openspec-bulk-archive-change

Batch archiving completed changes requires the openspec CLI to read the openspec/changes directory, tasks.md, and specs/ to determine implementation status and safely move multiple completed items into the archive simultaneously.

When archiving incomplete changes, the process generates optional warnings and status reports to alert you, while still inspecting the codebase and delta specs to determine what is actually implemented before finalizing the archival.

Yes, the openspec CLI is required because the batch archive operation depends on reading the openspec/changes directory, tasks.md, and specs/ files to accurately assess codebase status and resolve any spec conflicts before applying fixes.

Conflict resolution during batch archiving works by inspecting delta specs alongside the actual codebase to determine what is genuinely implemented, allowing the operation to apply necessary fixes safely across multiple parallel changes before they are archived.

Batch archiving is best when you have multiple changes, such as five completed in parallel, and need to keep the active set clean efficiently while preserving history, rather than handling each archival operation individually.
