OpenSpec change archiving safely relocates completed changes by moving them to openspec/changes/archive with a date-stamped folder name. It performs artifact completeness checks and preserves .openspec.yaml metadata for traceability before relocation.

Delta-spec synchronization assessment is the process of comparing specs before archiving an OpenSpec change. The workflow evaluates delta-specs during the status check phase and optionally syncs them to ensure artifact completeness and consistency.

Yes, OpenSpec archiving preserves .openspec.yaml metadata during the safe relocation process. The workflow retains this configuration file within the date-stamped archive folder to maintain full traceability of the completed change artifacts.

You check artifact completeness by initiating the OpenSpec archive workflow, which automatically performs status checks on the selected change. It evaluates artifact state and compares delta-specs before allowing the safe relocation to the archive.

The best way to move completed OpenSpec changes is using a dedicated archive workflow that automates safe relocation to openspec/changes/archive. It handles delta-spec synchronization, enforces completeness checks, and generates a concise summary of the archive.

OpenSpec change archiving requires status checks to ensure artifact completeness and verify delta-spec synchronization before relocation. This prevents incomplete or out-of-sync changes from being safely moved to the openspec/changes/archive directory.
