| Implement tasks from an OpenSpec change (Experimental) |
Implement tasks from an OpenSpec change.
Input: Optionally specify a change name (e.g., /opsx-apply add-auth). If omitted, check if it can be inferred from conversation context. If vague or ambiguous you MUST prompt for available changes.
Steps
-
Select the change
If a name is provided, use it. Otherwise:
- Infer from conversation context if the user mentioned a change
- Auto-select if only one active change exists
- If ambiguous, run
openspec list --jsonto get available changes and use the AskUserQuestion tool to let the user select
Always announce: "Using change: " and how to override (e.g.,
/opsx-apply <other>). -
Check status to understand the schema
openspec status --change "<name>" --jsonParse the JSON to understand:
schemaName: The workflow being used (e.g., "spec-driven")- Which artifact contains the tasks (typically "tasks" for spec-driven, check status for others)
-
Get apply instructions
openspec instructions apply --change "<name>" --jsonThis returns:
- Context file paths (varies by schema)
- Progress (total, complete, remaining)
- Task list with status
- Dynamic instruction based on current state
Handle states:
- If
state: "blocked"(missing artifacts): show message, suggest using/opsx-continue - If
state: "all_done": congratulate, suggest archive - Otherwise: proceed to implementation
-
Read context files
Read the files listed in
contextFilesfrom the apply instructions output. The files depend on the schema being used:- spec-driven: proposal, specs, design, tasks
- Other schemas: follow the contextFiles from CLI output
-
Show current progress
Display:
- Schema being used
- Progress: "N/M tasks complete"
- Remaining tasks overview
- Dynamic instruction from CLI
-
Implement tasks (loop until done or blocked)
For each pending task:
- Show which task is being worked on
- Make the code changes required
- Keep changes minimal and focused
- Mark task complete in the tasks file:
- [ ]→- [x] - Continue to next task
Pause if:
- Task is unclear → ask for clarification
- Implementation reveals a design issue → suggest updating artifacts
- Error or blocker encountered → report and wait for guidance
- User interrupts
-
On completion or pause, show status
Display:
- Tasks completed this session
- Overall progress: "N/M tasks complete"
- If all done: suggest archive
- If paused: explain why and wait for guidance
Output During Implementation
## Implementing: <change-name> (schema: <schema-name>)
Working on task 3/7: <task description>
[...implementation happening...]
✓ Task complete
Working on task 4/7: <task description>
[...implementation happening...]
✓ Task complete
Output On Completion
## Implementation Complete
**Change:** <change-name>
**Schema:** <schema-name>
**Progress:** 7/7 tasks complete ✓
### Completed This Session
- [x] Task 1
- [x] Task 2
...
All tasks complete! You can archive this change with `/opsx-archive`.
Output On Pause (Issue Encountered)
## Implementation Paused
**Change:** <change-name>
**Schema:** <schema-name>
**Progress:** 4/7 tasks complete
### Issue Encountered
<description of the issue>
**Options:**
1. <option 1>
2. <option 2>
3. Other approach

Guardrails
- Keep going through tasks until done or blocked
- Always read context files before starting (from the apply instructions output)
- If task is ambiguous, pause and ask before implementing
- If implementation reveals issues, pause and suggest artifact updates
- Keep code changes minimal and scoped to each task
- Update task checkbox immediately after completing each task
- Pause on errors, blockers, or unclear requirements - don't guess
- Use contextFiles from CLI output, don't assume specific file names
Fluid Workflow Integration
This skill supports the "actions on a change" model:
- Can be invoked anytime: Before all artifacts are done (if tasks exist), after partial implementation, interleaved with other actions
- Allows artifact updates: If implementation reveals design issues, suggest updating artifacts - not phase-locked, work fluidly
