2name: openspec-update-change
3description: Update an OpenSpec change by revising its existing planning artifacts and keeping them coherent with one another. Use when the user wants to revise a change's plan, fold new decisions into it, or reconcile its artifacts after an edit. Never edits code.

13Revise a change's existing planning artifacts and keep them coherent. Never edit code.
14
15**Store selection:** If the user names a store (a store is a standalone OpenSpec repo registered on this machine) or the work lives in one, run `openspec store list --json` to discover registered store ids, then pass `--store <id>` on the commands that read or write specs and changes (`new change`, `status`, `instructions`, `list`, `show`, `validate`, `archive`, `doctor`, `context`, `schemas`, `view`). Once selected, treat `--store <id>` as sticky for the rest of the workflow. Every unscoped example of those commands below is shorthand: before running it, append the flag. For example, run `openspec status --change "<name>" --json --store "<id>"`, not the unscoped form shown below. Other commands do not take the flag. Hints printed by commands already carry the flag; keep it on follow-ups. Without a store, commands act on the nearest local `openspec/` root.
16
17**Input**: Optionally specify a change name. If omitted, check if it can be inferred from conversation context. If vague or ambiguous you MUST prompt for available changes.
18
19`/opsx:continue` is an optional workflow and may not be installed. Before suggesting it anywhere below, verify that it is available. If it is unavailable, `openspec status --change "<name>" --json` shows the next artifact and `openspec instructions "<artifact-id>" --change "<name>" --json` explains how to create it.
20
21**Steps**
22
231. **Select the change**
24
25 If a name is provided, use it. Otherwise:
26 - Infer from conversation context if the user mentioned a change
27 - Auto-select if only one active change exists
28 - If ambiguous, run `openspec list --json` to get available changes sorted by most recently modified, and ask the user to select one
29
30 When prompting, present the top 3-4 most recently modified changes as options, showing:
31 - Change name
32 - Schema (from `schema` field if present, otherwise "spec-driven")
33 - Status (e.g., "0/5 tasks", "complete", "no tasks")
34 - How recently it was modified (from `lastModified` field)
35
36 Mark the most recently modified change as "(Recommended)" since it's likely what the user wants to update.
37
38 Always announce: "Using change: <name>" and how to override (e.g., `/opsx:update <other>`).
39
402. **Get the change's artifacts**
41 ```bash
42 openspec status --change "<name>" --json
43 ```
44 Parse the JSON to understand current state. The response includes:
45 - `schemaName`: The workflow schema being used (e.g., "spec-driven")
46 - `artifacts`: Array of artifacts with their status ("done", "skipped", "ready", "blocked")
47 - `isPlanningComplete`: Boolean indicating if all planning artifacts are complete. Older CLI versions expose the same value as `isComplete`.
48 - `planningHome`, `changeRoot`, `artifactPaths`, and `actionContext`: path and scope context. Use these instead of assuming repo-local paths.
49
50 The artifact ids and paths come from the active schema - do NOT assume them, and do NOT branch on hardcoded artifact names. Custom schemas must work unchanged.
51
52 The files to edit are `artifactPaths.<id>.existingOutputPaths` - the concrete files that exist on disk, already glob-expanded for glob artifacts (e.g. `specs/**/*.md`). Do NOT write to `resolvedOutputPath`: for a glob artifact it is still the glob pattern, not a real file.
53
543. **Understand the request**
55 - If the user asked for a specific revision ("the design now uses X"), that is the starting edit.
56 - If they only said "update" / "make this coherent", treat it as a coherence review: read the existing artifacts and check them against each other for contradictions, gaps, and duplication.
57
584. **Read and reconcile**
59 - Read the artifact(s) the request touches and the change's other existing artifacts.
60 - Apply the requested edit. Then check every other existing artifact against it - in ANY direction: an edit to a later artifact may require revising an earlier one, not only the other way around. Build order is a useful reading order, not a constraint on which artifacts may be revised.
61 - Note everything that is now inconsistent, missing, or contradictory.
62 - Revise only files that already exist (`existingOutputPaths`). Do NOT create artifacts that don't exist yet, and do NOT invent new files under a glob artifact - note them and point the user to `/opsx:continue` to create them.
63 - If the change is already coherent, say so and make no edits.
64
655. **Confirm and apply, one artifact at a time**
66 - Show each proposed revision and why. Write only after the user confirms.
67 - If the user rejects a revision, do not write it - leave that artifact unchanged.
68 - When a substantial rewrite is needed, get that artifact's rules and template first:
69 ```bash
70 openspec instructions "<artifact-id>" --change "<name>" --json
71 ```
72
736. **Point to the next step (guidance only - NEVER act on it)**
74 - Artifacts still missing -> suggest `/opsx:continue` to create them.
75 - Change already implemented (tasks checked off / already applied) -> the code may no longer match the revised plan; suggest `/opsx:apply` to carry the delta into code.
76 - Everything done and implemented -> suggest `/opsx:archive`.
77
78**Output**
79
80After each invocation, show:
81- Which artifacts were revised (and which proposed revisions were rejected)
82- Anything deferred to `/opsx:continue` (not-yet-created artifacts or files)
83- Where the change stands and the recommended next command
84
85**Guardrails**
86- Planning artifacts only - NEVER edit implementation code. If the revised plan implies code changes, stop and point to `/opsx:apply`.
87- Use the artifact ids and paths reported by `openspec status`; never branch on hardcoded artifact names.
88- Edit only the concrete files in `existingOutputPaths`; never write to a glob `resolvedOutputPath`.
89- Do not advance the build frontier: no new artifacts, no new files under glob artifacts - that is `/opsx:continue`'s job.
90- Confirm every edit with the user before writing.
91- If the request changes the change's *intent* rather than refining it, first verify whether the optional `/opsx:new` workflow is available. If it is, recommend starting fresh with `/opsx:new` (the "Update vs. Start Fresh" heuristic). If it is unavailable, ask for a distinct unused change name and recommend `openspec new change "<new-change-name>"` instead.
