FAQPage Schema
How do I archive completed OpenSpec changes to keep project records clean?

To archive completed OpenSpec changes, you move the change directory to the openspec/changes/archive folder with a date-stamped structure, preserving traceability and ensuring auditable records.

What does the OpenSpec change archival workflow check before moving artifacts?

The OpenSpec change archival workflow performs artifact and task status checks via the openspec CLI to verify that a change is validated and ready before executing safe move operations.

When should I archive a delta-spec in OpenSpec change management?

You should archive a delta-spec in OpenSpec change management when a change is fully validated and ready, utilizing the optional delta-spec synchronization to preserve metadata during the archival process.

Does OpenSpec archiving preserve metadata when moving completed changes?

Yes, OpenSpec archiving preserves metadata by using safe move operations that transfer the validated change directory to a date-stamped archive folder without losing traceability or auditable records.

What is the best way to automate OpenSpec change archiving after implementation?

The best way to automate OpenSpec change archiving is to use a multi-step workflow that validates artifact and task statuses via the openspec CLI, then performs date-based archiving with optional delta-spec synchronization.

Can I archive an OpenSpec change if artifact or task status checks fail?

Archiving an OpenSpec change requires artifact and task status checks to pass via the openspec CLI first; if these validation checks fail, the change is not ready and the safe move operation will not proceed.
