openspec-archive-change

To archive an OpenSpec change, select the finished change and run validation checks on artifacts and tasks. The workflow assesses delta spec synchronization and prompts for confirmation before moving the change to the final archive.

You should sync delta specs with main specs during change management when the workflow detects pending delta updates before archiving. It assesses synchronization needs and offers an optional confirmation flow to finalize the merge.

You cannot seamlessly archive an OpenSpec change with incomplete elements. The archiving process validates artifact and task completion first, actively prompting you to resolve any outstanding items before allowing the final move.

The best way to preserve traceability is archiving completed changes through the guided workflow. It finalizes the state, preserves associated artifacts and delta specs, and generates a summary for audit purposes.

Yes, the OpenSpec archiving workflow supports custom change name selection. It guides you through an optional naming step before proceeding to artifact completion checks and delta spec synchronization assessment.

The archive process requires a delta spec synchronization assessment to ensure main specs reflect implemented changes. This prevents state inconsistencies by deciding whether to sync deltas before finalizing the archive.
