Implement tasks from an OpenSpec change.
13+
14+
**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.
15+
16+
**Steps**
17+
18+
1. **Select the change**
19+
20+
If a name is provided, use it. Otherwise:
21+
- Infer from conversation context if the user mentioned a change
22+
- Auto-select if only one active change exists
23+
- If ambiguous, run `openspec list --json` to get available changes and use the **AskUserQuestion tool** to let the user select
24+
25+
Always announce: "Using change: <name>" and how to override (e.g., `/opsx:apply <other>`).
26+
27+
2. **Check status to understand the schema**
28+
```bash
29+
openspec status --change "<name>" --json
30+
```
31+
Parse the JSON to understand:
32+
- `schemaName`: The workflow being used (e.g., "spec-driven")
33+
- Which artifact contains the tasks (typically "tasks" for spec-driven, check status for others)
34+
35+
3. **Get apply instructions**
36+
37+
```bash
38+
openspec instructions apply --change "<name>" --json
39+
```
40+
41+
This returns:
42+
- Context file paths (varies by schema - could be proposal/specs/design/tasks or spec/tests/implementation/docs)
43+
- Progress (total, complete, remaining)
44+
- Task list with status
45+
- Dynamic instruction based on current state
46+
47+
**Handle states:**
48+
- If `state: "blocked"` (missing artifacts): show message, suggest using openspec-continue-change
49+
- If `state: "all_done"`: congratulate, suggest archive
50+
- Otherwise: proceed to implementation
51+
52+
4. **Read context files**
53+
54+
Read the files listed in `contextFiles` from the apply instructions output.
55+
The files depend on the schema being used:
56+
- **spec-driven**: proposal, specs, design, tasks
57+
- Other schemas: follow the contextFiles from CLI output
58+
59+
5. **Show current progress**
60+
61+
Display:
62+
- Schema being used
63+
- Progress: "N/M tasks complete"
64+
- Remaining tasks overview
65+
- Dynamic instruction from CLI
66+
67+
6. **Implement tasks (loop until done or blocked)**
68+
69+
For each pending task:
70+
- Show which task is being worked on
71+
- Make the code changes required
72+
- Keep changes minimal and focused
73+
- Mark task complete in the tasks file: `- [ ]``- [x]`
74+
- Continue to next task
75+
76+
**Pause if:**
77+
- Task is unclear → ask for clarification
78+
- Implementation reveals a design issue → suggest updating artifacts
79+
- Error or blocker encountered → report and wait for guidance
80+
- User interrupts
81+
82+
7. **On completion or pause, show status**
83+
84+
Display:
85+
- Tasks completed this session
86+
- Overall progress: "N/M tasks complete"
87+
- If all done: suggest archive
88+
- If paused: explain why and wait for guidance
89+
90+
**Output During Implementation**
91+
92+
```
93+

What would you like to do?
139+
```
140+
141+
**Guardrails**
142+
- Keep going through tasks until done or blocked
143+
- Always read context files before starting (from the apply instructions output)
144+
- If task is ambiguous, pause and ask before implementing
145+
- If implementation reveals issues, pause and suggest artifact updates
146+
- Keep code changes minimal and scoped to each task
147+
- Update task checkbox immediately after completing each task
148+
- Pause on errors, blockers, or unclear requirements - don't guess
149+
- Use contextFiles from CLI output, don't assume specific file names
150+
151+
**Fluid Workflow Integration**
152+
153+
This skill supports the "actions on a change" model:
154+
155+
- **Can be invoked anytime**: Before all artifacts are done (if tasks exist), after partial implementation, interleaved with other actions
156+
- **Allows artifact updates**: If implementation reveals design issues, suggest updating artifacts - not phase-locked, work fluidly

Archive a completed change in the experimental workflow.
13+
14+
**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.
15+
16+
**Steps**
17+
18+
1. **If no change name provided, prompt for selection**
19+
20+
Run `openspec list --json` to get available changes. Use the **AskUserQuestion tool** to let the user select.
