How does it handle projects with missing design files?

The skill uses graceful degradation; if a design.md or spec file is missing, it will skip those specific checks and focus on available artifacts like tasks.md.

What happens if the skill finds an unimplemented requirement?

It will flag the requirement as a CRITICAL issue in the Verification Report and provide a specific recommendation on what needs to be implemented.

Do I need to install any external tools?

Yes, this skill requires the openspec CLI to be installed and accessible in your environment to query change metadata and artifacts.

What is the primary purpose of the OpenSpec Change Verifier?

It ensures that the code you've written actually matches the requirements, tasks, and design documents defined in your OpenSpec workflow before you finish a change.

Can I use this for TDD (Test Driven Development)?

Absolutely. It supports various workflows including spec-driven and TDD, verifying that scenarios defined in your specs are covered by implementation or tests.

Seguridad y Pruebas

Validates code implementations against project specifications, tasks, and design documents to ensure full alignment before archiving.

The OpenSpec Change Verifier is a specialized Claude Code skill designed to automate the validation of software implementation cycles. By integrating with the openspec CLI, it systematically audits code changes across three critical dimensions: completeness (task coverage), correctness (requirement mapping), and coherence (design consistency). It generates a structured scorecard that identifies critical blockers, warnings, and architectural deviations, providing developers with actionable feedback to ensure high-quality, spec-compliant software delivery and reducing the risk of missing requirements.
