FAQPage Schema

How do I archive completed OpenSpec changes while preserving the configuration file?▼

To archive OpenSpec changes, the workflow moves completed changes into openspec/changes/archive/YYYY-MM-DD-<name> while preserving the .openspec.yaml file, ensuring a verifiable record of the state is safely maintained.

What is the best way to verify task completion before archiving an OpenSpec change?▼

Verifying task completion before archiving an OpenSpec change involves checking the tasks.md file to confirm all required tasks are finished before the change is moved to the archive directory.

How does delta spec synchronization work when finalizing an OpenSpec workflow?▼

Delta spec synchronization during OpenSpec archival assesses delta specs and syncs their state against main specs, ensuring experimental modifications are properly reconciled before the change is archived.

Can I validate artifact status automatically before moving changes to the archive?▼

You can validate artifact status automatically by running openspec status --json, which checks artifacts and provides a clear summary of actions and warnings before the change is archived.

What happens to the .openspec.yaml file when an OpenSpec change is archived?▼

When an OpenSpec change is archived, the .openspec.yaml file is preserved within the archive directory structure at openspec/changes/archive/YYYY-MM-DD-<name>, keeping the configuration intact.

Why does my OpenSpec archival process generate warnings about delta specs?▼

OpenSpec archival generates warnings about delta specs when they are compared against main specs and discrepancies are found. The workflow assesses delta specs, syncs state, and reports unresolved issues in the summary.
