What problem does it solve?

Archive a completed change in the experimental workflow.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Supports end-to-end archival flow including artifact and task checks, delta-spec syncing, and safe move to archive.
  • Enforces guardrails: prompts for missing selections, validates statuses, and preserves .openspec.yaml during archive.
  • Use Case: When a change in an OpenSpec project is fully implemented and ready for archival, this Skill handles the formal archiving and historical record.

Quick Start

Provide the change name when prompted to begin archiving the change.

FAQPage Schema
How do I archive a completed OpenSpec change safely?

To archive a completed OpenSpec change safely, this workflow validates artifact and task completion, synchronizes optional delta-specs, and moves the change directory into a dated archive folder while preserving .openspec.yaml.

What happens if I try to archive an OpenSpec change with missing artifacts?

When archiving an OpenSpec change with missing artifacts, the process enforces guardrails by prompting for missing selections and validating artifact statuses to ensure formal completion before moving the directory.

Does OpenSpec archiving require delta-spec synchronization?

Delta-spec synchronization is an optional step during OpenSpec archiving, allowing you to align specification deltas before the change directory is safely moved into the historical archive folder.

When do I need to archive an OpenSpec change?

You need to archive an OpenSpec change when the implementation is fully complete and the project requires formal archiving, ensuring all artifacts and tasks are validated for the historical record.

How does the OpenSpec archive process preserve project configuration?

The OpenSpec archive process preserves project configuration by retaining the .openspec.yaml file during the safe move operation, ensuring the archived change maintains its original context and settings.

Can I skip task validation when archiving OpenSpec changes?

You cannot skip task validation; the archiving flow enforces guardrails that validate artifact completion and prompt for missing selections to ensure only fully implemented changes are archived.