21+
22+
Show only active changes (not already archived).
23+
Include the schema used for each change if available.
24+
25+
**IMPORTANT**: Do NOT guess or auto-select a change. Always let the user choose.
26+
27+
2. **Check artifact completion status**
28+
29+
Run `openspec status --change "<name>" --json` to check artifact completion.
30+
31+
Parse the JSON to understand:
32+
- `schemaName`: The workflow being used
33+
- `artifacts`: List of artifacts with their status (`done` or other)
34+
35+
**If any artifacts are not `done`:**
36+
- Display warning listing incomplete artifacts
37+
- Use **AskUserQuestion tool** to confirm user wants to proceed
38+
- Proceed if user confirms
39+
40+
3. **Check task completion status**
41+
42+
Read the tasks file (typically `tasks.md`) to check for incomplete tasks.
43+
44+
Count tasks marked with `- [ ]` (incomplete) vs `- [x]` (complete).
45+
46+
**If incomplete tasks found:**
47+
- Display warning showing count of incomplete tasks
48+
- Use **AskUserQuestion tool** to confirm user wants to proceed
49+
- Proceed if user confirms
50+
51+
**If no tasks file exists:** Proceed without task-related warning.
52+
53+
4. **Assess delta spec sync state**
54+
55+
Check for delta specs at `openspec/changes/<name>/specs/`. If none exist, proceed without sync prompt.
56+
57+
**If delta specs exist:**
58+
- Compare each delta spec with its corresponding main spec at `openspec/specs/<capability>/spec.md`
59+
- Determine what changes would be applied (adds, modifications, removals, renames)
60+
- Show a combined summary before prompting
61+
62+
**Prompt options:**
63+
- If changes needed: "Sync now (recommended)", "Archive without syncing"
64+
- If already synced: "Archive now", "Sync anyway", "Cancel"
65+
66+
If user chooses sync, use Task tool (subagent_type: "general-purpose", prompt: "Use Skill tool to invoke openspec-sync-specs for change '<name>'. Delta spec analysis: <include the analyzed delta spec summary>"). Proceed to archive regardless of choice.
67+
68+
5. **Perform the archive**
69+
70+
Create the archive directory if it doesn't exist:
71+
```bash
72+
mkdir -p openspec/changes/archive
73+
```
74+
75+
Generate target name using current date: `YYYY-MM-DD-<change-name>`
76+
77+
**Check if target already exists:**
78+
- If yes: Fail with error, suggest renaming existing archive or using different date
79+
- If no: Move the change directory to archive
80+
81+
```bash
82+
mv openspec/changes/<name> openspec/changes/archive/YYYY-MM-DD-<name>
83+
```
84+
85+
6. **Display summary**
86+
87+
Show archive completion summary including:
88+
- Change name
89+
- Schema that was used
90+
- Archive location
91+
- Whether specs were synced (if applicable)
92+
- Note about any warnings (incomplete artifacts/tasks)
93+
94+
**Output On Success**
95+
96+
```
97+
## Archive Complete
98+
99+
**Change:** <change-name>
100+
**Schema:** <schema-name>
101+
**Archived to:** openspec/changes/archive/YYYY-MM-DD-<name>/
102+
**Specs:** ✓ Synced to main specs (or "No delta specs" or "Sync skipped")
103+
104+
All artifacts complete. All tasks complete.
105+
```
106+
107+
**Guardrails**
108+
- Always prompt for change selection if not provided
109+
- Use artifact graph (openspec status --json) for completion checking
110+
- Don't block archive on warnings - just inform and confirm
111+
- Preserve .openspec.yaml when moving to archive (it moves with the directory)
112+
- Show clear summary of what happened
113+
- If sync is requested, use openspec-sync-specs approach (agent-driven)
114+
- If delta specs exist, always run the sync assessment and show the combined summary before prompting
