openspec-archive-change

To archive completed OpenSpec changes, you run a workflow that validates artifact and task completion, optionally syncs delta specs, and moves finished changes to a date-based archive folder while preserving metadata and original structure.

Keeping OpenSpec workflow history auditable requires archiving finished changes with date-based naming and generating a final report detailing artifacts, tasks, and archive location for historical records.

Delta-spec synchronization assesses and optionally syncs delta specs with main specs prior to archiving, ensuring the primary workflow specifications are updated before the change artifacts are moved away.

Yes, validation gates verify artifact completion and task completion before archiving, optionally prompting you interactively to confirm that all implementation requirements are fully satisfied.

OpenSpec archiving preserves metadata and original structure by moving finished changes to an archive directory using date-based naming, ensuring the historical context of the change remains intact and auditable.

Limitations include ensuring all validation gates pass before archiving, as moving unfinished changes prematurely can break workflow history and compromise the audit trail of your delta specs.
