FAQPage Schema

How do I merge delta specs into a main specs repository without losing traceability?▼

To merge delta specs without losing traceability, archive the completed delta changes into the main specs repository using conflict-aware resolution. This process syncs specifications while moving the change folder to a dated archive path to preserve audit trails.

What is the best way to archive delta changes and prevent spec drift?▼

Archiving delta changes prevents spec drift by moving completed change folders to a dated archive path and persisting an archive report. This maintains an auditable summary and ensures the main specs repository stays canonical and synchronized.

Does the archiving process support both delta-merge and full-replace scenarios?▼

Yes, the archiving process supports both delta-merge and full-replace scenarios across domains. It applies mode-aware behavior to satisfy specific merge rules, ensuring the archive report persistence adapts to the chosen replacement strategy.

How do I relocate archived specifications using a date-prefix directory structure?▼

You relocate archived specifications by moving the entire change folder to a date-prefix directory structure at openspec/changes/archive/YYYY-MM-DD-{change-name}/. This ensures chronological organization and traceable audit trails for completed work.

Can I persist an archive report to Engram or Openspec backends for auditing?▼

Yes, you can persist an archive report to Engram or Openspec backends for auditing. The archiving workflow operates with mode-aware behavior to generate and store these reports, maintaining a verifiable audit trail across configured systems.
