FAQPage Schema
How do I archive completed changes in an openspec workflow?

To archive completed changes, this skill verifies artifact and task completion status, assesses delta spec synchronization, and moves the change directory to a designated archive location. It requires the openspec CLI for status checks and potential synchronization.

What happens if artifacts or tasks are incomplete when archiving a change?

When archiving a change with incomplete items, the skill performs status verification and provides warnings for incomplete artifacts or tasks. It assesses delta spec synchronization before moving the change directory to ensure project history remains organized.

How does delta spec synchronization work during change archiving?

Delta spec synchronization assesses experimental workflow changes against main specifications before archiving. The skill optionally syncs these delta specifications using the openspec CLI, ensuring completed changes align with the main project specs when moved to the archive location.

Do I need the openspec CLI to use automated change archiving?

Yes, the openspec CLI is required for automated change archiving. The skill depends on it to verify artifact and task completion status and to assess or synchronize delta specifications before moving the change directory to the archive.

When should I archive a change directory in change management?

You should archive a change directory after successfully implementing a new feature and testing all associated artifacts and tasks. This finalizes the experimental workflow, marks the change as complete, and maintains a clean, organized project history.
