openspec-archive-change

To archive completed OpenSpec changes, the workflow validates artifact completion, task status, and delta specs before moving the change to an archive directory. It prompts for change selection, checks statuses, and preserves configuration files for future reference.

OpenSpec change management validation checks artifact completion and task status before archiving. It issues warnings when tasks or artifacts are incomplete and assesses delta-spec synchronization to ensure accurate archival of experimental changes.

To finalize experimental OpenSpec workflows, trigger the archive process after confirming delta-spec synchronization. The workflow validates tasks and artifacts, then archives the change into a date-stamped directory while preserving the .openspec.yaml configuration file.

You can attempt to archive an OpenSpec change with incomplete tasks, but the validation process will issue warnings regarding incomplete artifacts and tasks. It assesses delta-spec sync to prevent archiving inaccurate change records.

Archived OpenSpec changes are stored in the openspec/changes/archive/YYYY-MM-DD-<name> directory. This preserves the .openspec.yaml configuration file and summarizes results to maintain a reliable record of artifacts, tasks, and delta specs.
