What problem does it solve?

This Skill removes the manual friction of finalizing a completed OpenSpec change by checking readiness, handling user confirmation, and moving the change into the archive in a controlled way.

Core Features & Use Cases

Change Selection: Helps users choose the correct active change when no name is provided or the request is ambiguous.
Completion Validation: Verifies artifact status and task completion before archiving so incomplete work is clearly surfaced.
Spec Sync Assessment: Compares delta specs against main specs and supports syncing before archive when needed.
Archive Execution: Safely moves the change into a dated archive path and reports the outcome.
Use Case: A developer finishes an experimental workflow change, confirms all tasks are done, optionally syncs specs, and archives the work with a clear summary.

Does archiving an OpenSpec change require the openspec CLI?▼

Yes, archiving an OpenSpec change requires the openspec CLI to perform status checks, validate archive paths, and execute the directory moving process.

What happens if I try to archive an incomplete OpenSpec change?▼
