FAQPage Schema

How do I archive completed workflow changes to keep project history auditable?▼

You can archive completed changes by selecting the target change interactively, verifying artifact and task completion, and packaging it into a timestamped directory under openspec/changes/archive to ensure traceability and history integrity.

What is delta-spec synchronization and when do I need it during change archival?▼

Delta-spec synchronization aligns experimental change specifications with main specs during the archive process. You need it when finalizing a change to ensure main specs reflect completed work without manually merging differences.

Can I archive a change if artifact and task statuses are not fully complete?▼

Archiving requires all artifact and task completion checks to pass first. The tool enforces these automated checks prior to archival to ensure only fully finalized changes are safely packaged and moved to the archive directory.

What is the best way to safely archive OpenSpec changes without losing provenance?▼

The best way to archive OpenSpec changes safely is using automated archival with timestamped packaging. This approach preserves provenance by moving completed artifacts to openspec/changes/archive while maintaining full traceability of original workflow history.

Does the change archival process provide a summary of the archived artifacts?▼

Yes, the change archival process generates a final operation summary after archiving. This summary details the selected change, artifact status checks, delta-spec synchronization results, and the timestamped packaged directory.
