Core Features & Use Cases

Merge delta specs into the main specs to keep the source of truth up to date.
Move the completed change folder to a date-prefixed archive directory for provenance.
Generate and store an archive report that captures artifact IDs and actions for auditability.

Quick Start

Instruct the orchestrator to archive a completed change by triggering the sdd-archive workflow.

FAQPage Schema

How do I archive delta specs and merge them into the main specifications?▼

To archive delta specs, merge them into the main specifications and move the completed change folder to a date-prefixed archive directory. This process preserves existing non-delta data and outputs a structured summary including archive path and verification status.

What is the best way to maintain an audit trail for completed change management?▼

Maintaining an audit trail for change management involves moving completed change folders to an archive directory and generating a report capturing artifact IDs and actions. This ensures traceable provenance and auditability for merged delta specs.

Does spec merging overwrite existing data in the main specifications?▼

Spec merging enforces non-destructive merges, preserving existing non-delta data in the main specifications. Only the completed delta spec changes are integrated, ensuring the source of truth remains intact while updating with new artifacts.

Can I use OpenSpec and Engram modes for archiving delta specs?▼

Yes, archiving delta specs operates across engram, openspec, and hybrid modes. Each mode applies explicit rules for artifact handling and filesystem moves to successfully archive folders and generate verification reports.

What is included in the archive report after merging delta specs?▼

The archive report includes artifact IDs, executed actions, archive path, updated specs, and verification status. This structured summary provides full auditability and traceable provenance for the completed change management process.

When should I move a completed change folder to an archive directory?▼

You should move a completed change folder to an archive directory after successfully merging its delta specs into the main specifications. This finalizes the change management workflow by securing the provenance and generating the audit report.
