openspec-archive-change

To archive completed changes in a project workflow, you select the specific change, verify that all artifacts and tasks are complete, assess delta spec sync state, and execute the archive operation to finalize it into the historical record.

Change management archiving is the process of finalizing and safely storing completed workflow changes. It is needed when implementation is complete and you need to transition active changes into a managed historical record.

To check if a change is ready for archiving, the system verifies that all associated artifacts and tasks are complete and assesses the delta spec sync state before allowing the archive operation to proceed.

You cannot archive a project documentation change if tasks are incomplete. The workflow checks artifact and task completion status, ensuring only fully finalized changes are safely stored and archived.

Yes, you need the openspec dependency to archive workflow changes. The Skill operates within the openspec environment to prompt for change selection, verify completion, and execute the archiving process.

A workflow change archive operation fails when artifact and task completion checks are not met or the delta spec sync state is invalid, preventing incomplete changes from being archived in the project documentation system.
