FAQPage Schema

How do I archive completed workflow changes and validate task status?▼

Before archiving experimental workflow changes, you need automated checks for unfinished artifacts, incomplete tasks, and unsynced delta specs to ensure the change is fully finalized and safe to move.

How do I handle naming conflicts when creating a date-stamped archive directory?▼

When creating a date-stamped archive directory, the skill handles naming conflicts automatically and provides a concise summary report outlining what was archived and any warnings encountered.

Can I synchronize spec files before moving a change to the archive folder?▼

Yes, you can perform optional spec synchronization before archiving, allowing you to sync delta specs during the finalization process before the change is safely moved to the archive folder.

What happens if I try to archive a change with incomplete tasks or unfinished artifacts?▼

Archiving a change with incomplete tasks or unfinished artifacts triggers automated validation checks that prevent unsafe archiving, warning you of incomplete items before proceeding with the archive operation.
