FAQPage Schema
How do I archive a completed OpenSpec change after implementation?

To archive a completed OpenSpec change, you provide the change name to prompt for selection and verify artifact and task completion, then safely archive the change to the designated archive directory while preserving metadata.

What is the process for syncing delta specs with main specs before archiving?

Syncing delta specs involves comparing delta specs with main specs and optionally syncing via openspec, ensuring all changes are reconciled before the change is safely archived to the archive directory with metadata preserved.

When should I archive OpenSpec changes using change-management automation?

You should archive OpenSpec changes when a change has been fully implemented and you need to verify artifact and task completion, optionally sync delta specs, and preserve metadata in a designated archive directory.

How do I verify artifact and task completion before archiving an OpenSpec change?

Verifying artifact and task completion is handled by checking artifact completion and task status during the archival workflow, ensuring only fully implemented changes are archived to the openspec/changes/archive/YYYY-MM-DD-<name> directory.

Can I use OpenSpec archiving without manually syncing delta specs?

Yes, delta spec syncing is optional during OpenSpec archiving; the tool compares delta specs with main specs and allows you to optionally sync via openspec before safely archiving the completed change with metadata preservation.

What metadata is preserved when archiving an OpenSpec change to the archive directory?

When archiving an OpenSpec change to the designated archive directory at openspec/changes/archive/YYYY-MM-DD-<name>, the tool preserves the change's associated metadata while presenting a clear summary of the operation.
