openspec-archive-change

To archive completed changes in an openspec workflow, you use a command that checks artifact and task completion status before finalizing and storing the changes. This ensures only fully implemented changes are archived.

Change archiving in experimental workflow management is the process of finalizing and storing changes once implementation is complete. It verifies completion status and optionally syncs delta specs before moving changes to an archive location.

Yes, the openspec CLI is required to finalize and archive changes. The archiving process depends on the CLI for listing available changes, checking their status, and managing artifacts before completing the archival.

Yes, you can optionally sync delta specs with main specs before archiving a change. This integrates incremental specification updates into the main specification set during the finalization process.

If artifact and task completion checks fail, the archiving process prevents the change from being finalized. The system verifies that all necessary artifacts and tasks are complete before allowing the archival to proceed.

To select a specific change to archive, you provide the change name as an argument to the archive command. If no name is provided, you can select from a list of available changes retrieved via the openspec CLI.
