FAQPage Schema
How do I safely archive completed workspaces and keep them retrievable?▼

To safely archive workspaces, this Skill moves completed phase directories into an append-only archive. It generates retrieval pointers and a manifest, ensuring artifacts remain accessible for future reference without cluttering active areas.

What is an append-only archive with manifest generation for artifact cleanup?▼

An append-only archive preserves historical data by only adding records, never deleting them. This Skill generates an archive manifest and pointer files during cleanup, ensuring verifiable preservation and easy retrieval of archived artifacts.

Can I selectively archive phase directories without losing historical data?▼

Yes, you can selectively archive completed phase directories. The Skill preserves evidence through integrity checks and retrieval pointers, preventing data loss while removing stale work from your active colonies.

How do I retrieve archived artifacts after a colony cleanup?▼

You can retrieve archived artifacts on demand using the pointer files created during the archival process. These pointers link back to the append-only archive, allowing you to preview and restore historical data for audits.

Does artifact archival work for colonies with existing phase directories?▼

Yes, this archival process applies directly to colonies with phase directories and historical data that must be retained. It uses integrity checks to ensure verifiable preservation of your existing artifacts.
