What happens if a subagent fails to implement a specification?

The workflow will pause and report the failure to you. You can then choose to retry with a new subagent, skip that specific spec, or abort the entire loop to investigate the issue.

Can I process multiple specifications at the same time?

To ensure maximum quality and prevent conflicts, this skill enforces sequential execution. It completes and archives one specification before moving on to the next one in the queue.

What is the main benefit of using the OpenSpec Loop skill?

The primary benefit is context isolation. By dispatching a fresh subagent and running the /clear command for every spec, it prevents 'context pollution' where previous code changes or discussions interfere with the current implementation.

Does this skill write code directly in the main session?

No, it acts as a coordinator that delegates implementation to dedicated subagents. This maintains a clean main session and ensures each spec is handled with focused attention.

Productivity & Workflow

Systematically implements OpenSpec change proposals through isolated, sequential subagent delegation to ensure clean, high-quality implementation.

OpenSpec Implementation Loop is a specialized Claude Code skill designed for the structured evolution of software projects through OpenSpec change proposals. It orchestrates the implementation process by dispatching a dedicated, fresh subagent for every specification, ensuring that each change is developed in a clean context with zero interference from previous tasks. By enforcing sequential execution and automatic spec archiving, it provides a reliable, audit-ready workflow for developers managing complex feature rollouts or architectural migrations where precision and context isolation are paramount.

Key Features
