How does the skill know which task to work on next?

The skill fetches the current status and instructions from the CLI, identifies the next pending item in your tasks file, and proceeds to implement it.

Can this skill handle different workflow schemas?

Yes, it automatically detects the schema (such as spec-driven) and adjusts which context files it reads and how it processes the implementation tasks.

Do I need the OpenSpec CLI to use this skill?

Yes, this skill acts as an interface for the OpenSpec CLI and requires it to be installed and available in your environment.

What is an OpenSpec change?

An OpenSpec change is a structured container for tasks, specifications, and context used to guide AI-driven development workflows through the OpenSpec CLI.

What happens if a task is ambiguous or reveals a design issue?

The skill includes built-in guardrails that trigger a pause, allowing it to ask for clarification or suggest updating design artifacts before continuing.

Productivity & Workflow

Automates the implementation of coding tasks by executing OpenSpec changes and maintaining real-time progress tracking.

The OpenSpec Task Implementer skill streamlines the software development lifecycle by systematically working through tasks defined within an OpenSpec change. It manages the entire implementation process, from inferring the correct context and reading design specifications to performing iterative, focused code changes and updating task lists automatically. By maintaining a tight feedback loop and ensuring code changes remain scoped to specific objectives, it helps developers stay aligned with technical specifications while providing clear status updates and handling blockers or ambiguities gracefully.
