Does it require external tools?

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

How does it categorize implementation issues?

Issues are grouped into three priority levels: CRITICAL (must fix), WARNING (should fix), and SUGGESTION (minor improvements).

What if I only have a task list and no design document?

The skill features graceful degradation; it will verify whatever artifacts are present (like tasks) and simply skip checks for missing documents like design.md.

What artifacts does this skill check?

The skill analyzes tasks.md, delta specifications (requirements and scenarios), and design.md files within the OpenSpec change directory.

How does it help with archiving?

It serves as a final quality gate, ensuring that the 'implementation' phase is truly complete and matches the 'spec' and 'design' phases before the change record is archived.

Developer Tools

Validates software implementations against specifications, tasks, and design documents to ensure project consistency before archiving.

OpenSpec Change Verifier is a specialized auditing tool for Claude Code designed to synchronize code implementation with project documentation. By analyzing change artifacts such as task lists, delta specifications, and design documents, the skill identifies unimplemented requirements, detects architectural divergences, and ensures scenario coverage. It generates a comprehensive verification report categorized by completeness, correctness, and coherence, providing developers with actionable file-and-line references to fix discrepancies before a change is finalized or archived.
