FAQPage Schema
How do I archive completed workflow changes with date-stamped directories?

To archive completed workflow changes, this Skill verifies artifact and task completion, assesses delta spec synchronization status, and moves the change directory to an archive location with a date-stamped name to finalize project history.

What happens if delta specs are not synchronized with main specs during change archiving?

During change archiving, if delta specs are not synchronized with main specs, the Skill assesses the synchronization status and prompts you to sync them before moving the change directory to the archive location.

Do I need the openspec CLI to archive completed changes and verify task completion?

Yes, you need the openspec CLI installed to archive completed changes, as the Skill requires it for performing status checks and handling potential delta spec synchronization before moving the directory.

How does change management workflow verify artifact and task completion before archiving?

Change management workflow verifies artifact and task completion by running status checks through the openspec CLI, ensuring all related artifacts and tasks are successfully completed before allowing the change directory to move to the archive.

Can I move incomplete change tasks to the archive location in the experimental workflow?

No, you cannot move incomplete change tasks to the archive location because the Skill enforces artifact and task completion verification, blocking the archiving process until all associated tasks are marked complete.
