What problem does it solve?
This Skill helps teams finalize and archive an OpenSpec experimental change once implementation is complete, reducing manual checks and ensuring a consistent archive process.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Guided Selection: Prompts the user to select an active change when the name is not provided to avoid accidental archiving.
- Completion Validation: Uses openspec status to verify artifact completion and scans tasks for incomplete items, prompting the user on warnings.
- Delta Spec Assessment & Sync: Compares change delta specs to main specs, summarizes differences, offers an optional sync, and then moves the change to a dated archive location.
- Use Case: When a developer finishes a feature branch represented as an OpenSpec change, use this Skill to validate, optionally sync any spec deltas, and move the change to openspec/changes/archive with preserved configuration.
Quick Start
Use the openspec-archive-change skill to select a completed change, review warnings about artifacts or tasks, optionally sync delta specs, and archive the change to openspec/changes/archive.
