- Added back tasks to update the actual specs (not just proposals)
- Included validation implementation tasks
- Kept implementation-focused structure
- Clarified that specs in changes folder are proposals, not current truth
- CLI specs now reference openspec-conventions for shared concepts
- Added standard output symbols definition to conventions
- Simplified tasks.md to focus on implementation only
- Fixed terminology to consistently use 'normalized header'
- Condense 'What Changes' section to core concepts only
- Simplify Impact section to essentials
- Make Conflict Resolution one concise paragraph
- Remove inline comment from example
- Focus on the key benefit: readable GitHub diffs
- Remove phased migration timeline (project not in use yet)
- Remove deprecation notices from CLI commands
- Keep simple backward compatibility for both formats
- Replace full future state storage with delta-based approach
- Store only ADDED, MODIFIED, RENAMED, and REMOVED requirements
- Use headers as unique identifiers for programmatic matching
- Enable cleaner GitHub reviews showing only actual changes
- Add comprehensive examples and implementation tasks
The update command now only updates existing AI tool configuration
files instead of forcing CLAUDE.md creation. This allows team members
to use different AI tools without conflicts.
- Modified update.ts to check for existing files before updating
- Added comprehensive tests for the new behavior
- Updated spec and documentation to reflect team-friendly approach
- Created project README documenting the behavior
- Add --skip-specs flag to archive command to skip spec update operations
- Fix confirmation behavior: declining spec updates now continues with archiving instead of cancelling
- Add comprehensive tests for new functionality
- Update task documentation to reflect completed implementation
The update command now only updates existing AI tool configuration

Add change proposal to enable skipping spec updates during archive operation.
This allows archiving changes that don't modify specs (tooling, docs, etc.)
and fixes the confirmation behavior to continue archiving even when users
decline spec updates.
- Add Specification Format section to openspec-conventions with:
- Requirement headers for consistent structure
- Scenario headers with bold WHEN/THEN/AND keywords
- Format flexibility for different content types
- Update all CLI command specs to use structured format:
- cli-init: Convert all behavioral sections
- cli-list: Apply structured format throughout
- cli-update: Restructure requirements and edge cases
- cli-diff: Update all behavior sections
- cli-archive: Convert complex behaviors to scenarios
- Update openspec-conventions spec itself to follow its own format
- Mark all tasks as completed
- Remove migration.md as project has no existing users to migrate
- Remove Migration Support section from tasks.md
- Structured format only applies to behavioral specs, not convention definitions
- Merge format rules into openspec-conventions instead of separate spec
- Add Format Flexibility requirement for non-behavioral content
- Address review feedback on gradual migration and alternative formats
The archive command was missing critical functionality to update main specs
from the change's future state specs when archiving. This fix adds:
- Spec update process that copies future state specs to main specs directory
- Confirmation prompt showing which specs will be created vs updated
- --yes flag for automation scenarios to skip confirmations
- Safety by default with clear visibility into spec changes
- Add word-level diff highlighting for changed lines
- Improve file headers with status indicators and statistics
- Add summary view showing total files changed and lines modified
- Enhanced visual formatting with separators and colors
- Extract magic strings as constants for maintainability
- Define @requirement marker syntax for identifying requirements in specs
- Each marker includes a kebab-case identifier before WHEN/THEN blocks
- Document convention in openspec-conventions spec
- Enables reliable extraction without brittle regex parsing
- Fix empty line filtering to preserve formatting in diffs
- Replace prompts with @inquirer/prompts for consistency
- Extract magic strings as constants
- Mark tests as incomplete in tasks.md
