec/specs/<capability>/spec.md`
- Add Purpose section (can be brief, mark as TBD)
- Add Requirements section with the ADDED requirements
4. **Show summary**
After applying all changes, summarize:
- Which capabilities were updated
- What changes were made (requirements added/modified/removed/renamed)
**Delta Spec Format Reference**
```markdown
## ADDED Requirements
### Requirement: New Feature
The system SHALL do something new.
#### Scenario: Basic case
- **WHEN** user does X
- **THEN** system does Y
## MODIFIED Requirements
### Requirement: Existing Feature
#### Scenario: New scenario to add
- **WHEN** user does A
- **THEN** system does B
## REMOVED Requirements
### Requirement: Deprecated Feature
## RENAMED Requirements
- FROM: `### Requirement: Old Name`
- TO: `### Requirement: New Name`
```
**Key Principle: Intelligent Merging**
Unlike programmatic merging, you can apply **partial updates**:
- To add a scenario, just include that scenario under MODIFIED - don't copy existing scenarios
- The delta represents *intent*, not a wholesale replacement
- Use your judgment to merge changes sensibly
**Output On Success**
```
## Specs Synced: <change-name>
Updated main specs:
**<capability-1>**:
- Added requirement: "New Feature"
- Modified requirement: "Existing Feature" (added 1 scenario)
**<capability-2>**:
- Created new spec file
- Added requirement: "Another Feature"
Main specs are now updated. The change remains active - archive when implementation is complete.
```
**Guardrails**
- Read both delta and main specs before making changes
- Preserve existing content not mentioned in delta
- If something is unclear, ask for clarification
- Show what you're changing as you go
- The operation should be idempotent - running twice should give same result

name: openspec-verify-change
description: Verify implementation matches change artifacts. Use when the user wants to validate that implementation is complete, correct, and coherent before archiving.
license: MIT

Verify that an implementation matches the change artifacts (specs, tasks, design).
**Input**: Optionally specify a change name. If omitted, check if it can be inferred from conversation context. If vague or ambiguous you MUST prompt for available changes.
**Steps**
1. **If no change name provided, prompt for selection**
Run `openspec list --json` to get available changes. Use the **AskUserQuestion tool** to let the user select.
Show changes that have implementation tasks (tasks artifact exists).
Include the schema used for each change if available.
Mark changes with incomplete tasks as "(In Progress)".
**IMPORTANT**: Do NOT guess or auto-select a change. Always let the user choose.
2. **Check status to understand the schema**
```bash
openspec status --change "<name>" --json
```
Parse the JSON to understand:
- `schemaName`: The workflow being used (e.g., "spec-driven")
- Which artifacts exist for this change
3. **Get the change directory and load artifacts**
```bash
openspec instructions apply --change "<name>" --json
```
This returns the change directory and context files. Read all available artifacts from `contextFiles`.
4. **Initialize verification report structure**
Create a report structure with three dimensions:
- **Completeness**: Track tasks and spec coverage
- **Correctness**: Track requirement implementation and scenario coverage
- **Coherence**: Track design adherence and pattern consistency
Each dimension can have CRITICAL, WARNING, or SUGGESTION issues.
5. **Verify Completeness**
**Task Completion**:
- If tasks.md exists in contextFiles, read it
- Parse checkboxes: `- [ ]` (incomplete) vs `- [x]` (complete)
- Count complete vs total tasks
- If incomplete tasks exist:
- Add CRITICAL issue for each incomplete task
- Recommendation: "Complete task: <description>" or "Mark as done if already implemented"
**Spec Coverage**:
- If delta specs exist in `openspec/changes/<name>/specs/`:
- Extract all requirements (marked with "### Requirement:")
- For each requirement:
- Search codebase for keywords related to the requirement
- Assess if implementation likely exists
- If requirements appear unimplemented:
- Add CRITICAL issue: "Requirement not found: <requirement name>"
- Recommendation: "Implement requirement X: <description>"
6. **Verify Correctness**
**Requirement Implementation Mapping**:
- For each requirement from delta specs:
- Search codebase for implementation evidence
- If found, note file paths and line ranges
- Assess if implementation matches requirement intent
- If divergence detected:
- Add WARNING: "Implementation may diverge from spec: <details>"
- Recommendation: "Review <file>:<lines> against requirement X"
**Scenario Coverage**:
- For each scenario in delta specs (marked with "#### Scenario:"):
- Check if conditions are handled in code
- Check if tests exist covering the scenario
- If scenario appears uncovered:
- Add WARNING: "Scenario not covered: <scenario name>"
- Recommendation: "Add test or implementation for scenario: <description>"
7. **Verify Coherence**
**Design Adherence**:
- If design.md exists in contextFiles:
- Extract key decisions (look for sections like "Decision:", "Approach:", "Architecture:")
- Verify implementation follows those decisions
- If contradiction detected:
- Add WARNING: "Design decision not followed: <decision>"
- Recommendation: "Update implementation or revise design.md to match reality"
- If no design.md: Skip design adherence check, note "No design.md to verify against"
**Code Pattern Consistency**:
- Review new code for consistency with project patterns
- Check file naming, directory structure, coding style
- If significant deviations found:
- Add SUGGESTION: "Code pattern deviation: <details>"
- Recommendation: "Consider following project pattern: <example>"
8. **Generate Verification Report**
**Summary Scorecard**:
```
## Verification Report: <change-name>
### Summary
| Dimension | Status |
|--------------|------------------|
| Completeness | X/Y tasks, N reqs|
| Correctness | M/N reqs covered |
| Coherence | Followed/Issues |
```
**Issues by Priority**:
1. **CRITICAL** (Must fix before archive):
- Incomplete tasks
- Missing requirement implementations
- Each with specific, actionable recommendation
2. **WARNING** (Should fix):
- Spec/design divergences
- Missing scenario coverage
- Each with specific recommendation
3. **SUGGESTION** (Nice to fix):
- Pattern inconsistencies
- Minor improvements
- Each with specific recommendation
**Final Assessment**:
- If CRITICAL issues: "X critical issue(s) found. Fix before archiving."
- If only warnings: "No critical issues. Y warning(s) to consider. Ready for archive (with noted improvements)."
- If all clear: "All checks passed. Ready for archive."
**Verification Heuristics**
- **Completeness**: Focus on objective checklist items (checkboxes, requirements list)
- **Correctness**: Use keyword search, file path analysis, reasonable inference - don't require perfect certainty
- **Coherence**: Look for glaring inconsistencies, don't nitpick style
- **False Positives**: When uncertain, prefer SUGGESTION over WARNING, WARNING over CRITICAL
- **Actionability**: Every issue must have a specific recommendation with file/line references where applicable
**Graceful Degradation**
- If only tasks.md exists: verify task completion only, skip spec/design checks
- If tasks + specs exist: verify completeness and correctness, skip design
- If full artifacts: verify all three dimensions
- Always note which checks were skipped and why
**Output Format**
Use clear markdown with:
- Table for summary scorecard
- Grouped lists for issues (CRITICAL/WARNING/SUGGESTION)
- Code references in format: `file.ts:123`
- Specific, actionable recommendations
- No vague suggestions like "consider reviewing"
