What problem does it solve?
This Skill resolves the risk of losing change history by merging finalized delta specifications into the main “source of truth” and then archiving the full completed change for traceability.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Delta-to-main spec synchronization: Merges added, modified, and removed requirements from delta specs into existing main specs while preserving unspecified requirements.
- Archive folder movement with ISO dates: Moves the entire change folder into an archive location using a YYYY-MM-DD prefix to maintain an immutable audit trail.
- Mode-aware persistence and reporting: Supports engram, openspec, hybrid, and none artifact modes, including mandatory archive-report persistence keyed by change name.
- Verification guardrails: Encourages verification of main spec updates, archive contents, and active directory cleanup, with rules to avoid archiving on critical verification issues.
Quick Start
Run the sdd-archive skill as the executor after implementation and verification, providing the change name and artifact store mode so it can sync specs, archive the change, and persist the archive-report.
