What's New in v1.11.0

This release makes it easier to see exactly what a change proposes, check your whole workspace at a glance, and trust that your specs and skills land right where you expect.

New

• openspec show <change> --diff - See precisely what a change alters. Because a MODIFIED requirement has to restate every scenario it keeps, the delta you review is mostly text identical to the main spec. --diff isolates the lines that actually change, as a colorized unified diff per requirement, with full text for ADDED, the authored Reason and Migration notes for REMOVED, and clear FROM/TO for RENAMED. --json --diff brings the same detail to your pipelines, and --store <id> diffs against that store.
• openspec status --all - Check every active change in one command instead of one process per change. The JSON envelope is sorted and stable, and a change that fails to load contributes a diagnostic in place rather than stopping the sweep, so dashboards and CI always get the full picture.

Improved

• Explore mode asks before it writes - Explore now names the artifacts or files it proposes to create or edit and waits for a clear yes in a separate message before touching anything. Answering its own clarifying questions no longer reads as consent. Read-only exploration stays friction-free.
• Explore diagrams render consistently everywhere - Worked examples use plain ASCII, so boxes and tables keep their alignment across terminals, fonts, and locales.
• Fish completions stay on topic - Commands, subcommands, flags, and positionals no longer fall back to filesystem suggestions, while genuine path arguments still complete paths.
• Antigravity uses the shared .agents/ root - Skills and workflows land where Antigravity looks for them and coexist cleanly with other tools sharing that tree. An existing .agent/ install migrates automatically, and anything you customized is preserved and pointed out rather than overwritten.
• openspec validate catches an unwritten Purpose - A capability still carrying the placeholder that archive writes is now reported, so specs get a real Purpose instead of quietly keeping a to-do. It stays a warning by default and only fails under --strict.

Fixed

• Archive keeps requirement order on rename - A renamed requirement stays in its original position instead of moving to the end of the spec, keeping archive diffs small and easy to read.
• schema init --default sets the default - The command now writes the schema key the config loader actually reads, so a new schema takes effect right away. It also validates and stages config changes before installing, and rolls back cleanly if anything fails.
