FAQPage Schema
How do I archive completed workflow changes using a CLI?

To archive completed workflow changes, this Skill automates the process by verifying all artifacts and tasks are complete before moving them to the archive. It uses the openspec CLI to execute the archival and display a summary.

What happens if my delta spec is not synced before archiving a change?

Before archiving a change, the Skill assesses your delta spec sync state to ensure data integrity. If artifacts or tasks are incomplete, it blocks the archival process and prompts for user confirmation.

Do I need the openspec CLI to finalize and archive experimental changes?

Yes, the openspec CLI is a required dependency for change management. You need it installed to automate the archival process, verify completion, and check delta spec sync states.

Can I archive a change without specifying its name explicitly?

Yes, the Skill allows you to specify a change name manually or automatically infers the target change from the current context. It then verifies completion before executing the archival process.

When should I archive completed changes in a specification workflow?

You should archive completed changes once all associated artifacts and tasks are finalized. Archiving maintains a secure historical record of the experimental workflow for future reference.
