openspec-archive-change

To archive completed changes, use this Skill to verify artifact and task completion, assess delta spec synchronization, and move the change directory to an archive location with a timestamped name after user confirmation.

The best way to verify task completion is using the openspec CLI for status checks and listing. This Skill automates that verification, ensuring artifacts and tasks are complete before moving the directory to the archive.

Archiving a change assesses delta spec synchronization and optionally syncs delta specifications with the main specs, ensuring your archived changes reflect the fully updated project specifications before the directory is moved.

Yes, you need the openspec CLI to archive completed changes. The Skill requires the CLI specifically for performing status checks and listing artifacts to verify that all tasks and artifacts are fully completed.

You can automate moving completed change directories by using this Skill, which handles the automatic transfer to an archive location with a timestamped name, keeping your active development scope clean and organized.

The archiving process prompts for user confirmation to prevent premature archiving. It ensures the user explicitly approves the status verification and delta spec synchronization before the change directory is permanently moved to the timestamped archive.
