openspec-archive-change

To archive a completed change in an openspec workflow, you supply the change name so the skill can verify artifact and task completion, compare delta specs, perform the archive, and present a summary. This ensures safe and transparent finalization.

Delta spec synchronization during change archiving is the process of comparing delta specs against main specs and optionally updating the main specs before finalizing. This ensures your project history remains consistent and traceable when you archive a change.

Artifact and task status checks work by verifying that all related artifacts and tasks are fully completed before allowing a change to be archived. This validation step prevents incomplete work from entering your archived project history.

Change archiving does not strictly require delta specs to be synced with main specs, but it assesses and optionally synchronizes them before archiving. This provides an audit trail showing whether specs were synced during the process.

The audit trail included when archiving a change provides a summarized report detailing the schema, the storage location, and whether delta specs were synced. This ensures traceability and a clean project history for your finalized workflow.
