SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill verifies that an implementation matches the change artifacts (specs, tasks, and design) to ensure completeness, correctness, and coherence before archiving.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Completeness checks: Validate that tasks and delta specs are fully addressed, with explicit recommendations for missing items.
  • Correctness checks: Assess whether implemented code aligns with change requirements, and flag potential divergences for review.
  • Coherence checks: Ensure design decisions and project patterns are followed, or clearly documented deviations.

Quick Start

  • Provide a change name when prompted, or let the skill request a selection from available changes with the openspec CLI.
  • Run the verification workflow: openspec status --change "<name>" --json, then openspec instructions apply --change "<name>" --json to load artifacts, and review the generated report.

FAQPage Schema
How do I verify that my code changes match the specification before archiving?▼

Verification checks that your implementation matches change artifacts—specs, tasks, and design—for completeness, correctness, and coherence. Run `openspec status --change "<name>" --json` followed by `openspec instructions apply --change "<name>" --json` to load artifacts and generate a verification report.

What does a completeness check validate in a code review?▼

Completeness checks confirm that all tasks and delta specs in your change are fully addressed, with explicit recommendations flagging any missing items so nothing is overlooked before archiving.

Can I validate that my implementation follows project design patterns?▼

Yes. Coherence checks ensure design decisions and project patterns are followed, or clearly document deviations so reviewers understand intentional divergences from established conventions.

What do I need to run this verification on my changes?▼

You need the openspec CLI installed and access to delta spec artifacts stored under `openspec/changes/<change>/`, including spec files, tasks, and context data for your software project.

How does correctness validation flag misaligned code?▼

Correctness checks assess whether implemented code aligns with change requirements and surface potential divergences for review, helping catch gaps between specification and actual implementation.
