FAQPage Schema

How do I archive completed OpenSpec changes to preserve workflow history?▼

To archive completed OpenSpec changes, provide the change name when prompted and confirm the prompts. The system validates task completion, performs optional delta-spec synchronization, and moves the change into a date-stamped archive under planningHome.changesDir to preserve durable artifact history.

What happens if I try to archive an OpenSpec change with incomplete tasks?▼

Archiving an OpenSpec change with incomplete tasks is prevented by the system. The archive process validates artifact and task completion beforehand to ensure no partial archival occurs, safeguarding the integrity of your durable artifact history.

Does workspace-planning mode prevent OpenSpec change archiving?▼

Workspace-planning mode can prevent OpenSpec change archiving. When you attempt to archive a change in this mode, the system will issue a warning, indicating that the current workspace configuration restricts creating archives within planningHome.changesDir.

How do I sync delta-specs before finalizing an OpenSpec archive?▼

To sync delta-specs before finalizing an OpenSpec archive, the process performs a delta-spec sync assessment and offers optional syncing prior to the actual archival. This ensures the archived change reflects the most current specification state.

Do I need OpenSpec CLI access to archive changes?▼

Yes, you need OpenSpec CLI access and permission to create archives within planningHome.changesDir to archive changes. The archiving process relies on the CLI to validate, synchronize, and move the changeRoot into a date-stamped archive.
