openspec-archive-change

To archive OpenSpec changes, provide the change name and the tool moves it to openspec/changes/archive/YYYY-MM-DD-<name>. It validates artifact and task completion before finalizing the archive and preserving .openspec.yaml.

When artifacts or tasks are incomplete during OpenSpec archiving, the workflow checks status with openspec status and prompts for action. This prevents archiving unfinished changes and ensures an auditable record of fully implemented tasks.

Yes, you can optionally sync delta specs with main specs prior to archiving an OpenSpec change. This syncing happens before the change is finalized and moved to the archive directory to preserve spec consistency.

Archiving completed OpenSpec changes prevents rework by finalizing implementations into an auditable history. It validates artifact completion and moves finished tasks to a dedicated archive, keeping the active workspace clean and preventing accidental duplicate effort.

Yes, you need to verify artifact and task status before archiving an OpenSpec change. The workflow runs openspec status and will prompt you for action if artifacts are incomplete, ensuring only fully implemented changes are archived.

The OpenSpec archive workflow requires all artifacts and tasks to be complete before moving the change directory. If tasks are incomplete, it prompts for action instead of archiving, preventing unfinished changes from entering the auditable archive.
