How to return to the Review phase after Implement Tasks? #355

Closed

Description

@chenw191

In the workflow diagram, I see that after "Implement Tasks", besides "ship the change", there's also a "feedback loop" option. How
should I do this? The AI doesn't seem to automatically modify spec.md and tasks.md.

    I usually need to explicitly tell it, now have a canned instruction/prompt that tells it to do so. The problem is usually related to the context window – it "forgets" to do things that are a part of a longer cycle, especially after any implementation.

    Kind of in a similar situation , have to do a custom prompt to modify what openspec-proposal do .
    Hopefully we get some some new prompts like :

    1. openspec-update ($put your instruction).
    2. openspec-sync (summarize previous conversation and make change accordingly )

    Editing & Iterating on a Change answers it under "How do I go back to review after implementing?". The honest answer is that you never left. Review is not a phase you exit, so there is nothing to return to: open the artifacts, edit them, keep going. For a structured pass, /opsx:verify reads your artifacts and your code and reports where they disagree.

    @pexa-dnugent, on the "it forgets to update spec.md and tasks.md" problem: /opsx:update is the explicit way to ask for that revision instead of hoping the model remembers across a long cycle. Added in #1278, default profile as of v1.6.0. It may cover most of what your canned prompt has been doing.
