FAQPage Schema
How do I archive completed changes in the experimental workflow?

To archive completed changes in the experimental workflow, run the archive-change command via the openspec CLI. The process verifies artifact and task completion status, assesses spec sync, and prompts for confirmation before moving the change directory to the archive location.

What happens if my artifacts or tasks are not completed before archiving?

Before archiving, the workflow checks the completion status of artifacts and tasks. If artifacts or tasks are incomplete, the process identifies the missing elements and prompts for user confirmation to prevent prematurely finalizing and archiving incomplete changes.

Does the archiving process sync delta specs with main specs?

Yes, the archiving process includes a spec sync assessment that evaluates delta specs and synchronizes them with main specs if applicable. This ensures main specifications remain current before the change directory is moved to the archive.

Do I need openspec-sync-specs to finalize and archive a change?

Yes, you need both the openspec and openspec-sync-specs skills installed. The archiving process relies on openspec CLI for execution and requires openspec-sync-specs to properly assess and synchronize delta specs with main specs before finalizing.

Can I archive a change without providing a specific change name?

Yes, you can archive a change without a specific name. If no change name is provided, the system will automatically prompt for change selection, allowing you to choose the correct completed change from the available list before proceeding.
