What artifacts does this skill check?

It validates implementation against tasks.md, design.md, and delta specifications located in the openspec/changes directory.

How does it determine if a requirement is met?

It uses keyword searches and file path analysis to find implementation evidence and maps it back to requirements and scenarios defined in your specs.

Can I use it for ongoing work?

Yes, while designed for pre-archival validation, you can run it any time to see a progress report of completed vs. pending tasks and requirements.

Does it require external tools?

Yes, this skill requires the openspec CLI to be installed and configured in your development environment.

What kind of issues does the report highlight?

The report categorizes findings into Critical (must fix), Warning (should review), and Suggestion (best practice improvements).

Security & Testing

Validates that code implementations align perfectly with specifications, tasks, and design documents before archival.

OpenSpec Verify Change is an automated validation skill that ensures project implementations are complete, correct, and coherent. It systematically cross-references your codebase against openspec artifacts like tasks.md, specs, and design.md to identify missing requirements, unimplemented scenarios, or architectural deviations. By providing a structured scorecard with critical, warning, and suggestion-level feedback, it helps developers maintain high code quality and ensures that every change meets the original intent before being finalized.
