/openspec-phase5	Reflect	Self-assessment
/openspec-phase6	Archive	Archive completed change

Usage

# Run autonomous implementation
.opencode/scripts/openspec-auto <change-name>

# With options
.opencode/scripts/openspec-auto add-auth --max-phase-iterations 20 --verbose
.opencode/scripts/openspec-auto add-auth --from-phase PHASE3
.opencode/scripts/openspec-auto add-auth --dry-run

Options

Option	Description
--max-phase-iterations N	Max retries per phase before failing (default: 10, -1 for unlimited)
--timeout N	Timeout in seconds
--model MODEL	Specify model to use
--verbose	Enable verbose output
--dry-run	Show what would happen
--force	Force operation
--clean	Clean state before starting
