openspec-archive-change

To archive completed changes in the openspec workflow, you select a specific change, verify artifact and task completion, assess spec synchronization status, and execute the archive operation to move it to a timestamped directory.

Spec synchronization assessment evaluates whether delta specs need syncing with main specs before archiving. This ensures the archived workflow directory maintains accurate documentation of completed changes and prevents data inconsistencies.

Yes, you can automatically infer the change from context if not explicitly specified. The workflow allows selecting a specific change by name or automatically determining the correct change based on the current workflow context.

Yes, you need the openspec CLI and appropriate permissions to modify the workflow directory. The archiving process relies on the openspec CLI to verify completion status and create the timestamped archive directory.

The archiving process verifies that all artifacts and tasks are complete before proceeding. If completion checks fail, the archive operation is prevented to ensure only fully implemented changes are moved to the archive directory.

Automated change archiving is best when finalizing completed changes in the experimental workflow. It ensures proper spec synchronization, validates task completion, and creates timestamped archive directories that manual file moves cannot guarantee.
