To archive OpenSpec changes safely, use a workflow that verifies artifact and task completion, prompts for explicit confirmation on unfinished work, syncs delta specifications, and moves files into dated archive directories without overwriting existing archives.

When archiving incomplete OpenSpec tasks, the workflow checks artifact and task status, clearly warns about the unfinished work, and requires your explicit confirmation before proceeding with the archival to prevent accidental data loss.

Yes, OpenSpec archival reviews delta specifications against main specifications and offers synchronization before moving the completed change into a dated archive directory to ensure all documents are up to date.

Yes, you need the OpenSpec CLI installed to archive completed changes, as the workflow requires it to list active changes, check completion status, and execute the file operations for safe archival.

Archived OpenSpec changes are organized into dated archive paths, which prevents overwriting existing archives, preserves change metadata, and reports the final outcome of the archival process.

If no change name is provided, the workflow lists all active OpenSpec changes and prompts you to explicitly choose one, ensuring you archive the correct feature implementation safely.
