SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Archive a completed change in the experimental workflow to finalize and organize artifacts after implementation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Interactive change selection and prompts for archival decisions to avoid data loss.
  • Artifact status verification, delta-spec synchronization, and safe archiving to openspec/changes/archive.
  • Preservation of configuration files (like .openspec.yaml) during archival and a final summary report.

Quick Start

Provide the change name when prompted and follow the on-screen prompts to archive the change.

FAQPage Schema
How do I archive completed OpenSpec changes after implementation?

Archive completed OpenSpec changes by providing the change name, allowing the tool to check artifact completion, synchronize delta-specs, and move files to openspec/changes/archive. Configuration files like .openspec.yaml are preserved during the process.

What is delta-spec synchronization in change-management workflows?

Delta-spec synchronization in change-management workflows verifies artifact statuses and coordinates updates before archiving. This ensures experimental workflow changes are safely finalized and organized after implementation.

Does the OpenSpec archiving process preserve .openspec.yaml configuration files?

Yes, the OpenSpec archiving process preserves .openspec.yaml configuration files. When moving completed changes to openspec/changes/archive, the tool maintains the original configuration structure to prevent data loss.

How do I safely move implemented changes to an archive directory?

Safely move implemented changes to an archive directory by using interactive prompts and artifact status verification. The tool coordinates delta-spec synchronization and archives files to openspec/changes/archive/YYYY-MM-DD-<name> with a final summary report.

What are the limitations of archiving OpenSpec changes without artifact verification?

Archiving OpenSpec changes without artifact verification risks data loss and incomplete delta-spec synchronization. Interactive prompts for archival decisions ensure all artifacts are completed and properly coordinated before moving to the archive directory.

When do I need to archive a completed change in the experimental workflow?

You need to archive a completed change in the experimental workflow after implementation is finished. This finalizes the change-management process by organizing artifacts and moving them to the archive with a dated folder structure for tracking.
