openspec-archive-change

Archive completed changes in openspec by selecting the change name and confirming all artifacts and tasks are complete. The workflow moves finalized changes into the archive directory while preserving the original .openspec.yaml metadata.

Audit artifact and task completion before archiving a change by running openspec status checks. The workflow enforces prompts for incomplete items, ensuring only validated changes move into the dated archive directory.

Delta-spec synchronization checks compare your change's delta specs with main specs during the archiving process. This assessment ensures your openspec specs remain in sync before the finalized change is moved to the archive.

You can archive a change with incomplete items, but the workflow applies prompts to warn you. It checks artifact and task completion via openspec status and offers optional validation guardrails before proceeding with the archive.

The openspec archive workflow creates dated directories to provide a safe, auditable record of finalized changes. This structured archive management approach preserves context and artifacts for future reference.

No specific dependencies are required to use the openspec change archiving workflow. It operates independently to validate completion, check delta specs, and manage the structured archive directory within your experimental workflow.
