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

To archive completed openspec changes, you provide the change name and the skill applies artifact and task status checks, performs a delta-spec assessment, and safely moves files to openspec/changes/archive/YYYY-MM-DD-<name>.

What is the best way to automate change archiving while preserving metadata?

Automating change archiving is handled by enforcing change-name prompts and preserving essential metadata like .openspec.yaml during the file transfer to the dated archive directory.

Does the openspec archive process check for target conflicts before moving files?

Yes, the openspec archive process ensures no target conflicts exist before archiving, handling existing targets gracefully and providing a clear summary of the final archival results.

How do delta-specs affect the process to archive completed changes?

Delta-specs are assessed during the change archiving process to verify that all experimental workflow modifications are finalized and validated before the artifacts are safely moved.

Why do I need to check artifact and task statuses before archiving a change?

Checking artifact and task statuses is required before archiving a change to enforce guardrails, ensuring the implementation is fully completed and preventing premature archival of active workflow items.
